I ordered the BROWN strap to go on my Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 600 with the red bezel. This watch can be purchased with either a reddish brown strap or a bracelet. Having ordered the bracelet version, I wanted to find an aftermarket strap to go with the watch. This was a bit challenging as I was looking for brown with reddish, oxblood overtones to it. The quality of this strap looked great from the pics and the third pic of the brown strap showed a reddish hue, so I took a gamble and pulled the trigger. And I'm SO GLAD I did. The strap is absolutely perfect for what I needed.First, the strap is indeed reddish in tone, in fact much more than I expected. This was fantastic for my particular watch, but if you're looking for something that is indeed brown, this may not work for you.Second, the padding is robust and adds some dimension to the strap. Since I was putting this on a diver, this was important. Some straps say padded, but have almost none. This padding on this is excellent and thins out as you get to the buckle.Thirdly, the Alligator styling looks good and looks natural.Fourth, the strap has an oily gloss, which I love.Lastly, the buckle is robust as well, not thin like you see in most aftermarket straps.I have never heard of "Bandini" before, but I will include it in all my future watch strap searches, because this was a great deal for the money, given that the Christopher Ward strap sells for $70. I can't speak for longevity, but it appears to be a well-made strap that will last for a long time.

I'm torn with this band. I love the color, it works with the watch perfect. Looks great. Where it falls down is that it is marketed as extra long, but it still isn't that long. I have to wear it on the last hole for it to be comfortable. At first I thought they sent the wrong one so I measured it. 204mm or about 8 inches, which is what the product description quotes. That's about 1/2 an inch longer than the regular length. I wouldn't have called it "extra long", just long. I am going to keep it, just beware that it's not all that much longer than the competition. Leather was a bit stiff also, but I can live with that.

This watch band looks very nice and elegant on my Breitling Navitimer watch. The original costs 10 time as much. But this one is very stiff, despite having used it --not daily these days though, for precisely the same reason--for 3 months now. It does not look like it is going to give and be more comfortable to wear any time soon.

Aa one reviewer also noted, the brown color is on the reddish side with some black highlights. This is the reason I bought this particular band for my black Orient Capital. I wanted a leather strap color that I could wear with my burgundy, chili, cordovan and (sometimes) black dress shoes and matching belts. This color is perfect for my use. A bit glossier than I would like but very nice. Time will tell re. durability.

I had to have a really wide band for the pins on my watch. I would like this better if it tapered away from the watch head. My wrist are not huge and it's a really wide band. Kind of uncomfortable. But really looks good and seems to be made super well.

Love the color, sturdiness and comfort. Their browns too are delicious.

Very well made, thick, high grade leather. Worthy to use on my time piece.

Very nice quality ! Color is little more brighter/lighter than depicted . No directions as to how to install was a drawback. Hard to implace. Otherwise good purchase.

Bought this for my husband, lovely genuine leather, just as it says on the tin. Easy to fit at home if you have the right tools.

easy to fit, great product

Das Material ist gut, etwas zu hart, aber das gibt sich vielleicht noch. Die Farbe blau ist wie abgebildet sehr schön intensiv, allerdings ist das Band für einen kräftigen Männerarm zu kurz, auf keinen Fall XXL-Größe.

Il cinturino è di buona manifattura ed è perfetto per il Galaxy Gear s3. Il prodotto rispecchia la descrizione. l'unica pecca è che non ha l'attacco rapido, se pecca si può chiamare paragonandola al prodotto.

exactly as shown and ordered, really rich looking
