‘The StrapSmith’

 
 

Thank you for visiting my website and welcome.  You may know me from the forum as Rob-Montana and as the name suggests, I am from Montana!  I share your passion for Panerai/watches and have been completely hand building and stitching custom straps for over a year now.  This is a hobby that I love and spend a lot of time perfecting and searching out the right leather, threads etc...  I recently visited the Panerai manufacture site in Neuchatel  Switzerland, along with a few other fine brands, and the boutique in Florence.  This trip allowed me to visit a tannery just outside of Florence where I was able to purchase some excellent leather for my straps.  I also purchased some professional hand stitching thread.  In the photos to follow you will see examples of my work which include various leathers, different stitching designs and thread styles.  I custom build to your length, width, approx thickness, stitching style, hole placement and offer custom engraving on the buckle or strap.  I am also working with some wonderful vintage leathers from WW2 etc... If you have any questions or would like to order a custom strap please email me at :            ristirob@mac.com
