ATG Forums

 

The idea of forums is for people to meet discuss and share ideas about watches, old new, blue, green anything! The site is largely for chronograph enthusiasts, but that does not mean that you cannot post about other types of watches just as long as they are interesting in their own way. Discuss ‘Off topic’ subjects not relating to the watch world and post your pictures too See Forum Guide for advice.

Ok, 2nd samples have come back and I have made some slight changes.

Things were getting out of hand in terms of selection so I have narrowed the manufacture to 3 different waterproff straps and two perforated straps.

they are absolutely brilliant but I must keep my eye on the ball as this is when it gets crucial.

here are the shots:

I am looking at 20 mm x 18 mm for all straps except for Diver 2 with the knitted 'Cordura' finish, this will be 22mm x 18mm

Lengths will be 85 mm x 115 mm.

I am also going with one 'large' brushed steel buckle as the others were just too fiddly and were not reobust enough.

Have a look and let me know what you think?

cheers!

Alistair

Alistair, have you ever thought of engraving/etching your buckles with your logo?

Ah, just read the buckle post.....must do my homework before asking questions!

Hi Alistair,
great news !

Personally I would prefer the perforated strap in dark brown in addition to the honey one.

Please let me know if you plan to have this colour available.

Engi,

Get on the ATG Newsletter and you will get an email.

I will have limited numbers as this is a new venture and they will not, as I have said be priced the same as my previous straps but they will be good.

Cheers!

Alistair

The most contact I have had has been for that strap in 22 mm do I get any credit at all?

Does that mean you want to pre order one ? I am only producing 10.

I'd be interested to pre-order a a Diver 2 in 24/26mm. Maybe also in 22mm. Would like to see it on my Marathon CSAR.

Well if I can get everyone interested enough I can make a pre order but the tooling is very expensive, up to £600 a strap.

At the moment I will go all black on the Marine 3 22mm, go 22mm on the Marine 1 and maybe 22mm on Marine 2 but without confirmed orders I must wait.... sorry.

Alistair,
Is the black 20mm perforated with the black threads still available as seen here http://www.atgvintagewatches.com/Watches/tabid/73/Default.aspx?strapId=70

Does anyone sell these in Canada or the US? By the time I receive a package from the UK to Canada there are many extra costs for duty, pst gst and other mail charges that increase the initial cost. BTW, what is the lengths of the bands? One side without the buckle plus the other side. Is a long available if so what are both lengths?

Regards
Mark

Alistair, your straps are winners. I particularly like that cordura one. Any chance you could do one with orange threads to match my DOXA 750T Pro? :p
