Pattini Straps - Recommended
Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2019 1:38 pm
Wasn't too thrilled with the OEM strap on my CCCP Friedmann. Didn't care for the texture on the strap. The taper made the watch head look HUGE. And the black strap made the blue minute hand also look black.
Had been on the search to replace it for some time. I thought that a strap with blue and red stitching would compliment the handset, so spent a lot of time searching for a suitable candidate. I eventually found my way to Watch Band Center and saw a likely contender by a company called Pattini. Wasn't familiar with them and wasn't taken by the stock WBC had on hand, so I thought I'd try to see what Pattini offered directly.
Took some digging, but I eventually found their site - https://pattini.pl/
*NOTE* - They have an "English" button on their site. It doesn't work. I had to do everything through Google Translate on Chrome.
I liked that they offered some customization and reasonable prices.
So I ordered this strap in blue leather with white and red stitching (I could choose placement for the colors, so I could've done red on inside and white on outside if I wanted) - https://pattini.pl/pl/p/Skorzany-pasek- ... ikacja/205
With shipping, the total for this custom strap was about $28.
They take Paypal.
I ordered the strap on 10/23.
Took 10 business days to process, so I got shipping confirmation on 11/6.
The watch delivered on 11/16, with my having to sign for it.
Watch came well packed in a nice box and looks to be very well constructed.
I think it looks really good on the CCCP and feels great on the wrist.
I would not hesitate to order from Pattini again.
Especially if I'm looking for a custom and affordable strap option.
The use of Google Translate isn't ideal, but not a dealbreaker and wasn't enough of a hurdle when you consider the savings on a custom strap.
That's my experience.
Hope others find value in this.
