"I just put a blue strap you made me a while back for my Pelagos FXD onto my Explorer 2 Polar and it has transformed the watch..."
"Seriously the best watch strap on the market. Perfect mix between elasticity and security so it stays comfortable all day, no matter what you’re up to...
"The Hook strap "Pull to Eject" is a perfect accompaniment to any Aviation style watch. The custom stitching allows you to personalise your strap to your watch. It is a work of art."

“Put simply, it's the comfiest strap I've ever worn, on any watch I've ever owned... I have an Erika's, NATOs, an FKM rubber strap, but your Hook Strap is by far & away my go to strap for comfort"
"Only thanks to your hook strap can I now enjoy wearing my watch, and found my love for it again."
