It’s the Australian Open at the moment. All this Rolex talk is to be expected

It’s time watch makers stopped selling alligator straps, and indeed people stopped choosing them. The alligators are farmed and then killed by inserting a sharp rod into their brains, which are mashed. All to produce a luxury good that nobody needs. There are some really good embossed alligator straps around, made from standard leather, which is a much better alternative. And this is a positive advantage for Rolex, who almost exclusively use metal bracelets.

The above strap is ‘faux’. I agree with you though and wouldn’t want any alligators to die for fashion.
Nice, I like the tan face Ranger
Thanks. I see that it is a bit too shiny compared to the real deal.
Always loved the look of those B&R watches. My wrist is too tiny to sport one though…
It’s actually the BRS, so it’s smaller than the usual BR01 etc.

Finally Friday.
My late grandfathers 14k cal 88 Sunday watch. After he passed in 1970, it was in a drawer until 2010 where I got it. The dial got sent to Switzerland for a service. It sits on a Kuki Flex croco strap with an IWC buckle.

I see Kuki Flex straps are made from “carefully selected alligator,crocodile”
Death and vanity.

You are a vegan I suppose?
Is it OK to raise pigs just to eat the meat?
Both alligator and crocodile meat are eaten by humans.
No I just like Alligators and Crocodiles.

Nice strap.
I have been trying to find a new strap for my maurice lacroix watch (with butterfly clasp).
Not easy. Original is a 22mm lug reducing to 18mm at clasp. Was a blue alligator strap.
Could buy a genuine one from watch company but 500 quid is a big cost.
Searching on line most are same width, etc.
Checked site for your strap but not a tapering option
Will keep looking
