Good handcraft works. Other than calf leather, do you make other leather such as python, alligator, sharkie etc. by any  chance?

Hi, nice job sir. Did U custom made your own watch box too?? I've found that it's quite difficult to find watch box for big size watch in the market. Any recommend?

Hi,

Yes. but limited. Currently I have sting ray, caiman and phyton.

Caiman - black. The leather left enough for 1 strap only. The strap in the photo is 20mm 105/80.

Phyton - available in tan, dark brown and flat black

Sting ray - black only
