Excellent work but I missed hearing your voice. The orange is a perfect choice!
Thanks Peter! MK
This is timely.... after 22 months my Rolex dealer called last week and I picked up a new Explorer II... Amazing work Michael.
Thanks! MK
Your workmanship... omg. Really so much joy watching your videos. Big hello from Stockholm, sweden.
Thanks! MK
Work of art! Order soon being placed for my 216570. I love the date on the back, I bought mine as a celebration of sons birth and gift to him years from now. Maybe I could request a specific date?
Thanks Andy, Yes you may request a date. MK
Beautiful. Would have been nice to see the straps on the watches, but if I get a Polar, I know who I am coming to for a strap.
I will be taking good photos this week.
There are two wrist roll shots that the owner of the watches took near the end of the video! MK
@@StrapaWatch my bad. Must have missed it.
Thanks Michael! They are works of art. Love them.
Thanks Rodger, I'm so glad you like them! And thanks too for the wrist rolls!!! They look like they both fit well. MK
Michael, as others have expressed, we miss your voice! Thinking of you and your family as COVID grips Florida. Wishing you the very best of health and fulfillment. Be well.
Thanks Buddy! MK
Hi Michael, I echo Peter below. I miss your commentary! Really like the orange strap as well. Looks great with that Explorer! Take care, John
Thanks John! Always great to hear from you… MK
Love that orange GMT hand. I have a Gekota GMT watch with a white GMT hand against silver hour and minute hands - confusing. I'm planning on opening the case and painting that GMT hand orange! Those orange straps really compliment the watch! Good vid. Music is nice. But I miss the voice-overs. Welcome back. Keep at it!
Thanks Mark, Just thought I'd mix it up a little to see what people thought. Appreciate the feedback! MK
@@StrapaWatch You're welcome. Perhaps mix it up with music AND voice-overs. Good job!
Michael please excuse my language.....You’re freaking awesome!!!
Thanks Pat… MK
Impressive, was nice meeting u.
Thanks Joey, It was great meeting you today too! Please check out one of my more traditional shows: ruclips.net/video/mz4QlsqOKGc/видео.html
Michael, somehow missed this one, just watched love the straps. Mist the commentary keep them coming. 🇬🇧
Thanks Mr. Bell! MK
Just want you to know we miss you’re shows Mike hope all is well
Thanks Pat! MK
Very interesting watching a craftsman doing what they do best great job Sir
Thank You! MK
Really nice! I have the 16570 and should strongly consider the red alligator strap. Ty for making these videos.
Thanks Jim! MK
Funny! I just made a strap for MY polar explorer, picked up my phone and saw your video!! Nice job!😉👍
Thank Herb! MK
Michael,hope you’re all better man.. Looking forward to seeing you’re next show hopefully soon
Hi Pat! Yes thanks, I’m pretty much back except for my sense of smell and taste. I’m working away in the studio getting caught up. I’m so far behind and orders keep flooding in. I can’t promise when I’ll get the next show out, but it should be pretty soon. I’m honestly quite overwhelmed with the number of straps that I have to get out, and these are the priority right now. Thanks for being there for me, and I hope you’re well. MK
So happy to hear that your better Michael thanks for replying
Love this content!! Keep it up. Sadly not mad on the watch in question but your work is off the charts amazing!!
Thanks Geoff! MK
It's so beautiful.. I love it.. you are amazing 😍
Thanks! MK
Truly spectacular Mike!!
Thank Amy! MK
Beauts! Oddly strange not hearing your voice but perfect work nonetheless. Amazing work again my friend🏁👍🏼
Thanks Bunny Lou! Just thought I'd mix it up a little. MK
Nice, and Go Green!
Thanks James! MK
Hi Michael, I have been watching your videos for some time and I truly enjoy them. However, I just subscribed. I love watches and leather bands and I like you and respect you as a person. The times you talked about your personal life resonated with me and we are about the same age. I humbly suggest that you find a balance between the format of the last two episodes and your original version, like someone said, we miss hearing your voice. I know you're busy with making straps and your clinic. Just keep your camera rolling and then edit and make shorter videos and you can fast forward the steps that you do everytime. I pretty sure you made straps for a lot watches but yet you only covered a few watches in your episodes and some of them are repeats. Not criticising, just make suggestions to have your videos keep coming. Take care buddy. All the best. Maj
Thanks Maj! I’ve been extremely ill the past few weeks. Tests for COVID came back negative, but I have all the symptoms. No smell or taste with all of the other issues, especially extreme fatigue. Very odd… I think the tests were false negative. I started an Ivermectin & HCQ regime a week ago Wednesday and am feeling a little better. My personal physicians would not prescribe me anything, but was finally able to get some help through telemedicine. Just trying to do everything right. I appreciate your feedback, and should be back on RUclips soon. Thanks again! MK
@@StrapaWatch Hi Mike, too bad your going thru this tough patch of illness.... Hopefully, you recover soon and as good as new. Take care. Maj
Hi MK it’s been a while! Great video as allways those alligator straps are beautiful
Hey Brother! Please see the reply I just sent to Dan Baldwin and you’ll know what’s up. Thanks, MK
Michael, have you stopped making content. I know how busy you are with your business and all, hope you and family are keeping well. All the very best. 🇬🇧
Hi Mr. Bell, Just busy getting caught up after being very ill. I’m all better now, except for the loss of smell and taste. Shoot to start putting out some shows next month. Thanks for checking in! MK
@@StrapaWatch Hi Michael, so happy that you are getting well don’t push to hard it takes as long as it takes. All the very best to to you. 🇬🇧
I missed your Videos! Greetings from Austria
Thank you Hubertus! MK
Hi Michael, I've been watching your videos for a while and was wondering if you could reveal your sources for the alligator and shell cordovan leather? Here in NZ we have very limited supply of exotic leathers.The colours are fantastic that you used. I'm making watchstraps as well, mainly single pass straps. Love your work.
I go through AMTAN for the Alligator hides, Horween for their Shell Cordovan and Chromexcel Leathers, and Rocky Mountain Leather for the Shinki Hikaku. Thanks! MK
Sweet! Miss the VO insight with your great speaking voice and commentary.
And thanks for not talking about the TG debacle. Lol
@@reneewilloughby6933 Thank You!!! MK
Hi Michael ✊,👍👍💪🔥
Thank You! MK
Think your public has spoken and I agree , please resume the commentary , cheers Dippy
Thanks Stewart! MK
Where'd you go brother? I hope you're OK...
I’m doing better. Got the crud pretty bad last month. Was hospitalized for four days when my heart went into afib. Still dealing with some fatigue and brain fog, but man, last month it was unbelievable. The first and second week of July was like stage 4 flu. I’ve only gotten about 20% of my smell back, and I’d say 80% of my taste back. These frickin doctors at the hospital tested me 3 times for the virus and all came back negative. I went to a cardiologist for further tests the week after I released myself from the hospital and he thinks it’s some form of flu or strain of the virus that the tests couldn’t detect. It’s the only thing that makes sense to me. So yeah, pushin thru and doin better. I tried posting a short vid two weeks ago, but YT yanked it right down. It’s like you can’t even talk about it at all. They’re commies now anyways. Once I’m a little better I’ll put out a show. I’m just not ready and really need to catch up on orders. Thanks for always being there for me Dan! MK
@@StrapaWatch holy moly I’m glad your doing okay MK take your time and rest up. just glad your doing okay. sending you positive vibes! ❤️
@@StrapaWatch My wife and I got the two shots and she tested positive with absolutely no symptoms. I was a negative test. We really lucked out..almost time for a booster soon. We sold our house in one day and we close on the 7th. We're moving back to Montana as soon as we buy a house there. We have sixty days to get it done or we're homeless. I knew something was wrong. Get better brother... I've always got your back.
You what’s really weird Brother? Remember when you first contacted me in early October of 2019, and I was sick then? I had flown first to Silicon Valley for a two day Seminar during the middle of September 2019. Then I came home for two weeks and worked, and then I flew to Chicago for a Conference. While I was in Chicago I started getting flu like symptoms, but I had also lost my sense of smell and taste. When I got back home I was sick as a dog, and I never get sick. I had all the same symptoms: 102 degree temp, body aches, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, vomiting, diarrhea, the whole nine yards. Once people started talking about the C virus in early 2020, and the symptoms they were having, I thought WOW, that’s what I had. Since then I’ve spoken with tons of people who went through the same sickness I had in late 2019. I think it was here much earlier than people think. Could it have been the flu? Yeah, maybe, but the loss of smell and taste is the real tell tale sign. It came back last time within a week, but it’s been two months almost and I still can’t smell hardly anything. To have these three negative tests is really odd this time. I think I had it in 2019, and some variant this last time.
@@StrapaWatch Were you vaccinated this time? I'm 75 in a few weeks and the wife's not far behind me. I truly think if she wasn't vaccinated it could have ended poorly. I don't preach about this topic, but I get the flu shots too. I truly wish you a swift recovery.
👏🤫
Thanks Jim! MK
Mike I know I’m only a subscriber but I feel like you’re family to me Please tell me you’re ok
Thanks Pat, I’m doing better. Still dealing with a lot of fatigue and brain fog. My taste is about 80%, but my sense of smell is only about 20%. It’s been a rough couple of months I won’t lie. Way behind on orders and just not yet up to doing a show. I tried putting an announcement video out a couple weeks ago but YT took it right down. I guess there are some things you just can’t even mention anymore on here. It’s crazy. Hopefully I’ll be back to normal soon… Thanks again, MK
Hello Michael I sent you a message on Instagram a few days ago hope all is well with you
Thanks Pat! I don’t get on Instagram as often as I should. I’m slowly getting better. Got hit hard last month with some form of the virus. Tests for the original all came back negative, but they believe now it was a variant. I can’t even state the name or they’ll take my channel down. I put out a 5 minute short clip to update everyone about two weeks ago, and YT pulled it that day and I received a strike. Was very ill, and spent a few days in the hospital. I’m doing much better now, but just trying to get caught up on straps. Not sure when I’ll have another show out, but hopefully within the next few weeks. Still have extreme fatigue, headaches, and brain fog. MK
@@StrapaWatch Wow Michael something told me it didn’t seem right that you didn’t put out a show for the last month I had a feeling you might be sick but thank God you’re gonna be fine. I can’t believe YT took that clip down . Hurry up and get better now because i need a gray crocodile strap for my new Tudor BB slate gray dial bronze
