Theviking 196 Posted June 17, 2018 I ordered this Santos xl100 from Mary (brilliant as ever) but everyone knows the imitation croc straps aren't great. Not wanting to shell out ~$$$ for a new gen strap or a tired second hand one I managed to persuade the good people at ZicZac leather to make me a croc strap for it (they don't usually list Santos straps) and they did it for $59 delivered. Pleased with the quality, the resin on the strap edges was a little thick to fit the lugs so I used scotchbrite to file a bit off it off to fit. Thinking about ordering a brown or tan one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,381 Posted June 17, 2018 Wow, that looks very nice indeed! The fit looks excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,485 Posted June 17, 2018 Nice one, did you send your rep strap to them to use the inserts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlanetZoom 1 Posted June 17, 2018 That looks good. Replacing the strap on reps is well worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope they got less messy with the order management from last time I've used them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gcnlm995 0 Posted September 3, 2018 I just convinced my friend to order this in advance of receipt of his watch, so that the lead time for a decent strap isn’t prohibitive. I think it’s fantastic. Has Zic-Zac upped its straps / target market to be more competitive with Vic et al?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theviking 196 Posted September 4, 2018 I think so, I did tell them there is a big market for a cheaper real croc Santos strap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michel7752 0 Posted September 25, 2018 Zic-Zac did a Santos 100 (medium) strap for me one year ago. It was perfect. They do not need the plastic end-pieces of your rep strap any more. They said that now they had sourced them. You can buy with confidence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
