Martu Straps

Post by StrappedUp »

Thought I'd create a "Martu" thread seen as though there are a couple already on the forum and a fair few incoming.
Perhaps we could add any Martu straps to this for ref.

My Martu "Bumpy" arrived this morning ~5 weeks after ordering.

Pleased with the way it looks on my Alpina.

My only gripe is that the keeper is rather bulky for an 18mm strap, so I may see if it can be chopped down a bit.

Here's a few shots ...

so impressed with the quality of this 'slim hand brown leather vintage strap' - fantastic price too.

Lovely straps there, the bumpy goes well with the Alpina, agree the keeper is a bit wide though.

Similarly the vintage looks very nice. I think a brown vintage is one of the most versatile straps you can get, it goes well with so many watches from a Black Bay to....a Tissot Seastar :D

^^^ Looks really good. Surely cemented it's position as the "one watch" now!

Although if that strap is 20mm, I bet it'd look damn fine on the Sarb :thumbup:

Looks great Ryan. :thumbup: :clap:

I wonder if they do a bumpy with green stitching?

Better go and take a look.

:lol: yes - i think it would also look stunninng on the SARB; however, as you say, it has just cemented the tissot's position as 'one watch' - couldn't be more happy with this strap.
btw - i love the bumpy strap too - very unusual and totally funky 8)

If she has green thread, she'll most certainly do it.

This combo wasn't on the site, they had black w/red stitching and brown w/orange stitching so I emailed and asked if she could do black/orange ... not a problem :thumbup:

I reckon it'd look superb on the protochrono w/lime stitching :D

Here's one of mine, been wearing it most of the day. Very comfy for such a thick strap - far, far superior to the CW Pilot strap I had on the C11 a while ago and under half the price of that one. I'll buy from Martu again...... as long as I'm not in a rush :)

I shall indeed!

Out of interest, did you manage to chop down the keeper? A couple of mine have the wide keeper.
