Icon2 So I ended up gettng a fat-strap for my 6263..... BUT

I threw it on my Meters 1st and was floored by how it looked!! Check it out:





And of course a couple of shots of both my pieces together:






Now I'm going to have to get another fat-strap for the 6263!!!

It's a buckle that folds out like the blades on a clasp and the leather strap pieces stay linked together. Where did you pick this up? It would look nice on my 16610.

Awesome I love those straps. Thanks for posting Is there another name for these straps other than fat-straps?
