Looking for a nice leather crocodile embossed watch strap at a great value?
When it comes to buying a new leather watch strap for your watch – regardless of the type of watch you have, Rolex or a Timex, there are many places to purchase leather watch straps on the open market – countless destinations and options. How to decide based on the information shown. Here is a simple breakdown of how to narrow it down to hopefully find a better value. Lets assume you visit a store with somewhat of a good reliable reputation. Feed back and testimonials are important but not the end all to go by. One thing to search by is price category – $10-$25 , $50-$100, etc... narrow it down, say you are just looking for a nice strap to enhance your timepiece with out breaking the bank and don't feel the need to go over board ,so you opt for the lower $ end - here's what to look for. Good pictures really help! Not just one photo of a top view, look for good close ups where the photographer has taken the time to present several angles for your viewing and evaluating decision. Which means they were not afraid to show you all they could under a full disclosure type of pic. Not only is the top of the strap important but whats underneath is also just as important. The stitching is important, does it look like quality machine stitching. Does it have a polished stainless steel buckle? Is it a 3-5mm thickness. Does it come with any extras like free shipping? Do they provide free spring bars. Look for a total package.
Look to see if it's sealed with no gaps showing, possibly glued and stitched both. Don't forget this is about finding a good looking watch strap at a bargain, meaning, this is for a lower price range category of leather “crocodile look” in a strap. This doesn't mean find the most cheaply made one to match the price. Similar to buying a bottle of Cabernet wine. You can find plenty of good drinkable California wines for under $15 vs: spending $35 - if you just know what to look for after doing a little home work. One leather strap that meets the “great looking for the money” category for around the $15 mark is the CE-260 from Lux Watch Straps. A very nicely made genuine leather Brown Crocodile Embossed Watch strap. This one has to be one of the best available for the money on the market in the bargain category.
You can certainly spend more, in fact you can spend ten times the amount, but no need. At least not for this one- it's an “embossed croc print”. “Faux” as in.....” not genuine croc”. How ever it's made extremely well for the money. Soft tan underside makes for a very comfortable feel when worn. Nice stitching and gluing and a (stitched keeper ) and the best part - it's “Genuine Leather”. It has a very rich deep dark brown that is sure to enhance any watch you put it on. When compared to a number of similar watch bands on the market costing twice or three times , this one beet the scratch and sniff process hands down. We think you'll enjoy this one!

Many great watch makers today are using Bonetto Cinturini for their amazing rubber straps. Countless Swiss manufacturers already use the Rubber strap manufacturer Bonetto Cinturini for all of their rubber strap needs. One of the more common, but absolutely gorgeous straps is the Bonetto Cinturini Model 317. This classic rubber strap, with a 1.8 mm spring bar hole is used or copied by countless watch makers. It is popular due to its simple look that does not take away from the watch whatsoever. One of the great things about this and all Bonetto Cinturini straps is that they do not use any sort of Silicone. Their rubber watch straps are soft to the touch, do not collect link whatsoever and are extremely durable. The Bonetto Cinturini Model 317 comes in two sizes, 22mm wide and 24 mm wide at the lug. On the 24 mm wide version it tapers down to a 22mm size buckle. The 22mm wide version of the Bonetto Cinturini 317 stays 22mm all of the ways to the end. Also, the Spring bar side has a bulbous end to ensure its strength and years of abuse. The top side of the Bonetto Cinturini 317 has a smooth center but has a camphor edge. Some call this a three-dimensional pattern. The 317 is very similar to the 306 models that we also carry. Obviously, the 20mm size is one of the major differences, but the one particular unique feather of the 317 over the 306 looks is a square end on the tongue side. The 306 has a pointed end, which is somewhat of a more traditional leather strap look.
