The straps being sold legally in the EU have to have a CITES permit.
And if it died of natural causes....I don’t know.
How about some hippo for the Railmaster?
Although I think this strap will look best on the Seamaster 300. Will try that out later. ...
Ooo you are a really evil beastmaster
Arie, First dinosaur chicken and now hippopotamus...? Are you working through the Zoo? It does match the vintage look of a wrinkled used strap though. I hope the hippo died of natural causes Regards, MTF

There are many hippos in the world
Arie, Sure.. No problem. I was only kidding. CITES accreditation suffices and it's not on the endangered species list. Nobody has found a way to breed them in captivity....as if anyone would try They seem quite deadly by all accounts. I was most surprised...
Very cool look!
Similar to pachyderm at a distance yet distinct up close. Must take a look at them
Don't believe I've ever come across hippo hide before . . .
. . . as a strap material, but, interestingly enough, I have come across elephant hide for pool cue handles. It's supposedly the best in functional terms, even better than traditional Irish linen. Art
