    Good day, IWL.

    Trying to avoid the rain. Not a great success, apparently.

    Happy Halloween to those like me who are still around 7 years old, in terms of emotional development.


    Something sorta black and orangish maybe, from mlcor...

    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    You should ask for 50% non-refundable when order placed Iyonk, as a gesture of goodwill
    You're making bespoke stuff, no decent customer would bat an eyelid for such a request. (i.e. they'd be more than happy to pay a deposit - it's just normal business practice)

    Shame it's not 1mm wider , it would fit my bigger Eberhard 8 Jour

    yes, you're totally correct Mike and that's the right way to do it... unfortunately this guy is from Philippines which make communication hindered a bit.. i was okay to take the order since it was his second order.. (he contact me thru instagram).. i will store the strap for now since it is not easy to sell a bespoke strap.. this one was made to fit sub 6,5" wrist and for a Stowa with 18mm lug.. that's why i made this 18mm taper to 16mm with 110mm for the long part and 70mm for the short part.. either i will wear it myself for my 18mm lug Seiko 5 or try to offer to sell the strap to a domestic customer with smaller wrist (not easy from what i tried in the past.. a 20mm might be easier, but 18mm is a bit more limited) i've been very2 limited with materials and almost run out of resources lately which make things a bit more difficult to swallow..
    i'll just take some rest for now.. i can deal with these situation since honestly it happen quite often..
    Thank you for your inputs Mike.. appreciate it..

    Meanwhile it always heart warming to have a satisfied customer also.. this one is from Germany
