Nomos Orion 33 White on Ostrich by D9

I am very happy to share with you a little gift to myself.
This time it is Tobacco Gloss Ostrich Leg Skin strap with Vintage Brown Lambskin lining and Kangaroo mid-layer - again by John Glance of Munich.
John built two beautiful straps for me in the past, and I really like working with him.
I think it turned out really well, and I am very happy

Please, enjoy with me, and thank you for looking :-)

Looks good. Like the deep rich colour of tobacco.

John actually built it quite soundly, but it wears very light and pleasant.

Nomos Orion 33 White on Ostrich by D9

Looks great. I have an Orion date and a Metro PR that need some strap help. I love the Nomos Horween straps but they are so, well, plain I guess. Need to look up your strap guy. Been stalking a few others work and have bought from Artisan in the past.

Did the clasp come from him as well?

Thank you, really appreciate it. Yes, the clasp also came from D9.

It has always been very, very nice to work with John. He does take his time, but I am never in a rush, and the result always has been worth the wait.
Good luck, and I hope to see pictures of the new strap for your great watches.
