“Great strap, horrid taper - I loved this strap as soon as I opened it. However when I rolled my wrist I had an absolutely minuscule buckle. 16mm buckles shouldn’t be considered menswear. I had the hardest time getting the strap on and off, as I have rather large hands and fingers. Pass on this one, or even better, Watch Gecko make this an 18mm buckle at least for 20mm lugs!”

“Nice strap but beware of colors - These seem like decent quality items, but I'm deducting two stars because the colors shown on the website bear only a passing resemblance to the actual color of the straps. "Dark Brown" is reasonably similar to the photo, but somewhat more red in real life. "Light Brown" is actually quite orange/yellow. "Dusty Brown" is a fairly unattractive taupe/beige color that I wish I hadn't ordered.”

“Really wanted to like it - Ordered the light brown option for a Neymar - essentially a homage to the Black Bay. Problem was the watch was too heavy for the strap. It needed a more heavy duty one with less taper. There is a watch in my collection that will be a better match for it. Still it's a beautiful strap. Just about long enough for my slightly less than 7inch wrist.”

“Great craftmanship but insane feminine taper - I like everything about this strap since I purchased... until I rotate my wrist. The 16mm buckle and strap look like I'm staring at my wife's wrist instead of my own. Why the intense taper from 20mm to 16mm????? 18mm would have been ideal. Unfortunately it's going to see more storage than wear time due to the fact it just turns me off to see it when on the wrist. Even though the product description says 20mm to 16mm, you can't notice this in their product shots or videos how drastic the taper actually is. If I could, I would return it for a different strap.”

“Lovely strap, just a few niggles - I bought this for my speedy pro after seeing it on a review the image above showing it on a Dusty Brown strap being just what I was looking for. The strap itself is lovely, nicely padded and comfortable, however, the colour seems a lot lighter in the flesh, more along the Dusty Grey colour - I'm hoping with age and wear, it will darken a bit. It does taper a bit as mentioned in other reviews, and is a bit longer than expected, having to use 2nd hole in on a 7.25inch wrist, this does mean the end of the buckle is visible when looking face on at the watch. Service was great, and the item received quickly and was well packaged.”

“Dusty Black Vintage Highley Strap - I really wanted to find the perfect strap combo for my recent customised watch. WOW.....The Dusty Black Vintage Highley Strap is absolutely perfect, really is a high quality strap and goes perfectly well with my watch. It breaks in nicely and feels really comfortable. I certainly would recommend Watchgecko for straps. I have ordered loads from them, but I really do like the recent 'Dusty' collections.”
