    Bravo! The stitching looks perfect, the finish immaculate and the leather looks gorgeous! That strap on the Magrette Bronze is just about perfect, the leather color is just right, the choice of thread color and stitch pattern are excellent.

    I really enjoy hand made straps. These are great. I enjoy the stitching patterns on the Magrette.

    Holy profanity-soaked exclamation these are amazing! I LOVE the Regattare Bronze/strap combo and Le Mans hommage. These actually motivate me to try and make my own straps. Wonderful work!

    Just finished a 22mm version of the "S. McQueen", of course with Monaco watches in mind.
