strap

Nice strap and watch. I can't tell from photo that this strap is anything other than what its suppose to look like. 


On straps, I recently got a CF alligator black shiny for my 5035g. The strap is very stiff. I have bent if back and forth throughout the strap (don't want to be too forceful), but its still on the hard side. Any options on what to do? Thanks so much (and I realize this is sort of a new topic, but folks seem to know straps).

Adding my growing insanity of getting more straps for my watches- got this gray calfskin to add a bit of a format evening wear touch to my 5270. I now have green, blue, yellow, brown and gray straps for this watch. In addition to calling the fire departme...  

sell the watch

Great color. You mentioned calf skin,

do you mean it is calf skin and croc embossed?

I think so…

They have a bunch of different types- I find the actual croc straps to be a bit too formal. And frankly they are twice the cost. CF has a calf skin option that mimics croc but is slightly less glossy and a bit more to my liking. And it’s 1/2 the cost. On ... 

I have a couple of calfskin alligator embossed straps,

other than myself I don't think anyone can tell without a close examination. Gator is nice, but you're right, costly. My TAG came on an alligator strap, I love it but my opt for something different when replacement time comes. Ostrich is tempting.

I have an ostrich

I actually don’t like it. Too many knots in the strap. Straight calfskin is my favorite but also depends on the watch . And yes you are right- I guarantee no one will tell that this is not real croc. Being 1/2 the cost means I can buy twice the straps.

Too beautiful!

Couple days on the wrist with the oils and heat from the body will get it into shape. All my alligator straps were very stiff at first but a couple of days and they are fine.
