I am a watch collector and I bought the 18mm strap in light brown, with hand stitching. I absolutely love this watch band! The color is listed as "light brown", but it has a red hue to it. It looks really good with the white stitching. I installed the strap on a rare Camel Trophy Masterpiece and it looks very high-end. I just ordered another one!The strap is padded and very comfortable. Buckle size is 16mm, so I was able to swap over the Camel Trophy buckle. It's too early to say much about durability, but it really appears to be a well-made strap and I have no concerns.Two things that buyers should be ware of. First of all, the strap is a bit shorter than "normal". It works perfectly fine for me, as I have small wrists. If you have big wrists, this strap may be too short for you. Second, the strap has a strong odor when it comes out of the box. Not sure what it is, but suspect some chemicals that were used in the manufacturing process. This odor will go away after some time.Highly recommend this strap!

This is the second strap I've ordered from this company. It has quick release lugs that seem to be very secure. The pattern on the strap is crocodile. The company says it's genuine crocodile hide, but I don't know if it is or not. I don't have any reason to doubt the company.The strap is a little short, and probably won't fit some with big wrists.Overall, I'm happy with the strap and feel like I got it at a good price. One last thing, it took several weeks to arrive, but it came within the expected delivery window.

There has been quite a bit of debate in these reviews as to whether the strap is actually reptile or not. I’ve worked with leathers, although less so with reptile skin. I believe the skin is actually alligator on the band I ordered.However, the seller appears to make little or no distinction between alligator and crocodile, which in fact look significantly different from each other. Crocodile has a smaller more irregular grain. It doesn’t matter much from a wear standpoint; so buy whatever visually appeals to you the most.The bottom line with these bands is that they look good and are a great value for the price. It is not a top of the line band. Those cost a lot more. Another good feature: the quick release pins on the strap. So you can change band colors and types pretty easily. A not good feature: it only came with a silver buckle, and I really needed gold. So I had to buy a deployant clasp (or buckle) in gold.Ultimately, the pictures say it all.

This is an awesome seller! I have been using Amazon for many many years, and don’t generally weigh the reviews.I had an issue with UPS delivering my orders and “misplacing” them, and never receiving my products. This seller worked with me to try and resolve, and in the end, just sent me a replacement on his own dime! His only concern was making sure the got the wrong product because he was generally excited for me to see his work. In the end, the got a great watch band and could not be happier.

Is as described. Compliments the gold bezel on my watch. Practically an exact match to the original band. Comfortable to wear and fits well.

The band is beautiful and sparkles in the light. I love the aesthetics of it.The clasp is quality and easy to use.Unfortunately, after 58 wears and a little more than one year, the stingray skin delaminated from the backing material.

The media could not be loaded.  Very easy to install. It looks beautiful. Feels like it is great quality. It is pretty stiff but that’s expected because it’s brand new, with normal use it will break in and be even better. I love the look and highly recommend!! I will buy more from this company.P.S. I have a 7 inch wrist and I’m using the 2nd to tightest hole - that’s what she said

I thought this would be a good, less expensive, replacement watch band. However, after wearing it for a few days in 90 plus degrees Fahrenheit it caused a sever rash to form that turned purple. I mean purple because it went past deep red. I am susceptible to poison ivy, sumac and oak so thought maybe that’s what happened. So I switched arms and within one day the rash started on my right wrist. There must be something in the manufacturing process that reacts in heat and causes this. It’s not only very itchy buy painful as well to the extent that I’ve contacted my dermatologist. I would have given this band a high rating, but now all I can say further is stay far away from them.

I wanted to write a review after seeing the numerous one star reviews questioning the legitimacy of the "crocodile" or "alligator" leather. I took the chance, got the one with no Padding, non-hornback, black, for my cocktail time.What I will say, I'm no expert, but I am an enthusiast with a history owning hundreds of watches and straps over the years. While I don't know for a fact that this is genuine croc, or alligator?? I don't know which it is... But it appears to be legitimate for the following reasons:1) it smells like leather2) water slightly absorbs, does not roll off like it would on PU leather/fuax leather3) the pattern is extremely inconsistent, it has alot of character, fine details between the scales, and shows no uniformity (like most fake croc embossed straps would)4) it is pliable, like gator or croc leather should be, feels nothing like a croc embossed strap.5) has other visible imperfections. (you would not see this in a stamped pattern)I posted pictures to demonstrate what I mentioned above.I will say, that while some doubt the authenticity, it is understandable for the price. Also due to the fact it is marketed as 'Alligator' leather, despite no alligators inhabiting Vietnam (the location of the vendor/strap maker). However, there are crocodiles in the location, and there is the possibility the leather itself could have been imported for crafting. Or the vendor just might be using croc/Alligator interchangeably due to the close similarities. But I understand the skepticism ordering online, especially with all the faux leather and croc embossed straps.What tilted this strap to my favour, however, was the following: it looks great, has an authentic looking scale pattern, and is extremely pliable and comfortable.For this strap to be fake, this vendor must have the most realistic looking template/stamp in the world to emboss it in such an non-uniform pattern. Comparing this to most generic/faux croc embossed straps, there is definitely a noticeable difference. I don't know for 100% fact this is genuine, but chances are, they are just using croc or alligator belly for their leather after all. But I am no expert, either way its a pretty convincing copy if so.I think it looks great, and most aspects of the watch lead me to believe it is authentic. Either way, feels great, looks great, and deserves a great review.

Perfect!

El producto llegó muy tarde una vez arribado al país destino . Aún así valió la pena la espera

Lo único que no me agradó del todo es que es demasiado corta la correa, soy de muñeca mediana y apenas con el último orificio del brazalete pudo ajustarse.. debían agregarle un centímetro más de largo a la correa.. fuera lo anterior la recomiendo.

Very comfortable
