If you like that, you might find this cool. This is my "one off" custom made mauser/ammo bag watch strap. Real mauser bag from the earlier 1900's. You can see where it would of buckled on the keeper. Same as where your strap above latches down. The strap smith uses only one bag that you choose per strap, a true one off. Thick strap at 5mm thick. It's a beautiful beast of a watch strap.
Congrats on your bag!
No problem. I like watches too, and will now check Google for info on that Helson watch. LOL
That helson is a beautiful piece brother. And IMO the only watch that does bronze justice. Especially after that Olivier disaster.
Nice! Look no further, here is a quick pic. Bronze is cool because it takes on a life of its own, every watch will patina differently.
That is sweet strap bro! I was not in on Olivier (hope you avoided or got money back) but enjoyed the read over the many months and the closed threads. Crazy horrible rollercoaster ride that was.That helson is a beautiful piece brother. And IMO the only watch that does bronze justice. Especially after that Olivier disaster.
Speaking of straps. My favorite hands down in my collection is my SNPR strap
Brings a whole new meaning to the term ammo strap
That patina is excellent! Too many people keep them pristine. Is that natural or did it get help with the boiled egg trick?Nice! Look no further, here is a quick pic. Bronze is cool because it takes on a life of its own, every watch will patina differently.
Peter Helson does a horrible job with his website pics, his watches and CS are top notch for a micro-brand.
Congrats! It looks amazing brother.
Don't fight it!
