Hey Fuzzy! RGM on Iyonk

[iyonk]

Thank you for your kind words Henry... yes, one of the peace of mind is i know most of my strap receiver/purchaser already got prestine factory/high-end straps..
i do tried my best and spend time on each strap to make each of them personal..

one of the complementary factor for me are the appreciation of the receivers.. i've seen my strap on IWC,Rolex,Omega,Panerai, and so many high end watches to some affordable ones.. and the support are overwhelming... one of the factor that keep me presistance and continue with the straps projects..

a member make a special order for his Glasshute... one part if me so excited, and the other part keep telling myself to not mess-up..

Thank you guys ... thankfully you're all very understanding and supportive.. you're all AWESOME!

For a reminder here's what it looked like on the factory alligator strap.

On it's own, the RGM straps are beautiful and very well-made. However, they just don't fit the style of the watch, which is a shame. Their alligator straps are sourced from Camille Fournet (or at least they used to be) and they also offer some nice vintage style straps on the 801A. The one on the left is very nice in person.



The strap the Corps of Engineers watch comes on is very nice as well.

Thank you. I bought the cheapest fabric lightbox I could find, $40 ish, and I have a ring flourescent elbow lamp. I put the watch where I want it and then I move the light around until I get what I want and then shoot. I also underexpose everything by a stop or two. Or more.

I have a slightly more expensive light box. Maybe I should try a black background or a gray one. Then under expose like you suggest

Light does still bounce around in them and they can still be quite glarey. Underexposing does help quite a bit.

The CoE strap is fantastic.

2. It looks weird with the strap on the wrong ends.
3. I want a Iyonk strap.
4. Is it "L"yonk or "I"yonk?

And obviously, I'm late. Sorry, Henry.


Magnificent photography, as always, of a great combo. I like the watch, like the strap and like the final result...a lot!
Congratulations Henry and kudos to Iyonk for another great strap.

Cheers,
