i love it !! Best, mahesh.,
I think the lugs are not a big deal but that small screw on the clasp is a 🤕
I see there are fellow shoe nerds in this forum (unsurprisingly)
I like the idea of extending the service life by means of treatment, but I've found that the limiting factors for my straps are the (generally) calf skin on the underside of the strap or the gouging of the strap holes. Did you treat both sides of the strap with wax or just the alligator leather on the top? Best, Tim
and the strap holes are rock solid with foldover clasp ,in case someone use tang buckle that s a different story.I wear my straps bit of a lose side and very seldom during the summer then my metal bracelet watches on duty
1.just wax it (both sides ) 2.leave it for overnight(or for a couple of hours) 3.polish (basically wipe off the surplus wax) the strap
