Re: S.I.C: Local Strap Maker at A Friendly Price
Have not ordered from him yet. But communicated with him via whatsapp. Prompt response. Currently only have pre-v buckles.
Re: S.I.C: Local Strap Maker at A Friendly Price
the Vintage series is nice.



Might try him if needs any customisation straps :mrgreen:
Re: S.I.C: Local Strap Maker at A Friendly Price
Yup VFM and can custom somemore. Good for small wrists like mine. Probably you can try to convince him to get normal buckles.
Re: S.I.C: Local Strap Maker at A Friendly Price

Re: S.I.C: Local Strap Maker at A Friendly Price

Re: S.I.C: Local Strap Maker at A Friendly Price

Hi. I'm the guy behind Made Co. Just a full time student with really shallow pockets to satisfy myself with so many watches and straps that I like and couldn't afford.

I have mostly affordables: Seiko, Casio, Vostok, a couple of cheap Chinese watches that I modded with Raffles Time parts and FCUK(bought before all these . But recently sold all but two.



Here they are



Did I mention I'm a strap whore as well heheh

Used to lurk around here because I have no idea how to post an image. Well I know now. Thanks Lunarin79 for heads up !

Hey, Marc. I'm in to you. I meant to your products, the straps. (jeez that doesn't sound right the second time I read it :), especially the vintage stich. Those types at Hodinkee cost a fortune. Will be in touch.



Whoever started this thread, my sincere thanks.

Yes they are costly. Just think SNPR and Bas & Lokes.

Why did you think I start making my own straps? Hahah



Met the OP at K2 on Tuesday when I bought my 007. Nice guy ~

19mm yes. Dressier, depend on whats your definition. I'm not a machine so yea, there might human error here and there and not as perfectly made like those mass manufactured.
Re: S.I.C: Local Strap Maker at A Friendly Price

Just looking for a 19mm strap that tapers to 18mm at the buckle and that takes standard diameter spring bars. With non contrast stitching..

Most of the stuff I find sold in shops here in 19mm are crap.
Re: S.I.C: Local Strap Maker at A Friendly Price
Hi Marc,



I have the same requirements too (19mm which tapers to 18mm deployment clasp) - a dressy black or dark blue is fine. Please let me know if you can do this? Happy to support your straps!
