Nick, hope all is well. I sent a couple e-mails over the past few months regarding an order I made back in September 2022 and just wanted to see if you were receiving them. My order was about 5 months ago at the time of this writing. Thanks!
Hey! Exciting stuff! And you came to the right place. But I would need a few more details for context: What size strap does your watch take (width in mm)? Does it have removable spring bars? Are you looking for a more casual use or hard use strap? Let me know!
As for the type of band I want, I want one that is sturdy and lasts for a very long time since I am probably going to wear it everywhere. I'm actually considering getting two so that I can wear one casually (gym, school, activities) and another for important events (meetings, formal events). I do want both to be very sturdy and comfortable though, since I am just going to be using these bands for as long as they hold out.
@@eyot.9246 Cool piece! Given your requirements, I would definitely recommend building a strap from my latest PRO series elastics here: nickmankeydesigns.com/shop/hook-strap-pro-stainless-steel-elastic-watch-band OD Green would look incredible! And black would be a safe, all-rounder choice for meetings and such :)
Damn, I hoping you’d be out there so I could just cop one over there. All good though. How would it work if i ordered in store? (is it the same wait as online?)
@@eyot.9246 This is still an early concept, but I'm planning to offer in-house, on-the-spot strap tailoring! So I would take your measurements and build specs and make it right then and there!
Sounds cool. Personally I’d prefer just going to the store instead but that would definitely be awesome to see it get built in front of me. Is it just you doing all the tailoring and making the bands?
@@eyot.9246 It would be me performing the tailoring indeed. It's always been just me running the show from top to bottom! Only recently did I hire my first employee :)
@@nickmankeydesigns Sorry, but I work hard enough already. The last thing I want is to have to work harder for a watch strap change! In a world of quick release straps you are moving in the wrong direction. 😂
@@rfern263 If you're referring to the Tether piece, it is completely optional. Otherwise, the Fixed Bar strap you see in the video can literally be installed like a single pass nato, no tools required!

Got it! Email sent.
Tether what advantage????
What is the point of the tether? What does safety on mean?
I demonstrate near the end of the video that when a spring bar fails (or ejects), the strap will remain "tethered" to your wrist.
How can we follow up on an order. I ordered 4 months ago, and haven't received it yet. Is there a number to contact with?
Hey there! Have you tried the contact page on my website?
Can you give me a recommendation of which strap I should get? I just recently purchased a watch and this is the first time I've ordered a watch strap.

@@nickmankeydesigns I believe it is 18mm and that the spring bars are removable. I have the Citizen Eco Drive Weekender Garrison Field Watch.

@@nickmankeydesigns what would you recommend for the hardware?
Do you have a shop in San Francisco or is it just online?
I wish I did! My shop is located in Hanford, California at this time. Let me know if you're ever in the area though!

Seriously? What a pain in the arse! 😂
It only seems that way! Once you've done it a single time, you've mastered it and really no biggie. Besides, that little bit of insurance is worth it!
