Well, lately I liked the homage watch. A mix of obsession to have the original Panerai watches and my hobbies doing handwork. For those not familiar with the homage watches could be googling to find information about it. LOL
One of the "prestige" of homage watches are handmade strap and buckle, the average value passable (not friendly on the pocket). While there are local products with the same build quality and the price is relatively more "cheap", but still, I want to make it my own. Armed with the rest of the material that I got from my friends as well as references from the internet, I gather the intention to do it.
tools and materials:
1. stainless steel
2. drills, grinders, and saws
3. leather
4. bayklin and leather dyes
5. sewing thread and sewing tools
6. pomade
steps:
1. make the buckle from the stainless steel material, I do not want to explain at length. You simply open the following link. Tutorial from someone I follow -> http://www.indohomage.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4332
2. Cut the skin to the desired pattern, adjust the circumference of your hand. Bleaching using bayklin.
3. Wait until the skin is pale gray, then dry. Then re-dye using leather dye.
4. Sewing leather with buckle suit your imagination. Before doing the sewing process should you seal the threads with pomade for durability.
5. Enjoy the results
awesome
