Ordered up some custom straps from Colareb.
I’ll punch a single hole and I hope that will be it.

For some reason this isn't the content I thought it was going to be.
Same here, although I'd expect that to be in the Boy's Room.Quote:

I specifically ordered them that way, custom order. I wanted to just have the one hole I need.Quote:

Love the idea though - what watch is it for?
I could make an educated guess!Quote:

I will only punch one hole in one strap and see how I go ...

Montello - Bon chance.
One hole to rule them all, one hole to hold them
One hole to bring them all, and in the forum told them;
In the Land of TZ where the watches vie.
And may stretch over time.Quote:

I’m copying the hole position off the identical old strap.Quote:

Jobs done.
Looks great to me. Feels a bit snug which is what I wanted/expected as it will soften and bed in a bit.

Thats a great way to do it.
Really thought this was going to be about an ex-wife 😉😁
I would have zero confidence in me putting the whole in exactly the right place
Having used an identical strap for a year I just copied the hole that I’d settled on.Quote:

Looks odd “off the wrist”, but looks great on the wrist.
Chapeau
That does look cool. I'd defo get it wrong though if it were me!

It was easy to get the correct location using the old strap as a guide.Quote:

I really like it, kind of minimalist / made to measure.
Won’t you end up needing a summer hole and a winter hole? Or is it just me that has swelled wrists!
I don’t think I will need another hole, time will tell. But if I do I can simply punch another.Quote:

I like that. A while back I (briefly) considered doing the same, but never got around to it.
That looks great.
Wouldn't work for me as ive got summer and winter wrists :(
