Why buy from Rusty Straps?
All straps are 100% handmade and customizable in different sizes, stitch style (open, box closed, stitchless), stitch color (red, black, white, tan, ecru color), and keeper (1 big floating keeper or 2 keepers, 1 fixed and 1 floating). Buckles are optional accessories. I am a watch aficionado in heart, I own many watches so with Rusty Straps, all your straps will be personally made to fit your watch as all straps will be measured to ensure fitment and comfort as nice (if not better) than OEMs. I have been in the strap making business for over 2 years now, so buy with confidence.  I am located in California, USA.

Each purchase of Rusty Straps comes with a watch box that can fit a big watch comfortably. As shown below, Panerai 372, which has 47 mm case, fits the box comfortably. This box can also fit up to 4 straps and a screw driver as well.

There are two models in the ammo pouch series, the Vintage series and the Mark 8 series


The Mark 8 series is shown below. The strap has a distinct stitch style as the leather is cut from the loop belt joint portion of the ammo pouch. Since French Ammo Pouch only has two belt loops, so one ammo pouch can only produce two Mark 8 straps, therefore the quantities produced is limited by the ammo pouch availability. Its style uniqueness ensure that there are no two straps alike.

Currently available in Ready Stock size 26/26 125/75 with 4 mm thickness.

More closeup on this strap.



The Vintage Series is shown below. This strap brings out that vintage looks you are craving for from your watch. This strap reflects the ammo pouch characteristics, the patina'd colored leather and its battle scar over time.  Both Ready Stock in size 26/26 and 24/24 125/75 are currently sold out.

Description:
Rusty Strap most popular strap offering is in the form of Stingray strap. Stingray leather has become a new fashion statement trend in the world leather market. Stingray leather is very durable and its unique beauty is highlighted by the shiny pebbly texture of the skin, along with a one-of-a-kind design feature - the bony remnant of the dorsal fin that resembles a tiny cluster of "pearls". It brings a touch of class and peerless style to your accessories.

There are currently 2 stingray models that are in offering. Basic Stingray Strap is the plain stingray without the big white pearl. Crown Stingray is a full pearl stingray straps, very nice strap and it is best ordered with one custom hole per your request or no holes at all if you like to punch it yourself as many holes will ruined the pearl of the watch.

Due to the nature of stingray leather hide texture that has tiny pebble, stingray strap is a bit stiffer than lizard, python, and calf strap. Please be aware that this is normal. This is not a reflection of my work, instead it is how it is, the nature of the stingray skin.  If you have both my lizard/python/calf and my stingray, you will notice the difference in stiffness and all because of stingray leather as the same calf leather backing is used for all Rusty Straps and the same craftmanship is applied to both straps.

Color:
Rusty Straps is offering 8 different colors: black, blue, baby blue, brown, grey, green, maroon red, red. Below are just samples on how the color would look like on a strap.

Please refer to the order page section on how to order your custom made strap. No promotional price on stingray strap.
