Great looking strap but the quality wasn't what I expected. I have a lot of Artisan straps, so I don't mean to be too harsh. They make great straps and maybe this was a one off. (I did get this one off clearance). The crocodile scales feel like it will peel off against the leather with use. I will still rock it as it looks really elegant.
Hi John,
Thank you for your review and purchase!
The clearance strap you ordered is described to have overlapping scales as shown in your photo. However, you can be sure the scale won't peel off with wear and the leather is structurally sound. The overlapping scales occur because the tail scales are larger and bumpier and when pressed flat, it's pressed ontop of itself creating the appearance that there is an overlap.
I love the black on beige combo. Looks soooo classy! Delivery was quick and product was exactly what I expected!
Bought the nubuck strap to pair with my GS SBGX347 - the near matte finish of nubuck perfectly suits the watch - really highlights the polished case finish! The strap itself is perfectly crafted - no imperfections. By nature, nubuck is quite matte and therefore does not reflect light hence why the strap in the photo seems flat in colour. Thanks Jayson and team!
