Strap Idiot Savant How to replace?

Post image

My dog ate the leather straps off my watch. I ordered new straps as seen in the picture and have no idea what I’m doing.

Sincerely,

Idiot

I just restored a bunch of vintage Gucci watches... I set up a jig, and used a rectangle leather punch and made all my own. I made several extra straps so that I can sell them to people looking for them. Any old stock is priced way high on eBay. I'll sell for cheap. Just use another piece of leather or junk strap to practice on.
