Dirk Pre-V straps (stock update)

Here's a Vero Squalo lineup:
L to R: Olive-Khaki, Brown (new) and Nubuck Dark Grey


First picture focuses on the Brown, here's the Vero Squalo Khaki:


We just added the Nubuck Gold Vero Squalo. We already offered the same leather in 2003/2004. Will look fancy when new, but allow it develop some patina and it will get a no-nonsense military appeal.


Remember the PAV 91?


That's the rarest PAV leather around - and we were able to purchase the remaining hides from the tannery!


We're still using the original tools & leathers for the straps that came with the 201/A, 202/A and 203/A in 1993-1994. The coined/minted 24mm 'Dirk' buckle is same size & shape as the 1993 originals and produced on the original minting presses. The coining/minting form not only provides the stamp, but also shapes the buckle with those soft-feeling rounded edges.





While stocks last, we're also offering the cheaper (- 10 Euro) 5218-2 and CF buckles in SS & PVD (which were already used between 2003-2006).
5218-2 24mm SS & PVD
5218-3 22mm SS
CF 24mm SS & PVD

Straps are only offered in the Pre-V style (without fixed keeper and with full-box stitching on both ends). We'll do these in 110/65mm, 115/70mm, 120/75mm, 125/80mm, 130/85mm, 135/90mm, 140/95mm, 145/100mm and 150/105mm. Straps come with a 2nd gliding keeper. That's normally a spare in case your first one wears out after 10+ years, although you can also mount and wear the straps with those 2 gliding keepers. Remember, the 5218-201/A, 5218-202/A and 5218-203/A came with straps with just a single keeper in 1993-1994. That's the original look!





We're still using the original stamps on the leather (PAV 91 prototype with beige stitching on the left)


Here's a list of all other historically correct colors:


L > R : Vero Cuoio Light Cognac, Vero Cuoio Dark Cognac, Vero Cuoio Tan, Vero Cuoio Light Brown


L > R: Vero Squalo Olive-Brown (old shade - no longer available), Vero Squalo Nubuk Dark Grey, Vero Cuoio Nero with black & beige stitching


L > R: Vacchetta Naturale, Vero Cuoio Legno, Vero Squalo Blu, Black Rubberized Calf


Semi-gloss Dark Brown with matching stitching

The below picture shows both Cognacs and the Tan on some 'restoration' jobs for fellow pre-V collectors of 5218-201/A & 5218-202/A and -203/A that send me their worn-out strap (or just the buckle). Notice the famous waffle pattern on the new leather, not a flaw, but part of the DNA of genuine pre-V straps since 1993...
