Alright…I realize I have been completely lazy and not posted in FOREVER, so I figured no time like the present to turn that around!

This strap by Justin Chen is one of my favorites to wear with my PAM 233.  He makes his vintage straps a bit on the thin side which makes them extremely comfortable to wear.

Check out the texture and dimension on this vintage leather.  You just can’t duplicate that with new stuff.

Stay tuned for more posts coming soon.  I have a major backlog of images to post!

Even though he has taken a bit of a hiatus from strapmaking, Justin still remains one of my favorite strapmakers out there. Lucky for me, his straps still pop up on the pre-owned market every once in awhile. I managed to snag this one a couple weeks ago.

The grain of this gator hide looks amazing in person. Note the fact that Justin was able to keep the stitching almost perfectly straight. This is very difficult to do with the uneven surface of the hide.

JC signs the back of all his straps…I think it’s a nice touch.

Here’s a few shots of the strap on my Panerai 233 8 day 1950 GMT. I’m a huge fan of this combo!

Have a great weekend guys…Happy Friday!!!
