First turned edge watchstrap
Made my first turned edge strap, thanks to Phil. 0,38 mm prick, 0.45 mm poly thread.
First enforcement layer : 1.8 mm skived to 1mm at the end.
Second enforcement layer : 1 mm
Exterior leather : 0.8 mm.
Lining : 1 mm
@masterclass : do you think skive alligator leather to 0.4 - 0.5 mm is a good idea, will it keep its strength after lots of fiber are gone?
The raised center made it more bulky than what I have planned for a casual watch. Definitely gonna improve next time ^^.

Thanks Dan. Same here, I love the classics and the traditionals, but trying to kick it up a notch for a more unique look. I think will make it less than 3mm for the casual watches, this thickness maybe more suitable with field or sport watches...
