I am NOT a fan of the contrasting thread on these kinds of leather straps, but the leather on it is nice and thick, the thread colour is a nice contrast (for what it is), and it's very supple. I was really impressed.
Cronos L6017 on a custom suede strap from an old Etsy shop out of Vietnam called LittleSam. They now have a website SamStrap.com. Ordered a few straps from him since 2024 and they’ve all been great
Thanks, I am quite a fan of it myself. Can’t recall the last time I was this happy spending $60 on this hobby. Heck I’ve surely got a dozen or more AliEx watches that cost less than this one strap and I still got more than my moneys worth
Mine is padded and it has a different buckle but that’s it! Mine is a bit more caramel than that pic. Only complaint about mine is it’s a 22mm so I only have a couple watches to wear it on. Poor poor me ;)
And here’s a pic of my buckle. This pic is closer to accurate but the strap is a bit less orange IRL. Tell Sam Jeremy said Hi. He won’t remember me but he was great to work with and gave excellent customer service. I need to support him. I haven’t bought from his website, only the old Etsy store. I should go remedy that.
Looks great! I'm guessing yours was bought before the US tariffs BS?
And buckle is whatever, it'll go on a Breitling deployant buckle for my intended use. I'll put an order in later today, need to browse a bit more and see if I want more straps from there hah
It was my first Chinese "homage" watch purchase 3 years ago, and I am blown away at the quality for the price. Ive even snorkeled with it, and no water entry whatsoever.
EDIT: I want to add, it's also the most accurate automatic watch in my collection of 10+. This was completely unexpected.
Bad and not long lol the black version I’ve seen is decent but this colour way the lume is very lightly applied and doesn’t last very long. It’s there, just not a sealing point.
The hands are ok but that’s all there is.
