[@larrydonovan1293]

Michael, so great to see you back on UA-cam! I am enjoying the strap you made for me a couple of months ago - it has transformed my Speedmaster into a very special watch!

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks Larry! Glad to hear you’re enjoying your strap on your Speedy… MK

[@jameslee3044]

great to see you back on youtube, even better to hear your feeling better!!! got my blue alligator from you a couple months ago for my yatchmaster and i absolutely love your craftmanship. Keep up the good work, stay healthy and I'll be ordering couple more straps in 2023

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks James! MK

[@dawster1949]

Great to have you back Michael! Amazing work as always and so enjoyable to watch. I’m surprised you haven’t used up all that Tiffany blue alligator yet with such high demand for those watches. I’m sure you will - it looks incredible dyed too 😊

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks! MK

[@chrism2996]

Great to have you back Michael, been wondering when you'd return!

Almost forgot to mention those straps are both gorgeous Michael…! And yes, that dyed blue gator came out fabulous with the lighter blue underneath which comes through to make the strap look so unique… Beautiful Mike…! Greg G.❤️💯👍

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks Brother! MK

[@laubwork]

Michael: As a new watch enthusiast I am very interested in your work. I will look at your site to acquaint myself with your order process. In any event, I congratulate you on a very informative video. I send you very warm regards, Randolph

[@StrapaWatch]

Thank you Randolph! MK

[@avmelidor]

Mint

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks! MK

[@juniorjohnson5961]

I wondered where you were hope your doing well 🙏

[@StrapaWatch]

Yep, doin good… Thanks! MK

[@Raccoonsareawesome]

Hermès also stitch through their fixed keeper.

[@StrapaWatch]

Very cool, Thanks Daniel! I’ll see if I can find him. MK

[@Raccoonsareawesome]

@@StrapaWatch The fashion house brand Hermés. I also like that way of doing it. The downside is that I either have to partially or fully finish the edge (crease and paint) before stitching. And I like to do that after stitching so I ”push down” the edges around the stitch

[@Matthew-wn8oq]

How much would it cost to have that exact same strap with deployment clasp made? Your work is incredible, that blue with the Tiffany underneath is killer! Do you have any material left? I have the nicest navy blue sunburst dial pilots watch and that strap would totally make it!

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks Matthew, but I’m out of stock on the Tiffany alligator to dye it that color. All of the straps and items that I make and sell are ordered directly through my Online Store on my website. Prices are listed there as well. www.MichaelKnappLeather.com/store

[@Matthew-wn8oq]

@@StrapaWatch damn that's my luck ! That color was special. You do some beautiful work, it's amazing you have no formal training. Thanks for the reply

[@johnal4560]

Hi what is the name of that tool that you use to make a straight line on the edge of the strap for making hole thx

[@StrapaWatch]

Stitch Groover… MK

[@sinjinadams2862]

I have to admit, I was extremely impressed all the way to the end until I saw the wrist roll of the tan strap and saw that it was not wide enough! What the Hell?! It looks like the width is about 1-2mm too small!

[@StrapaWatch]

Yes, Great eyes! This tan strap was ordered with 18mm lug width for him to alternate with this watch and another watch he has that’s 18mm. He was well aware that it would be 1mm off for this 19mm SLA037 lug width. I actually get orders like this often. Thanks for the observant comment! MK

[@sinjinadams2862]

@StrapaWatch Okay then, I'm glad to hear that. It didn't really make any sense to me how you could have been that off. Beautiful straps by the way. I'm not really a fan of blue straps but what you did with this one is amazing. Absolutely beautiful!

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks! I sometimes even get guys who want me to make a 22mm lug width strap for them to alternate with a 20mm lug width watch. Pretty crazy, but it’s requested more than you could imagine. On the flip side, I’ve had guys order a half dozen straps for one watch. Some even of the same color leather or alligator, but with different stitching colors. One of my customers has, to date, ordered 71 straps from me. He told me that he’s given some away as gifts to his sons, but that he’s also vacuum sealed over half of them for future use. He has a six inch wrist, which is another reason he told me why he loves my straps so much. Thanks again! MK

[@DroppedGoat69]

i have a Solid 18kt gold blue dial submariner and would like to work on a strap order with you how can i get in touch with you ? i was thinking about a blue leather band as well like the one in your video

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks for contacting me Angelo! My contact information is listed on my website: michaelknappleather.com/contact/

[@silassham8431]

How much is for a custom watch strap

[@StrapaWatch]

All of my straps are ordered directly through my Online Store on my website. The prices are listed for each item that I sell. MichaelKnappLeather.com

[@1959Berre]

Please do not speed up the video that fast; it is difficult to follow the process. I hate to say it, but your logo is off center on the inside of the strap. The devil is in the details.

[@StrapaWatch]

Thanks for sharing… MK
