Price:
Retail Price is US$145 shipped within USA. Promotional price to introduce my ammo strap is US$130 shipped.

Description:
Below is the actual straps that are available in stock ready to ship. These straps are made from vintage French Ammo Pouch. The strap is very supple, guaranteed will fit your wrist comfortably, unlike others ammo straps that are stiff, these are soft, flexible, and yet strong and durable with its 4 mm thickness, perfect for your Panerai or other watches that have 24 or 26 mm lug width.

There are two models in the ammo pouch series, the Vintage series and the Mark 8 series

The Mark 8 series is shown below. The strap has a distinct stitch style as the leather is cut from the loop belt joint portion of the ammo pouch. Since French Ammo Pouch only has two belt loops, so one ammo pouch can only produce two Mark 8 straps, therefore the quantities produced is limited by the ammo pouch availability. Its style uniqueness ensure that there are no two straps alike.

Currently available in Ready Stock size 26/26 125/75 with 4 mm thickness.

The Vintage Series is shown below. This strap brings out that vintage looks you are craving for from your watch. This strap reflects the ammo pouch characteristics, the patina'd colored leather and its battle scar over time. Both Ready Stock in size 26/26 and 24/24 125/75 are currently sold out.

Stingray Strap

Custom made and Ready Stock. Ready Stock is available in size 24/24 125/75. Please email at rustycollections@gmail.com for more information.

Price:
Basic Stingray - Retail price for Basic Stingray strap is US$110 shipped within USA. Promotional price is US$99 shipped within USA.

Crown Stingray - Retail price for Crown Stingray strap is US$130 shipped within USA. Promotional price is US$119 shipped within USA.

Description:
Rusty Strap most popular strap offering is in the form of Stingray strap. Stingray leather has become a new fashion statement trend in the world leather market. Stingray leather is very durable and its unique beauty is highlighted by the shiny pebbly texture of the skin, along with a one-of-a-kind design feature - the bony remnant of the dorsal fin that resembles a tiny cluster of "pearls". It brings a touch of class and peerless style to your accessories.

There are currently 2 stingray models that are in offering. Basic Stingray is the plain stingray without the big white pear. Crown Stingray is a full pearl stingray straps, very nice strap and it is best ordered with one custom hole per your request or no holes at all if you like to punch it yourself as many holes will ruined the pearl of the watch.

Due to the nature of stingray leather hide texture that has tiny pebble, stingray strap is stiffer than lizard, python, and calf strap. Please be aware that this is normal. This is not a reflection of my work, instead it is how it is, the nature of the skin. If you have both my lizard/python/calf and my stingray, you will notice the difference in stiffness and all because of stingray leather as the same craftmanship is applied to both straps.

Color:
Rusty Straps is offering 8 different colors: black, blue, baby blue, brown, grey, green, maroon red, red. Below are just samples on how the color would look like on a strap.

Thanks.
