The Pterodactyl has landed - not sure about Padj but I like it

May 25, 2017,09:30 AM
 

For some months now there have been strap dares around on PuristSPro. I suppose the ball got rolling with Arie fitting a camo strap onto his Lange 1815. We have long been waiting for his pink NATO, which finally arrived in Zagreb smile


And Padj has in his turn been daring me to go for a chicken leg leather one - codenamed Pterodactyl, since the two animals are remotely related wink 

And finally the strap arrived. So Bergeon tool at the ready, I got right to it. So here are the results. 



It looks somewhat different from the usual reptiles but it's nicely supple and I have to say I quite enjoy the look smile



So to all of you who have always wanted to take your wrist on a wild leather ride, I can only recommend it. It comes in stealthier colours like black and grey, too, btw. smile

So Padj, your turn wink

I like that strap - it's like an ostrich strap I adore

Now that you have prompted me, I might take a look in the strap drawer for something to spruce up my Presage collection ... ...  

Now that looks like a veritable Aladdin's treasure cove :)

Wow! Looking forward to seeing which one you'll choose for your Presage

And still not seen the 1815 on the pink NATO :)

Compared to Cazalea we are all amateurs. Be it Citroens, Grand Seikos, Seikos, model cars, straps... everything

The NATO is too thick for the 1815

Lange made sure that no pink NATO will be linked with it.

I would not make bold statements like this...

Or else the MPG gang will find one that fits

I'm sure they will [nt]

Cash flow, too

Not something to emulate, but as long as it's piling up faster than going out, I can sustain the pace

:)

We all have that issue to an extent, I guess

Wow - now that's a lot of straps.

I can barely think of the possible number of combinations you've got

The only thing is that watch makers use such diverse dimensions...

I have 18/16, 19/16, 20/14, 20/16, 20/18, 22/18 and 22/20 in my small collection and there are so many more... Which makes it a bit harder...

It looks great.

The color, the texture-everything about it. Of course, as Louis CK says: It always ends bad for the chicken.

Thanks, Padj :)

 
 By: KMII : May 25th, 2017-10:54
While you're right of course, I suppose it ended badly for that particular chicken a while ago... So, tempted? Or do you want to see it live first?

Might as well see it first.

I don't go to Paris until after rendezvousing with the chicken.

Perfect :)

 
 By: KMII : May 25th, 2017-22:26
Got some more surprises till the rendezvous

Thanks Alkiro! :)

 
 By: KMII : May 25th, 2017-22:25
Looking forward to accumulating more mileage on the chicken...

Excellent :-)

Best wishes Alkiro

Hey cool strap! [nt]

Thanks!

A wonder what one can make out of chicken leg leather

It's a fun way to enhance our hobby :)

 
 By: KMII : May 25th, 2017-23:52
And much cheaper than watches

And here's another shot :)
