Great looking watch... We need a better view and tutorial on the band you made.... That is cool.
I watched a couple of youtube videos. Cut 11ft of 550 cord and remove core strings & melt the ends of the outer layer
Pretty simple knot to learn, switch sides each stitch. A jig board to keep it straight helps but I did this freehand. Used a small pair of hemostats for a tuck and pull tool.
The buckles were harvested off an old camera bag.
Patience and eating some potassium so my fingers would quit cramping. Had to undo and rewrap a couple times to figure it out for size. Took me a couple of hours...hey I have wasted 2hrs on stupider or less successful projects.

Just looks like a simple cobra knot. Tons of tutorial vids on YouTube. Also, a veteran owned company called www.BoredParacord.com has tons and tons of colors and patterns, at good prices.

Nice job! :thumb:

Very cool and thanks for sharing. Have watched a couple videos on the subject since I posted .
Learning a new skill is never stupid .... You get good at that , there could be a market for that type of watch band . Just may know a bunch of watch nuts running around the area .... :cool:
