“Looks and feels really nice but certainly not weathered like in the photos. I mentioned buying a Barton band to a friend of mine and he laughed and asked if it was one of those weathered ones that look completely even and new. So I said yes, that’s exactly it and we had a laugh about it. I still love and recommend it.”
“This seems to be a good quality band, although within a few days of installing it my Timex case started rubbing away the surface coloration on one strap. That has been the only disappointment. The original leather band that came on the watch did not display this wear mark even after 2+ years of wearing almost every day.”
