Don Ginsler

[magirus]

I bought three "Mini Pan" straps from Don Ginsler in Canada some years ago. They came with polished buckles which one of our members Bry1975 blasted to a Damasko finish for me. I've been wearing my Damaskos on Natos for quite a while, but thought I'd go back to leather for a change. My DA37 has been on a Damasko strap with Damasko clasp for a week or 2, so off it came and out came the Ginslers. After the black of the Damasko something lighter was called for . . .

Here's a polished buckle next to a Damasko pre blasting . . .




Here's the trio after being blasted with a Damasko for comparison . . .

All done, Everest off, DA37 ready to go . . .

I bought a couple of 24mm XXL straps from Don about ten years ago for my Panerais.

I'm still using them as 'winter' straps (I use rubber in summer) and they're nearly broken in now! In fact, I'm wearing one today on my 114.

I really should see if he's still selling them & buy a few more!
