FSOT: ATG Vintage Style Crcocdile Straps 20mm

ATG Vintage Watches
Vintage Style Crcocdile Strap 20mm

Colours available: Honey Dappled - Coal Black - Burgundy rouge - Please specify when buying.


NB: There is nothing quite like putting your watch on fitted with a Genuine Crocodile strap.

Price is £125.00 to Paypal - sales@atgvintagewatches - Registered Insured shipping is included anywhere in the world.

I have been developing straps for vintage watches for about 5 years, making racing straps for Heuer watches that just were not available then. This has led me on to develop my own straps working with the ATG ethos of style and quality. The strap is made from Genuine Crocodile from a Sites certificated source.

Again I have tried to offer what I would like and I hope you like them too! Specification The strap is 4.5 mm deep with a padded
side that is very comfortable and stylish. The crocodile is mat in finish but will polish up with wear showing its history....the dappled finish is irregular and no two straps will be exactly the same. The straps are made one at a time by hand in the old way and have that crafted feel to them. They are lined with a better quality leather than you would probably find most branded straps are actually made of....... The shoulders padding is stiff at first but soon becomes very soft and the height of the padding is  4.5mm.

I have fitted this strap to many vintage and modern watches and it never fails to look great and my customers always comment on the quality.Very Stylish

Dimensions: Dimensions: Slip side 100 mm - Buckle side 85 mm (leaving 85 mm from shoulder to last hole on the slip side)
Measurements Approximate I based the dimensions on the top end of the average European wrist size and then added a little.
Shoulders 20mm with a buckle width of 18mm.
The Buckle is solid stainless steel made and branded for me in Switzerland. I hope that the straps meet everyone's expectations of my kind of strapand that you find that it compliments your watch while being comfortable to wear.

This is the 'best quality' strap available in this style I guarantee and if you want to spruce up your £1000 + watch then this does the trick. Read the testimonials below from my satisfied customers. I am loading more straps over the next few days in 20mm and 18mm.

Regards

Alistair Gibbons

General ATG Testimonials
Highly recommended and a quick professional service. Thanks for the advice and the strap Alistair. This will look great on my Heuer Montreal.
I was after a decent leather strap for my Speedmaster and didn't want the standard Omega fair. Found ATG via Google, saw the strap I wanted, had a problem with the ordering but Alistair took the time actually phone me to resolve. Will defo order again - top product, great service and a refreshing customer care.

Bought a 1968 Heuer Autavia 30 from ATG in October 2006. Excellent watch, good communications and faultless service. This was my second watch from ATG; the first being a NOS 1969 Breitling Chrono-matic. Alistairs satndards then were the same as now - excellent. I've also had straps and the recent 19mm perforated provided the finishing touch to my Camaro.

I bought a vintage style racing strap for my Omega Speedmaster automatic (176.0012) from Alistair. The strap is great and I wear it more often then the original metal bracelet. The service also was great. Quick response on my mails and fast delivery.

Now I have a problem, a big one. I know I can buy the straps and watches I like, more than I can afford, and even with the best service in the World from Alistair! I have a real problem....Comunnication was superb, fast shipping and even the beginning of a great friendship....And it was only s strap!
Carlos from Canary Islands, Spain Postage & Packing

The strap is placed in a zip lock bag then into a padded envelope that is then taped shut. The strap is shipped Royal Mail in the UK and International Registered Mail to anywhere else.

NB: I have sold hundreds of straps in the last 5 years which have gone from the Uk to Japan, Thailand, Europe and all over the US and this is the best method and I only ship this way. The shipping for these Crocodile straps will always get through.....
