Going Custom ...

Greetings! While I like the Rolex bracelet I’m always searching for ways to get the perfect strap on my Submariner . I may have found it by going custom. I put custom made end links from Eugene on my Sub along with a custom made Kevlar/Leather strap from Koon. The result is a perfect fit and the photos below prove it. This is my first custom made strap and I love it. Koon’s workmanship is fantastic and being able to specify the length of both portions of the strap as well as the location of the holes for the buckle means that the strap fits me exactly the way that I like it. Note that the buckle is centered in the middle of my wrist which is just how I like it. If you haven’t gone custom yet then you don’t know what you are missing.

Cheers,

Jonathan.

Not bad at all Jonathan.....I like it!

A black strap with matching green stitching would be the cats meow I think...You may have just cost some me money damn it!

Great choice, Jonathan.
Custom ordered a CF from K Straps last year and couldn't be happier.
