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

One of them is Liberty Shoe Supplies, 241-4230/34. It's at the blue box shown in the map in this thread:

They have leather, I don't know about tools. Let us know what you find.
