Absolutely stunning strap. The Blackmar doesn’t disappoint. It’s tremendously supple and fits comfortably right out of the box. I’m genuinely happy with it and couldn’t wait to put it on my watch. The quality and feel are fantastic. Thanks!

Perfect strap like always.

Fit and finish is close to perfection. Not a single blemish or flaw that I could see. The stitching is very clean and uniform. The edges are finished smooth and no rough spots anywhere. The leather is super supple and soft, the strap flexes almost like a rubber tropic band instead of leather. I only wished that the strap was a little bit thicker, I think the spec. says it’s 2.1mm thick. It would have been nice if it was about 3mm thick or so. The strap is on my Squale 2001 which is 13mm thick so if you look at it from the side, the strap looks un-proportional relative to the thickness of the watch. But looking at from the front, I love the look of the Blackmar strap on this watch. Yes, I know I put a leather strap on a diving watch but the only diving I’m going to is in the bathroom sink.

Beautifully made strap that brings out the vintage character of my King Seiko 5625-7000. Premium quality and exactly what I was looking for.

I could not be more pleased with my second purchase from Howard at Veblenist. The craftsmanship and detail are simply supreme. His bands are soft, supple, and made to last. Right out of the box, it feels as though it is an old friend on my wrist - like it belongs there. There truly is no break-in period! Did I mention the box? The packaging makes you feel like you have been sent a gift to yourself. Beautifully wrapped, with a soft bag and a personalized thank you & enjoy note. My Gator & Blackmar band are treasures that I will enjoy for a long time. They enhance my watches with understated elegance. THANK YOU, Howard!

I love the strap — but it doesn’t come with spring bars. What a sad surprise.

Veblenist were super helpful when I had to change the size ordered. They also realized I had ordered something that was provided with the band, and I was refunded that part of the purchase very quickly. The band itself is great. Great leather, color, and it feels great. I can't thank them enough and will be checking to order more soon.

Fantastic watch band. I am very happy with it.

I absolutely love it, it is exactly what I was looking for. The quality of the leather and the feel is very soft and it is easily my new favorite strap to use. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars is because I believe it wasn't sized correctly. I'm not a watch collector by any means but, I find it odd that it the two holes that the strap "kind of" fits are the two last holes. The last one is very tight, and the next one has my watch going up and down my wrist. I suppose it is what it is? Other than that, great great product.

I asked for a custom strap and this blew me away. It shipped quicker than expected and the quality is outstanding. It looks fantastic and fits fantastic. Highly recommend! I will probably be buying most of my straps from here now.
