Custom Watch Straps in Canada: Super Green!

Why drop some Ruby Rod references? Because he’s awesome and I found a local custom strap guy here in YVR called “VGreen Watchstraps”

Now I’ve finally got the seldom seen Blue Gkacier SLGA017 on a strap that can match its glossy personality 😍

(gloss mode: activate!)

Stingray is stunning 🤩. Btw - I requested no taper, if it looks odd that’s on me

Also am toying around with putting my GS Sakura 413 on something that is level 11 Sakura 😃

The custom leatherwork is quite reasonable, I so will spring for something similar. I’d like a bit more white in design but will stick with same punch in the face pink, as it seemed to really bring out the pink in the dial.

Anyway - for Canucks - ordering from Canada means no insane extra duty or “customs brokerage” charges (that can exceed cost of the item you order).

For Americans - our currency is pesos and you pay nothing to import vast amounts of goods , so it might interest you as well. But you already have so many great options it may not.

One Other tidbit of info : I tried an “omega clasp” that the owner recommended to me. It required a special strap design, but sadly didn’t work for my ~15cm wrists very well. It’s a brilliant but not great with micro wrists.

This is the happy start of me having way too many straps.

Wow all straps are just amazing 🤩🤩🤩

I know right?

And 115 Canadian for Stingray blew my mind. And it looked better than I thought it would in person!

Quite a shimmer to the ‘scales’, and gives my watch the nautical vibe I felt it needed 😉

Yes, living my best peacock life. Not for everyone, but I'm nutty.

They make regular straps as well but I'm a blue stingray and camo snakeskin kinda guy. 🕺

I think I really need to invest in some of these (another rabbit hole coming up😁)

Them is some fantabulous strap colors! You're a bold soul, love it. Not sure if I can rock a pink strap, but I do love the coral Oris Pro Pilot X!

That pro pilot pink has my eye as well - bright, bold and Ti is speaking my language.

I still prize legibility (most of the time) and wasn’t so sure those painted indices had enough contrast. Goofy me loves Kermit as well 😉

Yup, David is great 👍

Heads up, I think he’s starting on a Xmas break sometime next week.

I’ll be ordering a few more custom straps from him in the new year. All my watches with flakey 19 and 21mm lugs will have options!

Also, I’ve got some pre sale watches coming soon that I need crazy new straps for 😂!
