Christianch shares his experience replacing a Rubber B strap with a new Kaufmann alligator strap for his H. Moser Endeavour Tourbillon. Dissatisfied with the feel and fit of the rubber, he sought a more luxurious and comfortable alternative, ultimately finding a perfect color match and superior quality in the German-made alligator strap.

Turns out that the Rubber B strap did look like alligator but, being rubber, really felt 100% rubber 😅 too stiff and I didn't like how the watch sitted on my wrist with it(very tight on the sides, a gap on the top).

So, taking advantage of the sunny day 🌞 I visited a local AD that has the perfect shade of blue I wanted! The brand of the strap is Kaufmann and is hand made in Germany

Really love the color and shiny alligator. It is very comfortable on the wrist. Price was the same or slightly less than the rubber B one (!)

I feel it fits the dial perfectly !

I am super happy with the quality. It is really top, super comfortable and an amazing colour. I saw a lot of French strap manufacturers in the forum (I also have one on order) so I thought it would be nice to point out some great alternatives.

What do you think ?

Thanks for watching! Christian
