    I found “bund” straps years ago on eBay, from a seller who, last time I checked, is out of business. What you have is more what I’ve seen described as a “cuff” or “saddle”. The bund is somewhat noticeably shorter, as the first pictured example you have on this video. If you search watch cuff or saddle, you’ll see examples of what you’re wearing. I know Fossil sells them; I have about four. You can really match some watches you wouldn’t normally consider; I wear my Mudman ( Mudmaster? The 2nd tier) with the extenders and a silicone strap. You’d be surprised how they match. Congrats on your 100k, you deserve it. Always good stuff.

    First time I saw a bund strap was on my grandfathers watch, an old soviet Raketa watch. After more than 20 year of wasting away in the attic it still worked when it got to me and it was on this old, thick black leather bund strap which looked alien to me. Since then I started collecting vintage watches and I find they really work well with bund straps (these fragile timepieces also get a bit more protection from your sweat which can corrode the back).

    I remember as a kid, my grandfather who I'm named after, has a collection of Russian watches (I'm Bulgarian, so obviously you will not about the Russian influence) and I do remember that he had one of his watches with that type of strap

    The Bund Strap is the reason i don't have the original bracelet for my Accutron Spaceview I purchased with high school graduation money in 1973. Those straps were all the rage (not that I knew what they were called) and I left for college with my Spaceview attached to a wide green leather strap somewhere and along the way misplaced my Accutron bracelet. Thanks for beating that drum again. And congratulations on the 100K milestone! Keep at it!

  • @amberhiggins6327
    @amberhiggins6327 Před 4 lety +4

    I had those straps in the 2000's. They were a big thing back in the 2000's Some didn't have a leather strap to slip in but had loops for the spring bars to connect to the band. I even have a silicone one. Back in 2003 I wore a rectangle one with a rectangle watch out in the heat of Los Angeles. It was in July. I had to take the watch off because all day my wrist was covered in sweat. I changed all my leather strap out a few year later because of the Los Angeles heat and haven't ever warn a leather strap since. I don't see those straps too much as I did in the 2000's but I know they are still available at the fossil store.

    Pretty cool. I've had one that I put on my Seiko SNK809. It was such a good look. And I remember one day a women in her 60's stopped me and exclaimed to her friend, "oh my god, do you remember these?". Lmaooo. Couldn't tell if it was a good thing. I love the look of them.
    Another underrated strap is a twist-o-flex bands. Very classic and comfortable cool.

    @briancarpenter1255 Před 4 lety

    Thanks Jory and congrats on 100K, you rock. I have been thinking about the BUND strap for some time now and you are probably the only one who has really made video showing its form and function. If you aren't the first then I am sure your is way better. I already contacted ManCaveLeather and he said he does each one special order and makes it specifically for the dimensions of your watch, so that is so cool. They are $50.00 which is an awesome price if you look at the time to make it and the amount of leather that goes into it. Thanks so much for this informative video. I wonder how my Serica WWW would look on one, well it looks pretty good on about anything if I must say. Stay safe my friend, Brian

  • @gerardogarcia-trio3572

    I love bunds with vintage watches, especially from the '70s. The look matches completely. I have it on two old cheapos, Orient and Excalibur, and I love them, they look just cool.

  • @Mister19Eleven
    @Mister19Eleven Před 4 lety

    Congrats on the 100k milestone dude, appreciate your style and content. Regarding the bund...I've never owned one and actually used to hate the look of them. But now I want to vary the look of my watches more and these really grew on me. I’ve got some scrap pieces of leather and was thinking of crafting my own DIY bund. I also figure with these types of detachable bunds you can use pretty much any strap to loop through the bund to get more variations with all your straps. Keep up the good work!

    Hi Jory. Congratulations on 100k(we created a monster). People love you because you are ground and honest. Regarding the strap. I make leather straps in my free time and most of people bring me streps like that(to take a measure) for Fossil watches, so I think that Fossil is selling their watches on that kind of strep as factory. Stay well and keep good work.

    Bund straps are awesome. I surprisingly stumbled over one at an online shop in my country. It was only available with 18mm lug width, and since it looked really good I ordered it and thought it would be perfect for my Seiko SNK809, which is a kinda mini flieger type B as the dial design goes. Well, that 38mm watch looked ridiculously small on the bund strap. The middle piece was way wider than I expected lol.
    I then put my 41mm Escapement Time flieger/chrono hybrid on it which already had a strap with matching colour and white stichings, and the proportions went way better. It now looks like the watch came with that bund middle piece. I'll also try it on another flieger style watch I have. Bund straps are indeed a fun way to change a watch's looks.
