Handmade Alligator Leather Watch Band Men Quick Release Premium Crocodile Strap Stingray Ostrich Replacement Silver Buckles 18mm 19mm 20mm 21mm 22mm 24mm

Beautiful strap for reasonable price!
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!

Good…with a minor hiccup
Good strap overall, especially for the price. This particular 21mm strap stitching is VERY off-center (see pic), top right —stitching is almost off the strap. It definitely needed more quality control, but rather than take the time to send back, I decided to put it into use. UPDATE: I will compliment the Vinacreations team for immediate outreach to me on this issue and the offer to replace the strap at no cost to me. As a side note, another identical strap I ordered in 20mm was perfect, so this appears to be an isolated issue.

Love it
I looks great and feels very comfortable. Wraps nicely around your wrist unlike other leather straps that sometimes never look right.

Cheaply constructed
Unfortunately, this watch band looked and felt very cheap and poorly constructed. After installing it on my watch, I put it on. The band had 2-3 creases as it wrapped around my wrist. These creases formed awkward angles instead a smooth “band” around the wrist, causing immediate concern that it would tear or crack. I don’t recommend.

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.

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.
