Horological Meandering

I see increasingly using the cowhide strap, from brand to brand, Is this some fashion? wondering if the alligator strap is not widely accepted anymore

Almost all of the independents I know are prolific users of alligator or other "exotic" leathers...

I believe that alligator is on its way back into style, even *glossy* alligator.

. . . grained calfskin is preferable over other leathers including large scale gator. The texture of grained calfskin is pleasing to my eye. M4

I’ve had two nice Czapek straps confiscated this year because of CITES paperwork snafus.
