dyed stone leather band to light brown

couldn't wait for the release of new bands and hated the color of the stone leather so decided to do a DIY following these threads:

Stone Leather Band to Light Brown (Fiebing's Leather Dye) : moto360

here are some thoughts:

• sand enough so the leather is smooth and the shiny layer comes off. the dye soaks better.
• don't use too much dye! i put on a couple layers and it ended up being too dark for my taste. i eventually sanded it off after drying it for a night.
• if possible, do this right after purchasing. the leather slowly begins to show creases and leads to different shades of colors.
• follow the threads to the letter and you should have no problem =)

I done something very similar to you. Its interesting to see this because every one must have a different end result - mine was a bit more dark from multiple layers. I like how in the second to last photo, the outter watch band appears to have a weathered effect to it.
