Vianney Goldpfeil Band option

Dear fellow Purists. I just wanted to show the Goldpfeil watch with an alternative band option. For those of you familiar with the watch, the band resembled film, and the buckle an uptake spool. Well the bands were complicated to make, I am almost certain...
Good thinking Jay...

...and it works surprisingly well. Very nice. It was also clear thinking to 'stow' an original strap. Here's a thought - how about sending a photo of that strap and the specs to someone like ABP and having a replica manufactured? They could even match the...
I did start to go down that road and ....

Hi Jay ! I think that works great and your reasoning is good too. How about a picture of the buckle ? Don
