My gf broke her somewhat complicated leather watchstrap, and would like a new version made.
It is beyond fixing, but anyone know of a leather worker in the city? Had a walk around Russian Market yesterday but didn't have any luck.
Thanks.

It doesn't look very complicated! I don't know about leather workers, but I can recommend the same shop I recommended to chuang on this site when he was looking for a Casio.
You can choose a leather strap and they will fix it on for you. On the corner of 110/13 streets, it's called Poly Optics and one part of the shop deals in watches, next door to its optician's. It's right next to Psaa Chas (sp?)
Disclaimer: I haven't been there for a few months, so I don't know if it's still there, but it was doing well and had(s) been in business for about ten years, so worth a try. Should only be a few dollars.

On street 19 , go south past Wat Botum , past st 264 and on the right is a leather worker who makes belts, bags,wallets , etc , give him a try and he does speak a little English, has croc and other skins too.
k440, something to do when you're pissed.

I know I'm unloveable. You don't have to tell me. I don't have much in my life, but take it - it's yours.

The guys who do the rum have a great old converted house not too far from Aeon mall. When i visited it a couple of years back they shared the premises with the couple of young guys doing high end leather goods and the guys who ran Craft Beer, although the latter have moved now.horace wrote:What the fuck does a rum distillery have to do with leather work?

I tried this place today. Nice little set up and he does some good work. He doesn't have croc skin though - only calf leather. I want a replacement for my alligator skin strap for my watch and was told that the official vendor's official replacement would cost close to $350 and I can only get it in Singapore or KL where the have the proper shop, so I'm keen to look for a temp replacement, especially as the sweat is destroying my existing one.horace wrote:On street 19 , go south past Wat Botum , past st 264 and on the right is a leather worker who makes belts, bags,wallets , etc , give him a try and he does speak a little English, has croc and other skins too.
I'll give it a go over the weekend and report back.
