Watch and Strap are Beauties, But Can You Show Us the Boots?
In Response To: OT : strapmaking #3.. *PIC* ()

David:

Must be very quick / do the northbound commute now, as the three to five inches of snow (now ice) has wreaked havoc on the streets of Atlanta.

Love the watch and strap, but can you show us some before and after photos of the boots? One quick reaction: maybe the spirit and tone of the strap would do best with an older watch, with some patina / wabi / scars? Maybe more chocolate or tan tones? Candidates are shown below. I would love to see this "rough and ready" strap, on a watch that has taken some hits over the years!! To my eye, the "Grail" merits a higher level of finish.
