First time poster and long time lurker. I typically don't get involved in forums but I felt I ought to send out some props to John Glance of dangerous9straps. I've been wearing my 297 on the original bracelet for quite some time now and thought I'd change it up a little and contacted John about making me a strap. I told him to surprise me and what he made was an Antique French Oak stitched with Olive Linen and "stitched-out" by the lugs. It's truly beautiful and the craftsmanship is fantastic. Here are a few pics for which I must apologize in the quality.
