2 additional arrivals.......1 strap and 1 tool.

I have heard so much about Stone Creek Straps that I had to take a look for myself. Thanks William (watchdaddy)! I contacted Jeanna and had several discussions with her and then placed my order. I highly recommend Jeanna. She is a total professional and she is most definitely a great communicator and is very service oriented. Her work is impeccable and her packaging is a wonderful addition to the whole deal. I ordered a 22mm alligator with creme contrast stitching and rolled edges for my Omega PO. I also see that it will be a beaut on my Mido Baroncelli.















Now, I wanted to put the strap on the PO but I didn't want to mess up the lugs so I had to wait until a new tool arrived:






The pliers are wonderful and made the change from bracelet to strap easy and "mark" free. I just went slowly and had no slips or misses. A bit pricey for the tool but I can use it on several other watches as well so I feel it was worth it for me. I think the strap looks great on the PO and I will have to try it on the Baroncelli. What do you guys think?

Fancy strap...

Fancy tool...

Very nice!

Thinking this is REALLY GREAT John ! ..The service from Stone Creek, and Jeanna sounds
exceptional. While the strap itself is just as impressive sir. It's something to see how the
texture of it is. It's super classy, and that color is THE best. It genuinely looks like it was
made for your Omega, and probably your Mido as well ! ..You can feel the quality from
here to tell you the truth. The alligator, the stitching, and that CLASP are just excellent. This
is something to be VERY happy with John. Holy COW ! ..Then you have that neat tool there
to make everything easier on top of it all. Seems like it was well worth getting, because you
did a TERRIFIC job taking that bracelet off, and adding this super strap right here ! Congrats
to you on picking both of these up, and ..Enjoy !!!

P.S. That packaging is great too !

Super strap, tool, and pictures !

I need that tool, been wanting to put my seawolf on rubber or leather but don't want to dick up the lugs and it looks like a tough one to change out! Strap is cool and the packaging has a womens touch and is very sweet! Two great scores!!

I saw the strap. . .awesome.
As for that tool? OFF THE WRIST! Sweet!

Smokin Strap John.
That brown gator black dial combo is all class.
Don't have the heavy duty version but do use similar tweezer type.
Very handy.

Very Nice

Like Jeffery said you got the big dog pliers.

That Po looks Gorgeous, Congrats

Have you tried that tool to change leather straps or is it just to change bracelets?

Where could we pick up that nice tool? What is shipping time?

Have not tried them on a leather strap but I would think you would be better off using a springbar tool on one side at a time.

Thank you!
