Baseball Mitt Strap for my Seiko diver
I was recently referred to a gentleman in Moscow named Alex who makes custom straps (mostly for Panerais), and I'm enjoying my purchase. I originally contacted him regarding one of his denim straps...but when he told me he can make them out of baseball mitts, I couldn't resist.
 Below is my Seiko diver (customized by yobokies) on my new one-of-a-kind Roberto Pena strap.  It's pretty comfortable due to the nice leather backing.

Love baseball glove leather. The seats in my F150 are Rawlings leather complete with the stitched logo.

That looks awesome! It looks really sturdy around the spring bars, which always worried me about the leather straps.

Thanks guys!
Ector, indeed it does feel very solid around the springbars. I bet it'll get even more comfortable as it wears in.
