Handmade full grain leather belt from Novelty Atelier, truly BIFL!

Recently purchased the handmade leather belt from Novelty Atelier (u/NOVELTY_ATELIER_) and I found it to be truly impressive that I couldn't help but write a review.

The belt strap is nice and thick (nearly 4mm) full grain imported vegetable tanned leather, which has great in hand feel and gives a very elegant yet sturdy feel for both casual as well as business casual attires.

The 35mm width of belt makes it very versatile for everyday wear. The buckle is solid stainless steel with a roller so as to accommodate easy manipulation of the thick belt strap. The stitching, edge burnishing and finishing is top notch that it's well worth the Rs.2500 paid.

As it's a single strap of leather wrapped and stitched around a stainless steel buckle, I really feel that this is going to last decades provided proper conditioning is given to the leather once a year.

Would totally recommend this one!

Tauruscamp Grain inspired custom EDC wallet!

I've been eyeing the Grain wallet from Tauruscamp for quite some time, but was never ready to spend north $85 for a wallet. Contacted a custom wallet maker (u/RawhideCo) and he was all in for the project. My requiremets were:

- A quick access slot to carry 1 to 2 cards

- Inner card compartment to store 6 cards

- A small coin pouch for 5 coins maximum

- A cash compartment for half folded cash

- Snap button closure instead of tuck closure

- Dimensions in the range of 8cm x 10.5cm

He made one for me in Jet Black veg tan full grain leather with yellow stitching at a very reasonable price of $21. The wallet came out exactly as I expected and finishing and edge burnishing is top notch. With all the above mentioned stuff inside, the wallet holds a very slim profile and slides easily in the front/shirt pocket. Planning to recreate the same in Buttero leather in future.

My custom EDC wallet from Rawhide Co!

I've been eyeing the Grain wallet from Tauruscamp for quite some time, but was never ready to spend north of Rs.8000 for a wallet. Contacted Avinash bhai (u/RawhideCo) and he was all in for the project. My requiremets were:

- A quick access slot to carry 1 to 2 cards

- Inner card compartment to store 6 cards

- A small coin pouch for 5 coins maximum

- A cash compartment for half folded cash

- Snap button closure instead of tuck closure

- Dimensions in the range of 8cm x 10.5cm

He made one for me in Jet Black veg tan full grain leather with yellow stitching at a very reasonable price of Rs.2000. The wallet came out exactly as I expected and finishing and edge burnishing is top notch. With all the above mentioned stuff inside, the wallet holds a very slim profile and slides easily in the front/shirt pocket.

Moreover, he's such a gem of a person and was willing to clarify any doubts whatsoever at any point of time. The product, service everything is a 10 on 10. Will surely get back to him for more projects.

Thanks again Avinash bhai!

The Casio Edifice EFR 574D punches way above it's weight class 🔥

Was looking for a compact yet sporty quartz chronograph with day date complication and landed on this beauty from casio. Been using it for a month and boy do I love it. Legible, versatile, functional and what not. The only upgrade I can think of is a sapphire crystal. Wears really well on my 6.25 inch wrist. Got a good deal of 7.2k INR on Amazon.

The 'Kaeres Snaepper' - my new EDC wallet!

I'm truly glad that I stumbled upon Mr.Madhukar (u/kaeres-leather-goods) from Kaeres India on this subreddit. Although I was looking for someone to make a custom wallet for me (which he does by the way), his catalogue was so impressive that I ended up buying the 'Snaepper' instantly due to it's minimal yet functional design. Pure Argentine leather, hand cut, hand stitched, deep raisin colour (looks like black in the photos due to poor lighting) with my logo of choice engraved, all these under Rs.1000 was a no brainer choice for me. The wallet has three compartments which can carry cash/card as per requirements.

I currently stuffed it with 8 cards(4 in each compartment), and some cash (along with some hard paper, for expanding the leather) in this third compartment. It's a bit tight as of now as it is with any top quality leather good, and I'm sure it'll break in with time. Even after stuffing up, the Snaepper easily slides inside my shirt pocket, which is exactly what I was looking for.

The hospitality and patience that Mr.Madhukar showed to a picky buyer like me was impeccable. The order placing, despatch and delivery were flawless too. Will surely recommend this guy and his products!

Where to find a replacement metal bezel for the GA/GAB 2100?

Hello, I'm looking for a replacement bezel for the GA B2100 with 'G-Shock' and 'Protection' engraved as shown in pictures. I've tried searching aliexpress and all I could find was Royal Oak style ones with screws and stuff, which I'm not a fan of. Could someone help me out?
