Re: ZVEZDA 'Type 18' + TAO 'Endurer' • Back from service

Funny thing, the vintage strap came initially on garage sale find,
and I didn't know it was a "open end" strap (I didn't know those even existed :-d )
These type of strap still can be found nowadays though :

I'm currently awaiting two perlons (one brown, one gray) in 16mm, that will be another good option :-!

Thanks RedFroggyI know all too well that nowday, pairing those narrow lugs with a decent leather is not easy . The latest «vintage» strap, not only is, IMO, the best out of all the opions you tried but also looks absolutly perfekt with your superb Vzezda. Congrats on your find Reno !!
