Fit & finish are great and it fits my wrist perfectly. I've included photos of the strap alone, and on its intended host (my Grandrally). This is the first time I've had a watchband custom made, and I think I'm hooked, especially at the price!

That is great! I am tempted to try but think I am holding out for a bit of taper. However, if I had something that would look that good it would be a no-brainer!

Very happy with mine! I ordered the normal springbar version. Quality all round - . for instance, the springbar hole is just the right diameter to snugly hold the springbar. The stitching at one curved edge of one of the straps could have been countoured better - but that's nitpicking for this money.

Very pleased with my second order from Pattini, a Mod. 70 racing strap in gray with blue stitching. Here you can see it dressing up my fauxMega Speedsomething Thanks MOT for fetching the nice discount for site members!

Can you explain what you mean?

Are you going to Pattini.eu?

They don't use .com in their site, so that could be the issue you're encountering.

I tested earlier and both .eu and .pl were fown. Appears to be fixed now.

yes, indeed
wrote them, and here is their answer: 'Hello, Sorry, we had a little breakdown. The store is already running.'

So I was just looking at Pattini’s site considering whether to order another strap. I’ve ordered two since last year and have been very pleased with the materials, workmanship, and ability to custom order from many styles.

One thing worth mentioning: you’ll pay more than last Fall, when MoT first brought Pattini on as a site partner. The upshot is that the prices appear to have gone up roughly 18% - 20% since last November (at least for those of us in the U.S.A.). The shipping has also increased 20%. This does happen...surely many market forces at work, as well as currency flux.

I think their straps are still well worth the cost--even a bargain--but be aware the net pricing changes have pretty much erased the 20% MoT member discount (see original post). Also as others have mentioned, there are still no tapered strap designs offered, which (for me) limits them to sports watches.
