Can't recommend Micah from vintager straps nearly enough. The guy does great work, the prices are reasonable and the man stands 100% behind his product.

And you gotta love the OEM Jules Verne strap. Little on the pricey side, but so cool and so comfy.

JF23 · 17 December 2008, 01:54 PM

Looks great Daren! Can't speak highly enough about Micah! I saw a pic of him wearing a Panerai T-Shirt at a GTG. Emailed him about where he got it, and it turned out to be a custom job. He emailed me the image and where to design it yourself online. Great Guy.

The JV looks better and better every time I see it!

mfer · 17 December 2008, 02:11 PM

Wow. I should pick that up to. Another one to put on the list!!!

Looking good Dman

Irish Dan · 17 December 2008, 02:13 PM

Looks great.
If I went to the dark side, I would do it with the 233.

Bisquitlips · 17 December 2008, 02:28 PM

Darren, that green thread makes the strap! When I get my PAM I would like to have one of those. Do you mind sharing where you got it?

Thanks!

The maker is Micah, posts under Molex. Just a first class dude and good friend of mine. If you google "vintagerstraps.com" you should find his site.

GBJIV · 17 December 2008, 03:42 PM

I just got the same Strap I think Daren - Mauser with Green thread? You are right. Micah is great to deal with and he totally stands behind his work.

He also is great with his response - even on Thanksgiving! He is fast too. I really enjoy his straps.

Pics soon!

I have a Mauser of his in 26mm. This one is his "Brindle" I believe. I am not sure, it was his pick for me. I have quite a few of his straps and love all of them. I actually have the first one he ever made not for himself. He asked me to try it to see if I liked it and it is still my favorite beater strap.

Here is his Mauser

Here is the original Vintager strap

I believe it is called the brindle with green stitch. Just ask him what he just made for dman and he should know. But I think that is what it is.

argee1977 · 17 December 2008, 05:49 PM

If you require someone to break in the new strap for you i can offer my service free of charge

The JV is " A MUST HAVE " in any strap collection

Wearing a 26/26 125/95 OEM JV on my 242,at the moment

walds11 · 17 December 2008, 09:00 PM

Looks good Daren. I cant believe that you still have the 233 :) If I jump back to Panerai, the 233 will probably be the one. I think the 233 is all anyone could want in a Panerai.

Trurolexer · 17 December 2008, 09:04 PM

Daren...Buddy...Dude...I Just Want To Say...AWESOME!!!

Cool, I plan to get that bridle strap soon. Considered tan stich but looking at pics with green stitch, which looks great!

Will ask Micah!

Wow! Thanks for the site. Pricey, but that is a gorgeous strap worthy of your PAM. One of the best I have seen.

My compliments!

Pricey maybe so, wait till you see what OEM straps go for! I was floored when they quoted me OEM buckle alone! (for that rubber strap).

boa2 · 18 December 2008, 04:22 AM

I have one of Micah's brindle straps as well. Super soft, very comfortable. And as you mentioned, superb customer service (both he and Greg Stevens).

oyster21 · 18 December 2008, 05:07 AM

very nice micah strap, dman!! thx for sharing.

mailman · 18 December 2008, 09:49 AM

The 233 is a great looking watch. I like the green on the strap too

Lemme ask you a question bro, the 233 has to be the longest that you've had a watch, right

mike · 18 December 2008, 10:38 AM

Outstanding combo bro.

Micah is high on my list for my next strap. He has one that's a stone color (grey) that PAM 111 written all over it.

Trurolexer · 18 December 2008, 03:45 PM

Micah is one of the BEST strapmaker.

miner · 20 December 2008, 08:17 PM

He is a great bloke to deal with. This Copperplate was one of my first and one of his last hand stitched straps.
