Anyone know a good leather shop which can do high quality work such as putting additional holes in a Breitling band? |

if you are looking to punch another hole in your strap, your AD should be able to do this for you. |

you can buy a 1 or 2mm pair of hole punch pliers for next to nothing. My AD gave me a pair. I use the 1mm since I use after market bifold deploys on my short tang buckle Breitling straps. The pin on the deploy is pretty thin and a 1mm punch allows me to put a hole between existing holes for a comfort fit without messing with the integrity of the strap. The same hole works fine if I change to a tang buckle - but I rarely do. It takes....oh...IDK...10 seconds!

I was under the impression that you use a screwdriver The Panerai strap was an entirely different matter BUTT HEAD.  Seriuosly had to accomodate a POS after market Pnaerai deploy for a non-deploy strap! They don't make tools for that. And that's why you got the brand new one thrown in.
