Like the padding, like the color (green), like the sheen, looks fantastic on my gold green faced watch, 100% better looking than the original band on my watch.

Ordered a custom alligator strap from them which took about 2-3 weeks for custom made and shipping. High leather quality. Perfect fit. Excellent customer service. They communicated their updates and made sure I'm satisfied with the product.

There has been quite a bit of debate in these reviews as to whether the strap is actually reptile or not. I’ve worked with leathers, although less so with reptile skin. I believe the skin is actually alligator on the band I ordered.However, the seller appears to make little or no distinction between alligator and crocodile, which in fact look significantly different from each other. Crocodile has a smaller more irregular grain. It doesn’t matter much from a wear standpoint; so buy whatever visually appeals to you the most.The bottom line with these bands is that they look good and are a great value for the price. It is not a top of the line band. Those cost a lot more. Another good feature: the quick release pins on the strap. So you can change band colors and types pretty easily. A not good feature: it only came with a silver buckle, and I really needed gold. So I had to buy a deployant clasp (or buckle) in gold.Ultimately, the pictures say it all.

This band is awesome, it was super easy to install. The band was also somewhat stiff and thick so it may be kinda difficult to work with. The color matched perfectly the seller even messaged me on amazon to get my approval before sending. Def recommend

Nice looking watch band. But it broke in only 10 months. Beware.

Great product at a great price. The quality and finish of the band are higher than I expected. It is very comfortable. And the band has a hidden feature that allows you to pull the pin back and makes the insertion and removal of the pin amazingly easy. (I’ve never seen this.) I’m very happy with this band.

Maybe now it's too early for an overall review but this is a very decent strap if not the best for the money. I purchased it for a little over than $20 and it looks very nice. I'm not a specialist but it looks like a genuine crocodile leather. I read a negative review stating that this is a patent leather. Even so, lets not forget that patent leather can be a genuine leather. Patent leather is a type of leather coated with chemicals to give a shiny look. The vendor also sells hornback crocodile leather and I believe this would be difficult to make it artificially. If this strap lasts for year or two I'll be happy having in mind that nato straps cost more. Anyway, I'll need more wrist time in order to have a thorough evaluation so I may edit this review down the road. Nevertheless, for this price you get a genuine crocodile leather strap with a quick release spring bars and an extra buckle in golden color to match golden color watch cases. Should try it.

I thought this would be a good, less expensive, replacement watch band. However, after wearing it for a few days in 90 plus degrees Fahrenheit it caused a sever rash to form that turned purple. I mean purple because it went past deep red. I am susceptible to poison ivy, sumac and oak so thought maybe that’s what happened. So I switched arms and within one day the rash started on my right wrist. There must be something in the manufacturing process that reacts in heat and causes this. It’s not only very itchy buy painful as well to the extent that I’ve contacted my dermatologist. I would have given this band a high rating, but now all I can say further is stay far away from them.
