Fab quality and good value! - The strap arrived promptly (2 days) which is great all things considered (in the midst of the pandemic!). The packing was good affording the strap protection during shipping (also received their branded cleaning cloth and pen as freebies). This is my second order with Watch Gecko and both orders were swiftly fulfilled giving me lots of confidence about this brand. The strap itself is fantastic. It resembles the strap as pictured in the photos closely and I am glad I chose the Reddish Brown colourway - it's rich, characterful and compliments my Seiko watch well. It's well made - has that over-engineered feeling, and the hand-stitching is tidy. It's quite a thick strap, being 4mm at the lugs, and 3mm at the tongue. I suspect it will becoming increasingly soft and supple with age., while it's a little stiff when new. The leather pattern is lovely too lending the strap a vintage aesthetic. Equally reassuring, smells of high quality leather too, Quick release bars make installation easy and seem to be solid, just like the buckle which has a classy polished finish. Overall I am delighted with this strap, especially as I secured it with a Black Friday discount. Nice one Watch Gecko!
