Ha ha… I can’t tell from this pic as I can’t see the label. They have 3 other products that look virtually identical but are not the same. These are Renovateur, Nappa cream and Cream 1925. All excellent but not for this purpose.
The key point is that this one is Neatsfoot oil based and does not contain any waxes or grease. You don’t want that on a watch strap (or a belt etc.) This also doesn’t darken the colour.
You can use many different things. Some work, some don’t or less good. I picked this up from a watch magazine a few years ago and I haven’t found anything better yet.
Where did you buy the strap and how much would something like that cost.
Looking for a strap for my Tudor Black Bay 58 - I bought it with the leather strap (possibly a mistake but I only need one watch and it should out live me) - the Tudor leather strap clasp is a bit agricultural.
Look at Bulang but I’d rather see the strap before splashing out on £100.
Toshi straps… all hand made and multitude of leathers. Approx 4mm thick and most of his are £100 - £130 . Different sizes and stitching colours to chose. They are wonderful things.
I think you can. But only towards a darker tone obviously. Besides colourless they also have black and two browns. The tricky bits are the stitches as you don’t know exactly how they respond to the coloured cream.
While I have no issue with using non-original straps, and regularly change them. I do have a thing for wanting to use the original buckle/clasp. So that does restrict me in taper/no taper.
I somehow end up never quite liking the OEM ones (or get bored quickly not sure?) so have a couple of straps to rotate. Anyway, certainly cheaper to change the strap than buy a new watch!
I have a couple of Toshi straps. They are beautifully made with lovely leather. But they are thick. When you add the keeper you end up with about 1cm of strap on the inside of your wrist, and when you are using the mouse it becomes a damn nuisance.
I have one on these and it is excellent. I have one for my Panerai. But it is thick as others have said. No issue with the Panerai but for a more delicate watch is may be more of an issue.
They are not specifically made for Panerai but simply go particularly well with them. Richard, Mr Toshi, is a big fan of Panerai and thus they get used in the strap pictures. When I had a Toshi on a Rolex the lug end of the strap had to be made extra thin, and even then it rubbed.
It is simple, easy to read, well made and people that don’t know watches won’t notice it.
The chap I buy my HiFi from has one and he was surprised I knew what it was. My dilemma was Panerai or upgrade the Uniti Star to an Altair G2.1. The Altair won, but it was very close. Maybe one day.
