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!

Beautiful look and feel. A far cry from other low quality bands available on Amazon. Very soft too.

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.

beautiful color, real alligator, dimensionally accurate. Wish they were offered bigger though for my big wrist. I'd get more of them. As it is, these two are the two I'll stick with from this seller.

If you don’t already know, straps from Vietnam are high quality and really worth seeking out. The Vinacreations in ostrich look and feel like a more expensive strap. The ostrich are soft and supple, and a matte surface which evokes a higher quality feeling as compared to the Vinacreations too-glossy alligator. I hope the company will also offer alligator in matte. If these are real alligator, the gloss lessens the feeling of luxury. Semi gloss would be fine, too. For both leathers, the colors are true to the product images.

This strap is genuine exotic leather. The craftsmen ship is what I would have expected from a much more expensive product. It’s soft and flexible and very comfortable. Very high quality. I immediately ordered the ostrich in brown to have options. Two of these straps is still 1/3rd the price of what I would have spent for one

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.

This is exactly what I want and need. A beautiful, looks great, soft, and durable wristwatch band. Awesome 5 Stars. !!!

El producto salió bien, mejor de lo esperado

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!

The color is a bit darker than the listing photos but it is still beautiful/ genuine alligator leather. 22mm fits my Tudor Pepsi perfectly. I’d buy from this seller again.

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