Unpolished stingray with pebble-like finish
Extremely unique Matt-finished Unpolished Stingray
Stingray Skins Current stock:
All our stingray straps are custom-made, being entirely handcrafted by me in our workshop located near Munich, Germany. Stingray has a unique surface that is unlike that of any other leather. The surface of Stingray is composed of small, hard calcium deposits that give the leather a rough but glassy touch. Stingray has exceptional surface durability; it is very resistant to scrapes and scratches and retains its appearance with very little care required. Due to the composition of the surface, it is an ideal material for watch straps.
We offer a huge selection of Stingray colors and finishes. Finishes are available in Natural pebble, high shine polished, and matte sanded finish. Your strap can also be ordered with the central eye (of naturally pebbled stingray), and central Pearls (for high shine and sanded matte), We also offer Row Stone Stingray with a high shine or Matte finish. The Matte finish is exclusive to Dangerous9straps and offers a more subdued, less flashy finish.
Below are Stingray skins in current stock. If you would like to see straps made from these various colors, please visit our ‘Straps Made from Stingray’ page. Additionally, I do maintain an Album showing many of my completed custom Stingray straps: Stingray straps for your review.
We offer two finish options for the polished stingray: the standard high shine, as it arrives from the tannery or our custom sanded Matte finish, which offers a more subdued, less flashy finish. Please note, that we don’t offer full stitching on Stingray straps, however, I can add accent stitching at the lugs and clasp/buckle.
Row Stone Stingray:
Row Stone Stingray are long narrow Stingray hides featuring large pearls Central pearls running the entire length of the hide. These hides make for uniquely eye-catching watch straps.
While I stock only a limited selection of Row Stone Stingray, if you have an idea of another color you might like for your custom strap, please contact me and I will gladly check with our Italy-based Tannery/supplier about your desired color.
I can make your strap with a medium shine finish as it is supplied to us from the tannery or if you prefer a more subdued finish, I can give your strap a sanded Matte finish.

Hi do you do these for a Daytona and Are they waterproof?
Thanks Jim
Jim,
I do make Stingray staps for the Rolex Daytona. And, while the surface is very water/moisture tolerant, and the stingray leather itself has been oil-tanned, I still do not consider them waterproof.
While some of our materials such as Stingray, Shark, SuperMatte Teju Lizard, SuperMatte Ostrich, and SuperMatte Alligator have a surface finish that is extremely moistureproof, I still don’t consider our straps totally waterproof and do not recommend ever swimming, bathing, or regularly submerging our straps. This is because water will be absorbed into the leather mid-layer and over time damage and dry out the leather from the inside, which of course will lead to pre-mature strap failure. For these activities, I recommend wearing the OEM bracelet, rubber strap or Nylon Nato style strap which after it starts to look tatty can be tossed and replaced at a very low cost.
