How to make masterpiece Alligator or Crocodile Leather Watch Straps and Bands!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

On this episode Michael showcases building two of his masterpiece handmade alligator watch straps, with shell cordovan leather linings, for a Aviatek Ford GT themed watch. The 2005 Ford GT was made in limited numbers based on the mid 1960’s Ford GT40 race cars that won numerous races including multiple at Le Mans. Included in the intro are clips of the Ford GT40 Mark IV that won the 1967 La Mans, which was the main theme to the story and movie 'Ford v Ferrari' that came out in 2019 staring Matt Damon, playing the roll of Carroll Shelby, and driver Ken Miles played by Christian Bale. Michael highlights many steps of leather crafting these twin Alligator Watch Straps that he normally doesn't show, from the use of his Regad Machine, the leather hand saddle stitching of the components, and the leather edge work... Thanks for the order Rob!

    Love your videos! You are an excellent guy. I can't wait until you start making curved end straps. Then you will join your place amongst the truly great strap makers!

    Thanks Bill! I’ve done curved ends for guys who’ve sent me the watch, but it’s a real pain in the butt. Plus it takes so much more time to do it right and I’m already flooded with orders. For now, I’ll leave it to the guys who specialize in that… MK

    Wow. Incredible show. Perfect straps for a cool watch and car. The straps will last forever. No need for identical straps. Would have been cool if he ordered another color. Thanks for sharing

    Alligator on a tool watch? That's like wearing a tuxedo and Nike sneakers. For people who have more money than taste.
