This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use. Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

FS: Croc, gator, lizard pattern thick Aviator open-ended straps

Now available in several new styles and colors, including Alligator, Crocodile and Lizard Grain Leather patterns. Sizes available are 18mm, 20mm, 22mm and 24mm (with 2 screws at each end). Chronotrader/OTD customers save $10 per band over my EBAY prices. My popular AVIATORS pilot’s straps are custom-made for me in England, but shipped to you quickly from the United States at a fraction of the cost of buying from European suppliers.

With the ends that open and close with the screw fittings, Squinky's AVIATORS are the perfect solution for any fixed lug watch or a great vintage look on a chronograph watch that takes spring bars. AVIATORS are 6mm thick where they meet the watch and about 4mm thick at the tail end. The heavy-duty military type construction means that these straps can easily and safely carry even the heaviest of modern chronographs or big military style watches. The beefy buckles are stainless steel. Each strap has two strap hold-down keepers.

AVIATORS have two sandwiched layers of high-quality leather. Each AVIATOR strap is made in the United Kingdom to my specifications. These straps measure 8 inches to 8 1/4 inches (20.5cm-21cm) long when placed end to end, not counting the buckle, with the ends closed. Each band is embossed “AVIATOR” and stamped “ENGLISH MADE.”

The buckle end size is 18mm for the 18mm, 22mm and 24mm versions; the 20mm Aviators have 20mm buckle ends.

Here is a sampling of the new styles available. Please go to the AVIATOR section at www.Squinky.com to see many more pictures of each band and to research a specific size, texture and color you need.
