Any personal experiences with Combat Straps?

Thanks Cru.

The strap is buffed to a nice sheen. "Scales" start small at the lugs, and then you have a couple of big ones..then small again at the ends. Cool pattern which says right away..."This ain't no gator!"

Only quibble is the lining isn't as thick / bright as a Dangerous 9 strap, but it works.

And he is also willing to do custom straps made to fit specific endlinks and so on.( for example My Tudor Pelagos)

i have 3 straps in order right now and i cant wait:-)

So i give Combat Straps 10++ for awesome straps and customer service.

I would love to see pics of your Pelegos. Is it Blue or Black ?

Yes I love it

I'm a bit late to the party on this one (first time in Panerai forum as I'm considering taking the plunge) but I highly recommend Aaron's work! I've ordered three from him and have a couple more that came with another watch. Here is the family photo.

Oh okay. I was just on the site and was trying to decide on one for my 233. I'm thinking canvas.

Great guy, amazing work, great prices.

Nice Vid.

Ostrich is a nice change up from Gator. Quite unique.

I've had the pleasure of receiving half a dozen straps from Aaron.

He makes it easy. Pick up the phone, chat with him, and he'll walk you through the various possibilities.

Quality workmanship, and a nice guy to deal with.
