Genius 281 Posted April 7, 2015 Just got this in today from ebay, wasn't expecting much because of the price but I really am pleasantly surprised with what has arrived. this is the link I bought from http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321118538154?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT As you can see really really cheap. Its also really soft and I can see it being a very comfortable strap once I get it on the watch. It is stated as handmade and it does look it, the stitching isnt perfect but defiantly more than good enough for the money! its going to make its way onto my vintage omega de ville quartz gen, but I am waiting for a new battery turning up and also a decent set of screwdrivers so I can change the battery Just a note on the listing they have it quoted as 14mm at the buckle, glad I didnt order a buckle as its actually 16mm. I have just ordered a gold omega branded buckle from linamarket, I thought about getting a gen omega buckle with the watch being gen, but I dont think I'll wear this too much it is really a dress watch so the lina buckle will do for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted April 7, 2015 They have a good range of other straps for sale so I'd say to anyone considering a croc then at the prices they have listed its gotta be worth a punt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted April 7, 2015 Just got home and fitted the strap to the watch and think it suits it really well, it is quite a short strap but fits me just fine on the second to last hole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetalMickey 179 Posted April 7, 2015 Looks good, is it really CITES certified? I have emailed the seller to see if he has any suitable for the TAG friction deployant clasps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted April 7, 2015 No idea on the certificate it didn't come with anything but it is stated in the listing, it's not full Croc, I should say but does look like gen Croc on the top and then it is backed with really soft leather. Like I have said before is not perfect but a lot better than I expected for this money they even have 24mm ones for less than £15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

not_finbar 0 Posted June 21, 2015 I don't want to come across as a tree-hugging dick, but please think twice about buying exotic animal skins with no form of certification whatsoever. The illegal wildlife trade isn't very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
