Have to give props to Jeanna – stonecreekstraps.com. Here is the custom gator rally strap she made for one of my Chopard Milla Miglia’s – (silver dial). Notice the rolled edges.

All for about $200 and made to the precise specs (except I requested thicker than the calf) of a Chopard short strap to fit the deployment I have.

Very nice shark!! I like the rolled edges and the rally holes. Is that for the Mille Miglia?

That is very cool. Looks like it will suit the Mille Miglia perfectly.

That's an interesting looking strap Tom. I think I need to see it on your wrist...

It would if it were a 22mm. This one is 21mm to fit the Chopard.

Could you PM me contact info?

I really want a non-rubber option for the SOH, but am not sold on the mesh. Going OEM would be fine but I dont think the white stitching fits. I am thinking a high shine gator or crocco would fit nicely.

Well, that ultimately lead me to find Jeanna, so it only kinda sucks - worked out pretty well.

On the Watch it was intended for –

That looks really nice Shark...I love how the holes in the strap line up with the subdials.

The MM is supposed to either be on the rubber tire tread ("Dunlop) or the calf rally strap. I thought this one needed a bit more than the typical thin black calf strap. But it is cut precisely to the dimension of Chopard strap.

I may try a bit of the secret ingredient rub Driver8 uses - darken it a bit. But I'm leery of completely messing it up.

To our British mod - any old extra virgin variety?
