iStrap Leather Watch band Alligator Grain Calfskin Replacement Strap Stainless Steel Buckle Bracelet for Men Women-18mm 19mm 20mm 21mm 22mm 24mm-Black Brown

Perfect! And for under 10 bucks!! Actually, they even gave me a dollar-off coupon, making the total price $9.This little purchase gave me more pleasure and satisfaction than anything I have bought in a long time. My men's sporty chronograph had come with a really cheap and fragile fake alligator watch band that shredded like rotten confetti. I found several replacement bands online for around $30. Heck, the watch wasn't worth that much. Then, I found this handsome genuine leather replacement at a great price. It was drop-shipped from Amazon's China guys for 8-day arrival (they had predicted ten days). The leather was handsome, strong, and supple. Three different colors are available. The tool kit and hardware included worked perfectly. Just watch a quick video to be sure you measure properly to get the right size. Take your time, and get it right. I was troubled about this measurement, but the 20mm I chose was dead-on. Go for it.

The leather band watch band arrived fine. The description of the product shipped states that it includes: FREE 4 PIECE SPRING BAR INCLUDED: This is a $4 value and absolutely free. No need to buy a separate spring bar to your brand new watch strap. Get this beautiful strap on your wrist as soon as you tear open the package. But no spring bars or band watch pins were included. I did not have time to return the item as my old watch band was falling apart. Vendor needs to stand behind what they advertise. Not sure if this was overlooked during packaging. Attached photo also shows watch band, tool, and spring bars.

I have used this band on my watch for a number of years and I am very pleased overall with the band! The cost is easy to accept and the overall quality of the band is great. The reason though that I have to replace it on occasion is because there are two straps on the band of which one is stationary and the lower one moves up and down. That loose strap often breaks and I end up with the large part of the band flapping around, which is a nuisance and often leads to the stationary strap to get broken off too, thus rendering the band useless and needing to be replaced. What I do to extend the life of the band, and this works fairly well, is that I get a piece of black Velcro tape and I attach a piece to the band and the other piece to the underside of the strap and that holds them in place and you really can’t even see the Velcro tape because I trimmed it to fit perfectly!

Overall, I am pleased with this strap. Color is nice, and the quality of the leather seems to be very high. The supplied pins were nice, and it went together on my Seiko very easily. My only complaint is the buckle--it is VERY rose colored. Rose gold watches for men are fairly uncommon, so I don't really understand this choice for the buckle. Yellow gold would make much more sense, in my opinion. Other than that, however, I like the watch strap and recommend it.

What a perfect way to bring new life into my aging watch! A very simple procedure, aided by the most useful tool that came included with this purchase, and in minutes my watch looked like new again. (Actually, a little better) The band has a beautiful color of dark brown (espresso) and the reptilian pattern isn't too noticeable from a distance but adds a nice accent to this well made band. The band is thick, almost pillowed, which makes it feel durable. I'm a little concerned about the single stitching though. I hope that it won't be a problem in the future. Overall, a very good band at a reasonable price.

It doesn't feel cheap as it has some thickness to it, but this may be due to the leather covering a padded layer underneath. I have enjoyed this strap on my thin dress watch as the original leather strap that came with it had worn out and cracked after a year of humid weather and regular wear. I am now in a cooler climate and don't wear the watch+strap as frequently but am very happy with this strap.The strap has a nice brown tone and doesn't have a cheap sheen like some other products might have. The product comes with tools and spring bars to make the swap. I would like to have the price a bit lower than I paid since I suspect it won't last too long but I have a black strap as backup when the brown leather one is no longer wearable.Would recommend this product.

UPDATE AFTER A WEEK:Band loosened up but when it did, the underneath got all wrinkly, and developed ridges, the underneath is not soft newbuck but rather a stilff mateial that feels a little like vinyl?First I have to comment that for $10.00 including shipping, my expectations weren't very high but I decided to take a chance as a 21mm leather band for my Orient Bambino, as 21mm bands are harder to find,It came in about a week. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it. The band is nice thick Croc embossed leather with a removable square ended polished SS Buckle.The lug attachment tapers down to 18mm at buckleThe stitching is a whitish silver not bright white + is very evenly stitched, the thickness of the band is about twice the thickness at the end of the band where the buckle attaches So out of the box the band off the lugs for the 1st inch + 1/2 is stiff + you have to work it a lot to sit on your curved wrist,No spring pins were included but I had extras from a kit I purchased from AmazonMy father-in-law was a watchmaker + he always advised putting in new pins with a new bandOverall I am impressed so far, the black color to my eye looks a little brownish black in the sunlight, it certainly is a China import for this price, so it will be interesting to how it holds up, It looks too good to be true on my wrist, but I gave it 4 stars and I will update in the future after some wear time,I am very happy with it so far + still can't believe the quality + low price, more to follow in a few months!

This watch strap was a perfect replacement for my tired old one. The size is exactly the same as the strap that came with the watch and I was able to fit it in about two minutes. I'm not sure what else to say really... if you are looking for a replacement brown leather strap for a traditional watch then I can't really look past it.Package contents (I've attached a photo):- Replacement strap- Spring pins- Fitting instructions

I ordered the watch strap because it said xxl it arrivedthe next dayas stated. But when I put it up against my original strap it was the same size and that was a large so the new strap was no bigger and a waste of time and money. It is a good quality strap but not the size stated . So I can't recommend the strap because the size is No bigger than a size large.

I have a nice Raymond Weil watch for which I had spent quite an amount to buy. It's my beloved because it is a discreet, modest one. Some years after purchase the strap became used and I had to replace it. The local stores were selling some compatibel leather watch straps which were of limited quality and were worn very quickly within one year at most. I turned to Amazon to find a solution and I spoted iStrap leather bands with very good reviews. I read them and decided to buy 4 of them in order to assume the replacement on my own. Not only the proved cheaper than what I was buying every time locally but also arrived perfectly wrapped, with a content of good quality. I did the replacement on my own with a small knife like tool (needs attention) I have. It took 3-4 minutes for a replacement of both parts. My watch looks again brand new and stylish as the design crocodile print is similar to the original RL leather band.Update 2017-07-01: Still an excellent quality product with little wear after the period of usage. I have to report this and thank once more i-strap for such an excellent product that stands very well also in time.

It's the right shape and size, and looks the part, I am very happy with it, though i have only had it for a week. It comes with 4 sprung posts, and a little double ended knurled tool. One end of this tool is a pin for pushing out sprung posts in situations where a hole is drilled right through the shoulders of the watch. The other end is a flattened fork for extracting the same pins in situations where the hole is 'blind' . My one minor niggle with the product is that the strap itself doesn't have a second slot to accommodate watches, like my rotary chronometer, that have two pins on each side. But it is secure enough 'single pinned' and i am very happy with my purchase. I would buy the same again, and have already recommended it to colleagues who have noticed my new strap.

I bought the 18mm width strap in Black with tan stitch and it was exactly as I expected it to be. It comes as advertised and for me arrived two days after ordering, which was great. Although I didn't try putting the straps on with the pins included, I did put them through the ends of each strap and they looked a bit too short for the thickness of the strap, so I used the pins I have with my previous strap instead. This might still work though in reality. Other than that really there was no issues at all. Very easy to do and saves money going to a shop for someone to do the same thing for you. The iStrap logo is on the side facing your wrist so you are not going to see it anyway, and even my watch which I don't know the make of fitted fine. I am reviewing on the date of arrival so I will update my review if anything happens. Worth buying for sure!
