RECHERE Alligator Crocodile Grain Leather Watch Band Strap Push Button Deployment Clasp

high quaity. put it on my cartier tank watch. looks magnificant. i highly recommend this leather band. the price is everything. great deal

Well my 2014 purchase reviewed below lasted 5 years. Amazing for $16! I reordered in 2019 and that one is still going strong.Off shore delivery is lengthy but I knew this going in. Just mentioning it in the event you want quick delivery. Product is as promised and for $16.00, better quality than expected. The gold colored plating's appearance is very good and time will tell whether it lasts, but again, its $16.00! I'm confident I will get what I paid for and in fact can by 5 for the cost of a single OEM replacement. Good value.

I've only had the strap for a week and have worn it twice so I can't attest to it's durability, but it does seem to be constructed well. The leather feels decent, not overly stiff yet not super soft like high quality leather, the clasp seems sturdy and is not overly bulky and the stitching and alligator grain look nice.My problem with the strap is the color. The image shows a dark, rich brown yet the strap is actually a much lighter brown and looks very cheap in person. Again, the strap itself is pretty nice for the price, but it's not what I thought I was purchasing.I've included a picture of the strap in lighting which best shows it's true color.

Very cheap appearance looks like plastic nothing like leather. Very dull finish and "leather" has a very shallow imprint of alligator. However the Deployment Clasp does appear to be well made, nice and shiny. Could not say how the clasp would hold up though. Had difficulty returning this item for a credit, the vendor did not reply to my return request so I had to file a claim through Amazon.

I usually avoided leather straps, as they never lasted long. They were always breaking, because you have to bend the strap over and over to close it. With this strap, it's a clasp. It was so easy to put on as well. Of course, I do have the proper tools, and I did work for a jeweler at one point, but I would imagine putting this strap would not be too difficult for the average person. Will I buy this again? Absolutely. But I shouldn't have to replace the strap too often at all.

I have wanted one of these bands forever, hoping to run across one in my little Northwestern city. I didn't like buying this sight-unseen; I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. I used it to replace a buckle-ravaged leather band on a larger Seiko Kinetic watch. The leather color was what I'd had, and the metal color paired well with the brass bezel of the watch. On top of that, the butterfly deployment mechanism is just too cool! I admit, it is a little difficult to put on, at first.I had been ready to pay over $100 for something like this. I am glad I got it for like $20.The item was 'mailed' from an Asian country. It took a long time to get, with zero tracking information. In retrospect it doesn't matter, but we've all grown so used to real-time delivery tracking, this seemed out of place.

I both this strap about a year ago. But this band came too short to install on a Cartier look. So it is uncomfortable to wear. Also the quality of the leather band is not a good quality, because it is narrow.Any way it does not look good. But at the time of purchase I could not find any other brand.

I bought this for an antique watch that needs a 19mm strap. The photos don't do this strap justice, it is very classy looking, comfortable and secure. I would definitely buy another one.
