So... there's this guy who shaves his head, he's very passionate about Panerai, he enjoys Indian food, he smokes, he drinks beer and he almost goes home with the wrong watch on his wrist after an evening of hanging out in Amsterdam... Nope, it isn't me :) Enough with the insider jokes. I've been wearing my French ammo strap from Septimus straps more than any other strap I've ever owned since I received it last August. I just love that strap. So when I got a 360, I asked Fran to make me another strap from the same leather. With a black pre-V style buckle of course. I knew to not really expect the exact same leather. None of the ammo pouches are 100% alike. But I was hoping that he could find a piece of leather with the same characteristics. I had to wait a bit because the buckles weren't available, but as I expected - it was definitely worth the wait.
French ammo and a 10 MTP by Septimus straps
To my surprise the package contained another strap. I received the lighter strap in the above photo as a gift. It is made from 10 MTP leather, according to Fran the best leather one can find in France. Thanks again guys! It's very much appreciated. I took a bunch of photos of both straps last weekend. Both are truly amazing and I haven't been able to make up my mind about which one I like best.
First a few pictures of the darker tan French ammo.
And here are a few photos of the lighter 10 MTP strap.
And another one of both straps together.
And since this post is about the PAM360 too, I may as well post these close ups that I took yesterday.
