Title: Longines Heritage 1935 (Cezh Pilot) with another DIY strap (yes again XDD)
Post by: chiewata on December 14, 2015, 11:49:09 AM
Recently acquired some new water base and antique dye, at the same time was introduced to a new type of ramie thread so itchy hand I made another strap for my Heritage 1935.

So below are a series of photos I took with Panny GM5 + a modified Yashinon 38mm f/1.4 cine lens that I recently acquired.

Definitely,  the bonding between me and my watches are much stronger besides by matching the straps with the watch and its history will further enhanced the aesthetic of it,  a very different feel

I will pay for a strap workshop in KL, (not so expensive la). I want to see demonstration and explanation of the tools in person.

Look at the pinned post by Chris its quite good overview then the rest just watch Youtube for tools just order it from eBay will do.

But if I am not mistaken there are many classes on leather works available now in KL.

Anyway now so many people do it so getting raw materials n tools is not that difficult online,  anyway those shops in KL that I used to buy my tools n materials those days all close already as leather industry in M'sia is dying and many of these shop owners are seniors.

Loved those early days when I learned it entirely via online n books that I got online and then went to all these old shops and talk to them to learn the skills bit by bit.

Ya, but it will be easier and more interactive to learn it by hand.
