Sub 5513 Maxi On Distressed Leather Strap

Hello all...wanted to share a pic of my 5513 Maxi (MK1) that I just changed from an Oyster bracelet to a custom distressed leather strap sourced from Gunny Straps. I had Peter make it with thread to match the dial / hands patina and couldn't be happier with the end result.

Here is a little better shot of the Gunny "Back Bay" distressed leather strap. Peter at Gunny is always a pleasure to work with...this is the 6th-7th strap I have bought from him and have always been extremely pleased with the quality.

Pretty much only wear my Maxi on straps.
I really like your Gunny strap. Might have to try one. I have always associated his work with Pam's but this looks great.

Just ordered a Diablo strap from Bulang & Sons for my 5513. Yours looks fantastic and nice insert. Will post picks when it arrives. Pretty excited!

Tried my Dweller on a bit of old leather, quite like it and the thicker case carries it off better than on my 5513.
