Black Bay Leather Strap End Links.. PICS
Just had them put on. Needs a little tweaking for correct fit on the manufactured side. Maybe 1mm higher and 1/4 mm wider ??
George, thanks, pics to follow.. Would like imput from forum members please on this.

its definitely wrong measurements, needs to adjust height and lug width. I thought the lug width was 21mm as indicated by you, but it looks like 22mm. will do a research in the net to see if I could make it perfect.
OR, did I send you the wrong end links, please measure the links width and let me know please. Regards George |

To make up for my mistake, I bought a preowned black bay just hours ago so that a perfect BB end links will be ready this week and will ship on Monday. We won't have to guess the measurements anymore. Cheers George |

yeah, those are a bad fit for the BB. no way around it.
not only that, but, i'm not convinced that with the distressed strap one should use end-links. i think end-links fit better for a dressy look. |

Hi George , You are really..... a Kiasu, I guess. Keep the excellent work. I am waiting for a pair for BB after things are done.

Good stuff George !!
I'm sure when it's perfected it will look amazing I'm ready These were only prototypes if no one knows the history of what's up with this. No Black Bay was used to try these on prior to shipping around the world. Let's see what the look is on the leather before judgement.

I'll now think of the BB since you're working on it. Really didn't like the "gap" on the leather strap. Cheers! |
