“Great strap, but, some problems with fitting - Very nice quality and great looking. Please bear in mind, however, that the leather is quite thick around holes where the spring bars are inserted (quite a lot thicker than more "dressy" watch straps). Consequently, it can be a very tight fit between the spring bar holes on the watch lugs and the main watch case. I had bought this strap for my Rolex Precision or Tudor Prince Date, but, the strap did not fit either watch properly because the thick ends of the strap were jammed into the watch case and the strap ends would not rotate on the spring bars. It's a great strap, but, I suggest you check that you have a good distance between the watch lug spring bar holes and the main body of watch case before buying.”

“Excellent strap, wonderful paired with high quality watches - Wonderful soft leather, very comfortable, and feels like great quality. The style is fantastic, and I love the way it reduces to 16mm at the buckle for a classic vintage appearance. I chose the reddish brown colour, and it has given my IWC Portugieser Chronograph a whole new look and feel, which is great because I found the black IWC alligator strap a bit too formal. I would absolutely recommend these straps... and am trying to resist the temptation to buy more.”

“Again a Great Choice! - I've purchased another red-brown Simple Italian Handmade strap, this time a 20mm. I already fitted a red-brown 21mm strap on my JlC chronograph, it was and still is a Great Choice, the watch looks stunning, much better than the origional black strap. The 20mm strap has the same stunning effect on my Seiko Persage and Fortis Flieger. Again a Great Choice!”

“Premium quality at a great price - 22mm in light brown: Premium quality strap, very well made using high quality leather with robust stitching. Am expecting it to last many years and very much looking forward to the leather aging nicely and acquiring a nice patina to give it even more awesomeness as it gets worn in. Definitely worth five stars, but just a couple of things to be aware of. Firstly, the strap is supplied with a polished buckle unlike the previous version which had a brushed buckle. I've had to change it out for one with a brushed finish as it suits the watch better. Had lots of practice over the years so not a problem, but if you're thinking of doing the same be aware that the leather is quite thick and unforgiving. Perhaps choice of polished/brushed should be an option. Secondly, although the strap is 120/80 if you have anything over a 7" wrist like me you may need to remove the floating keeper. Very difficult to cut off so not recommended. The one on mine was quite tight (as it should be) so if you want to remove it by sliding it off lots of care will be needed to avoid damage to the stitching at the lug ends.”

“Nice quality and customer treatment - Really well made product, the craftsmanship is on point especially for its price. I'm pleasantly surprised. Also WatchGecko sent it in a very nice "care pack" which included a gift box and some spare accessories. Will 100% buy again from you.”
