Good material, okay craftsmanship
Beautiful strap. Craftsmanship was fine but could be better. Some excess glue was visible on the underside, and the strap seems just a hair wider than advertised.

What a mm difference can make?
Using a calibrated semi professional monitor is not always useful, When it comes to color matching with products bought from the internet. With leather, it's understandable. My strap is suppost to be a 22mm one, but it's like a mm short, which expose a small gap where you can see your pin of your watch. However this gap, when I'm taking off my backpack. it can be "hooked" and result in a fallen watch several times. Mine didn't broke, but stretched :(

My first Cordovan, and its perfect...
I bought this not knowing what I would use it for, and Im very pleased to be wearing it with my new Glycine Chief. The lightweight strength of the leather, with no padding and nothing flashy seems like a perfect fit for low-profile, lightweight, vintage class. After trying the stock padded strap (while decent in the Chief's case) I can really see the appeal of simplicity in properly tanned and dressed very nice leather. This is a standard length #8 in 22mm that I wear on the third from tightest hole, with enough left over to catch about half-inch long past the second retaining loop if its pushed as close as it can be to the buckle. This is with my roughly 7-1/2" wrist, and after a bit of breakin and stretch, is loose enough that I can wiggle my wrist to send it to either side of my extra large and pointy ulna lump thing. I am considering the future of this strap however, and if you feel like the price on these is a real investment, you may be looking for a deployment clasp to make sure it holds up for as long as possible, because at least mine is stretching and creasing already at the buckle. Though I think mine will stay right where it is for a long long time, and may simply treat with a little clear conditioner as some point. I do try to take it off somewhat more frequently that I would a stainless bracelet even just to let it cool off, dry out, and firm up a little every now and then.

Looking forward to finding a nice fit for my lighter colored 18mm strap. Most likely another vintage type piece, because these seem so at home there. Nice box, bag, and presentation as well, though would be a bit overkill if the price didnt justify it.

Nice strap.
I dot Blue one, and it is really Dark blue. Quality is pretty good, light, thin, smells funny. Packaging is too expensive for it, big box and pouch, I wish it would be cheaper but no costly premium cardboard. Now my watch (CCCP) and strap are about the same money spent which is not good.....

Very nice shell cordovan straps. I got a one blue and one natural strap and the color on both are very nice. It's also nice that you're able to choose the length. Planning to throw the blue one on a Speedmaster Broadarrow (3551.20.00) and the natural one on a Nomos Tangente Gangreserve. I'll post some pics later.

Outstanding if only the correct sizing
Simply beautiful colors and good quality leather that has patinated wonderfully. These are now my favorite sets of wrist watch bands, even over expensive German ones that cost hundreds more. The only thing I would want would be a bit straighter stitching, but there is a certain “handmade” charm to them. Oh, yeah, one more thing - the bands are narrow by about a 1mm. So the metal pins of the watch show a tiny bit. If only these were actually the correct width (20mm in my case). Both my sets have this problem. Too bad really - the earlier drop of a slightly different design had correct sizing. Despite this annoyance, I decided to keep them, because the leather is just too darn attractive.

Excellent
I paired this with a Hamilton Khaki and it's excellent. It's a bit thicker shell cordovan than a previous NATO style shell cordovan strap I had.

Rarely it matches so well
I bought this strap specifically for a Grand Seiko watch with a stunning blue dial. I couldn’t be more pleased about how ell it matches the colour of the spectacular dial. The strap itself is made of solid leather - not a thin leather wrapped or glued on leather. The real deal. I love it.

It also looks black and blue depending on the light.

Excellent quality strap!
I have this on a vintage Omega and this strap makes this old watch shine again. Very durable and Color#8 is a very understated, dark oxblood type of color. I love it!
