My custom made straps






Some time ago I started with strapmaking. That was very hard to do and I wasted a lot of leather and time :) , but now I can say that my straps are well made, without mistakes .
I am using special leather wax for impregnate, so straps are very soft.

This really great thing to do Final Product by connecting leather, wax, glue and thread - just awesome feeling :)

Seiko 7a28-7040



Second shot of this month is Seiko Military Quartz Chronograph 7a28-7040. This is very interesting model with fully (15) jewelled quartz chronograph (no plastic parts!) with split second function. 40mm case is beadblasted, 100m water resist, with bi-directional diving bezel. Crystal is scratched, bezel also - but this is wabi, and I like it :) Really nice watch - actually my EDC.

Seiko Bellmatic 4006-7020





One month ago, I found this watch at internet auction. Seller's photos were very poor, and the watch was looking very crappy . When the watch arrived, I was shocked :) Great condition, like NOS 27j bell-matic with awesome dial! You can see wristshot of this watch compared to my other bellmatic.
