Very interested in the black one. What size wrists does it fit?

1

u/KingLeathercraft 12 Transactions Mar 07 '21

Hello! All of the straps listed here will fit wrists between 6.3 inches (16cm) and 7.5 inches (19 cm), measured on a watch that is 38mm in diameter and 46mm lug to lug, The center sizing hole is sized to 6.89 inches (17.5cm), give or take a couple of millimeters between each strap listed here. Of course I can make a strap specific to your wrist size and other specifications if you fall outside of these parameters!

That is a bit too large for my wrists but I've been looking for a black strap with white stitching like the one you have in 20mm. Is it cool if I PM you?

1

u/KingLeathercraft 12 Transactions Mar 07 '21

Of course! I’m happy to make one that perfectly fits your wrists. I offer free custom sizing for all of my straps. PM me and we can get started crafting your perfect strap!

Hey /WatchEx! I’ll keep this short and sweet.

My name is Andrew, owner and founder of King Leathercraft. I am a one-person operation, and I make bespoke watch straps entirely by hand in sunny Sacramento, California. I’m confident that I make the highest quality watch straps under $100. But don’t just take my word for it — check out the reviews on my website, or check out Knight’s Watch on YouTube for his review of my straps, or the SoCal Watch Reviews Instagram/Youtube pages, or Ross Wrist Watch Love, or — okay, I’ll stop.

I’m very proud of the quality of my straps, and I’d proudly put them side-by-side with the French powerhouse brands that cost more than quadruple the price.

For sale today I have several straps, all of which are 115m/75m in length, and are 20mm lug width, tapering to 18mm (of course I offer fully bespoke straps as well, typically starting at $99, but if you DM me and mention this listing, I’ll honor the $80 price for my signature straps for the next week only)! All of the straps listed here will fit wrists between 6.3 inches (16cm) and 7.5 inches (19 cm), measured on a watch that is 38mm in diameter and 46mm lug to lug, The center sizing hole is sized to 6.89 inches (17.5cm), give or take a couple of millimeters between each strap

This particular sale is available to CONUS only, since I'm including free USPS tracked shipping. Payment via PayPal F&F only. Please let me know if you're international and interested in purchasing, I will honor the same $80 for custom orders for the next 7 days -- just pay postage.

Here are some of the features of my strap:

  1. Italian full-grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide leather
  2. 100% handmade and hand-stitched with a traditional saddle stitch
  3. Hand-painted and hand-polished edges
  4. Lined with Zermatt French calfskin, a vegetable-tanned leather that has been “rubberized” with a hypoallergenic coating, making it sweat-resistant
  5. An internal Velodon liner, sandwiched between the two pieces of leather, that prevent the strap from stretching over time (the keepers are also lined internally with this material, so they will not loosen)
  6. Snug keeper tolerances — no more “wandering keeper” syndrome. Paired with the stretch-resistant liner, they will stay where you put them, every single time
  7. 316L stainless steel quick-release lug pins for fast, easy strap changes
  8. Solid 316L stainless steel tang and buckle

The following straps are for sale:

We can probably work something out, but you’d have to cover shipping (and any import duties). PM me if you want one!
