This time's "Black Shrunken Calf Leather Strap (MTO)" is also a wonderful piece, and I am very happy with it.
I also like the choice of gray for the stitching color, as it creates a great atmosphere.
A very well made strap, the blue is a perfect match for my Seiko, the stitching provides a perfect blend and the comfort is exceptional.
Purchased the Dark Brown Minerva 19mm leather strap. No break in period, soft and subtle from the get go. The contrast of the stitching against the brown leather gives it virtual interest. Paired nicely with my blue dial Seiko Monaco. You always know what you will get from Artisan Straps, this is one of many I have purchased.
