Private deal for Farhaad

1. Padding: Yes, I want the domed (“doom”) padding — I can see it in your photo, that is the shape I want. Padded and raised in the middle, thinner at the edges. Not flat.

For the shape, I like the profile in the attached photo — nicely rounded and raised in the middle, like a small cushion. Please make mine a similar domed shape, at the height you think looks best and works with the deployant clasp. I trust your judgment on the exact thickness.

IMPORTANT about that photo: I only like the SHAPE (the dome). Please ignore the leather and the stitching in that photo — that strap has crocodile skin and light-coloured stitching, which I do NOT want. I still want black calf with crocodile grain, and black tonal stitching. I like the shape, not the leather.

2. Buckle / clasp: I am leaning towards the folding deployant clasp. But before I decide, could you send me a photo of your IWC-style deployant clasp fitted on an actual strap? I would like to see how it looks on the strap before I confirm. I may want both the tang buckle and the deployant so I can switch — please price each separately.

3. Length: My wrist is 18.5–19 cm (see photos). Please choose the correct length from your size chart for the buckle/clasp. If between two sizes, choose the longer one.

4. Material: High-quality black calf leather with crocodile grain. (No real crocodile — India does not allow it.) Please make it look close to the original IWC black strap.

5. Size: 21mm at lug, 18mm at buckle. Straight lugs (not curved). Black tonal stitching.
