‘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
