Alligator calf leather strap for Breguet watch
I ordered an alligator + calf leather strap for a Breguet watch. They were professional and handled my order well. The leather seemed to be of good quality, however the tanning was not done properly but looks spray painted to match colour of order. The layer of spray pain started to peel off around alligator skin scales where the strap bends mostly. Also, However, the metal adapter on the curved strap where it is supposed to fit into the watch strap bay was protruding out too much and it was straight than curved blunt as the original strap had. IT DID NOT FIT THE WATCH. I tried several times, it only scraped and scratched my good watch's beautiful lug bay. The metal parts were protruding out too much and prevent the strap from going in to align with springbar slots on the watch lugs. Since they did not offfer any solution, I had to sand off excess metal adapter protrusions with a fine mini grinder and it now fitted perfectly. This means it was not properly done to Breguet's tolerances at factory. I wish they did a better job at these important part of the product where mounting on the watch needs to be secure, hassel free and not damaging to the watch. Bit disappointed. The strap was stitched well and the product overall quality seems good. Only tome cpuld tell how long it would last. Now I have to find identical leather polish or stainer to fix the peel off areas. This is not very good.
