JLC: Custom order straps from the manufacture....

 

Hello all!

I noticed that many fellow PuristS are interested in giving their favorite JLC's a new look by putting on a new strap.  I find that certain colors with the right colored stitching really adds to the overall look and this detail makes a piece stand out. For me, the problem with non-OEM is that you can never find the perfect one ( too long, too short, curved end when you need straight, straight when you need curved, etc)  Also even though there are aftermarket makers out there it's always nice to have a factory one to go with the watch.

So what's the solution?  Well, I was recently at the JLC Boutique which stocked some unique factory straps that they had custom ordered in different materials and colors:

Since it's a factory product, the high quality is what you associate with manufacture JLC.

A sporty Sharkskin with deviated red stitching, awesome!

Grey Alligator with red stitching

A striking Blue Ostrich and white stitching

Here's something a little more bold, a Green Ostrich with color matched stitching

Of course you can get a regular Black Sharkskin with matching or deviated stitching:

Tough and rugged looking Grey, Blue, and Black Sharkskin.  What.......what's this?  A curved Black Leather with yellow stitching/yellow colored side and back accents ?  Cool!

This combo one really got my attention:

Hot pink on a JLC 101:

Dark choco-brown with a copper stitching, very cool how this one came out as it contrasts nicely to the rose gold!

Classic colors are nice too!

For those that like the high tech Carbon Fiber look:

   

Hope you enjoyed this and get the color combo you always wanted to match your favorite JLC!
