do you know where can i get the necessary tools for cutting and stitching leather manually. Like the one being used by the local sapatero's in making repairs.
i plan on making my leather watch strap using old belts and bags.
thanks

the last seiko i owned was the submariner type but i sold it to my uncle hehehe.
what i regret buying in the F1 TAG Chrono the rubber around the case melted.
This is where i get my inspiration about the strap. Im making one for my oris bc3
