Straps - Quality & craftsmanship …

Most recently Veblinist is quality. But especially impressed with DeLugs, currently on my JLC for quality , attention to detail, value, size accuracy, fitment and customer service . Trying Molequin for the first time, and that one should arrive next week, so we’ll see!...

Canvas from Yusk straps. Yusuke primarily caters for Panerai enthusiasts but I think it suits the BBB pretty well. I have two l have been very impressed with. His custom handwork is, I think, superb. I am currently deciding on whether I need a third canvas.
