I've just compared it to Toshi's orange thread and it looks identical to me.

The more I look at it, the more I like it!

Oh, that does look nice.

The orange is well attached too - must have been my monitor previously :lol:

Can't wait to see it on the wrist.

That photo looks familiar.

I received this pic from Steveo a day or so ago:-

I ordered after Steveo straps were mentioned by Richard. As you can see I went for the Red Skin strap (black leather, red stitching) to stick on my SMP chrono. Hoping the red stitching would go well with the red details in the SMP chrono dial.

I've received the strap today. And have to say I'm chuffed. It's excellent quality for the price. I've put it on the watch and it looks great. I'll post pics at some point.

So thanks Ruchard B. Hope you like yours as much as I like mine.

Excellent - that's great to see another piece of Steveo craftsmanship!

I look forward to seeing your pictures.

In turn I need to thank this forum for suggesting Steveo - it was probably Guy or Robin I think.

And now I've changed the buckle for something a little bit more substantial...

Really like that! The whole thing just works. Also proves that leather on a diver works.

Thanks guys.

I'm really pleased with this strap, and I'm completely amazed at how comfortable it is. It's a very soft leather and won't need any breaking in at all.

Your C60 looks mighty fine on that Steveo strap :thumbup:

So here's a pic of mine on its new Steve Strap

Like you, I'm really impressed with the quality and the suppleness of the leather used by Steveo. I also like the little touches such as the wrapping. Makes it feel rather special and worth way more than I paid. Excellent service and a great product. I definitely recommend Steveo.
