Custom straps
« on: June 14, 2012, 08:18:58 PM »
OK, I know this have been asked many times before, but I have never participated in any coz I wasn't looking for any... until now.
I am currently looking for custom made straps that can accept a genuine rolex deployant (to match with the custom etur endlinks)
I know they are plenty who make for pams... I asked around and none made custom straps to fit rolex deployant.
Anyone here that can point me to the right direction is deeply appreciated. :Cheers:

Ordered one thru Cheergiant and George is a nice person to deal with.
Loads of choices on their photobucket page.

Just give him your measurements and he can work on it.

Handled Terrence's strap from them and quality is good for the price. USD70.

Mine is still on the way and i will post pics when i have it on my watch.

Hobbit did a report on them not too long ago.

FYI, Peter Gunny does not make straps that take Rolex Deployants.

Update: Just made an order of 2 straps from Cheergiant on trial.
Let's see how it goes.

They did a good job from what i can see in the pics...
All i did was sent him an e-mail with the necessary measurements and just hoping that he understand what i was talking about... From the pics, i guess he understood every word...
Impressive!!

And maybe we can drop by on december? Hehehe

Pete,
George did mention it will take longer to make the straps as it is not any run of the mill strap.
It's difficult to make straps for deployants, moreso rolex deployants... So, between me and him... It's on trial and error.
He did gimme a special price for the trial and error "spirit" which i am pretty happy about.
All he ask for in return is i email him the 1st pictures when i have them mounted.  ;D
