Forgot to mention How comfortable the watch has become thanks to your band, it runs rings around the original.
Thanks again,"

"Hi guys,
My straps arrived today! I tried to make a decent picture (see annex). 2 new Bas&Lokes straps have happily joined their brethren ....    ;-) Between the B&R 03-92 and Panerai 359 (which are already on your site ; thank you for the kind comments there) is my Longines Legend Diver and my Breitling Coral (nono, it is not orange  ;-)  ) Superocean. Once again a great job. Certainly the Longines is upgraded with the new
strap.
Cheers
Philip, Belgium" (Conrad Handmade Watch Strap, Atlas Handmade Watch Strap, Jones and Battalion Handmade Watch Straps)

"Dear Bas:

Thanks so much for the strap--it looks wonderful and the attention to detail is superb.  Here are some pictures.  I hope that they are satisfactory and can help you get more customers.  I will definitely order more straps in the future.  (The watch is a Hamilton Khaki Officer Auto)

Thanks, "

"Bas,

I just wanted you to know that I’ve received my strap and that I am thrilled with it.  The fit is perfect and the quality and finish are superb.  I’ve included a couple of pics but they just don’t do the strap justice.  I am off to Florida for a week as of tomorrow and I’ll try and get some better shots while I am there.  I’ll send you a few more when I get back.

All the best from the great white north!"

M.L., USA 

  

"Recieved the strap on Friday and am very impressed fits my Hamilton Khaki perfectly, has really changed the whole look and feel of the watch.
Thanks again for the buckle and excellent service I hope to purchase another strap from you in the future for my Planet Ocean."

Daryl, USA (Brooklyn Handmade Strap) 

"Hey Lads

I got my strap about a week ago and I am loving it.  You got some compliments at the store where I had it put on.  Ill send a pic by the end of this weekend of it on my Baume and Mercier Capeland S.
Keep up the good work, "
Jonathan, USA
 
"Just got it - its gorgeous, brother :) Thanks - even your packaging is quite polished; look forward to getting another"
B.C., USA (One of a Kind Custom Strap)

"Hello again, This strap just arrived. It looks and fits really great. I put it on my Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date, this watch is 19mm between the lugs. I have a very nice stainless steel bracelet that came with this watch, but I don't like. I live in Thailand where it gets very hot, so sometimes when I'm out and about I take the watch off and use it as a pocket watch. And then when I'm in a 'shady part of town' also as a pocket watch. Thanks and Regards," 

W.G., Thailand (Castro Strap)

"Hi Bas,
Hope your holidays went well. Just wanted you to know that I got the strap like 2 weeks ago and it was perfect!!! He tried it on, loved the leather and the look of it and it fit him great... Again thank you soooo much for the great customer service and for a great quality watch strap."
K.D., USA (Warmoose Strap)

"Bas-

Hope life is treating you well.  The Oxford strap you made me...exquisite. Tapering is just perfect too.  So thanks for that."

"Hello Bas
 Just want to send you a big thankyou! I'm very happy with the way the strap has turned out - it's simply awesome. I bought the strap entirely for my own comfort, but It's a bit funny when people are talking to you, but unintentionally looking at your watch and strap while doing so.... 
Have a nice day and great weekend
Greetings from Denmark"

"Hi Bas,
Good news -- the straps arrived yesterday! They are beautiful! I love them both but especially the Warmoose. I realize now that I should have bought both straps that had stitching, as I see now that I sort of prefer that feature, but my problem, not yours. Thank you! I will send pictures once I have some.
Thanks again,"
P.D., USA (Warmoose and Militare Straps)


"Hi Bas,

Cheers"
D.C,, Singapore (Comrade Strap)


"Hi Bas,
My straps arrived today and they are both absolutely, positively wonderful...I couldn't help myself and had to put a new one on the Panerai tonight.
Although my photo's of the Vintage and Batallion don't do either strap justice, I thought I would send these pics through anyway so you can at least see what the finished product looked like. 
Ill try get someone with a better camera (than my $200 Lumix) to take nicer ones at some stage (including one with the Whiskey strap), but for now i think you will at least get the general idea. 
Thank you again for your generosity, outstanding service and for producing such a great product !!!!
Kind Regards"
A.S., Australia (Battalion, Whiskey and Vintage Straps)

 
"I got the Warmoose last week and it looks great! I'll get some pictures taken of it this week and I'll send you a few... Thank you so much Bas.  You take customer service to unheard of levels."

"I have been loving every second of it on my wrist. You did make something very special in my opinion... you would honestly have to rip the strap off my dead body before you got it back."

"I received the strap today. It's as nice as I was expecting.

Just wanted to let you know that I received the strap and it looks damn good!  Gives the watch a very different character - much tougher - which is a good thing.  If I can get the camera set up I will send you a pic.  Thanks again!"

Thank you for the express shipment, I have received the strap today. I absolutely love the strap, I'm surprised how soft it is and how nicely it makes my watch sit on my wrist. Very nicely made.

"Bas,  Received 'The Sergeant' on Monday 5/21/10(tuesday NSW time).  Absolutely stunning !!!  Once again, I am blown away by the quality of workmanship and the artistry shown in this piece.  Guess thats why I am a repeat customer.  Tell Lokes he did a great job(heehee)  You two blokes are great craftsmen besides being fine gentlemen.  Your added surprise was a fine gesture, much appreciated.  See your latest catalog includes this piece.  Will talk with you again, stay well.

 Just to let you know that I received the straps and liked them so much that I have ordered 2 more. 
 BTW I have also shown your bands to some of my friends so you may get some more local orders."
M.K., AUstralia (Vintage Strap)


"Here are a couple of photos I just took.  Sorry, I'm pretty terrible at taking pictures.  Hope you can use them.
Again, thanks for this gorgeous strap.  I think it's become my new favourite.  It feels amazing on my wrist, sturdy but supple.  And the waxy yet grainy texture of the leather is awesome.  Love the wide sleeper too.  I'm blown away by the quality of your workmanship and the quality of the leather.  You guys are really talented!  Can you tell I love the strap?  :-)   
 
Your level of service is top-notch too - great communication, fast turnaround (6 working days!), lovely packaging, your stamp on the back of the strap - all these nice little touches add up.  I would certainly not hesitate to buy another one of your straps and will probably do so again in the near future.
 
Best Regards,"
F.L, Australia (Templar Strap)

In the meantime, I'm enjoying the watch and strap!"
