Welcome to the 21st century. Every design has its lovers and haters. So what’s different? Just look at the NATO we all know and see the difference.

The wire wrapping closure is a deal breaker. Just ugly, imho.

Agreed,looks bit home made to me too.

Would thread be a better option for you? I can do that too in the future. The design of the strap allows for a smaller buckle too. The g hook buckle is movable and adjustable for a perfect fit to every wrist shape and size. Beautiful leather huh?

Yes. If the wire was done tight and smooth, it would be OK. However, the original post had a kink in one loop and the loops were not that tight. Not up to a jewelry level, imho. Wire tieing is fine as long it is done well. 😀
