It's a non-brainer.
When the watch is costing around 45k, why not to sacrifice some 0.5k to get two perfect straps.
It just takes some time & efforts.
Best, Kari
Good is good, perfect is much better.
But to achieve perfection, often requires some efforts. You might remember that some weeks ago I placed a strap to my 5960/1A and converted it to 5960/1. However, I used a conventional strap with straight ends which did not take into account the distance ...
I think you are right. The strap hugging the case will look refined
Good id good but Perfect is better. Waiting for the new pictures. Bill

I just need to charge the battery of my 6 hours old Leica Q and learn to use it. Best Kari
The curved strap
On a straight strap it looks "obvious" that the strap was originally a bracelet. Good ideas. Best Moritz
Thank you Count.
Yes, it was obvious and now the strap looks like made to the watch and the watch like it was designed to use this kind of strap. Best, Kari
You're a perfectionist Kari!
Good idea to get a strap that has some more forward material.
The more the straps comes close to the case, the better it is
As youare, I wouldn't stop trying until I feel it is perfect. The result will be awsome in the end. Thanks for sharing your "experiences" Kari! Cheers, Mark

I feel happy for you
These custom made straps are much better a fit indeed. The extended curved end will cover the extra gap and change the annoying 'after market' look! Congratulations!
Dude...
...these are *cool*. Usually I can call PP watches elegant, or maybe stylish, or refined. I don\'t think I\'ve ever called them \'cool\'. This 5960, like this, well...it\'s pretty darned cool. Congratulations! Best E.
You raised the bar .....Well done Kari.
I think the outcome will be factory like,You have beaten Patek Now I wish they made the same buckle in stainless steel....It would have been cheaper and more resistant to scratches and dents,I believe the buckle is on of the most parts of the watch that s...
Funny Ahmed...
But I will ask if they would make a special buckle from steel. However, I could bet on the result (no). At the same time Patek is sometimes a little bit unpredictable. I have asked this year some things one would expect to get a negative reply but I have ...
