Replacement Band Review

Purchased the ‘Croc Embossed Leather’ replacement strap for my much loved watch after old one slowly disintegrated over 5/6 years (makes sense). Loved the original leather strap and was hoping for identical replacement but couldn’t find it, so went with this option. Does not feel warranted to charge 70$ - leather feels thinner, does not feel as well made… arrived in seal plastic with ‘Thailand’ sticker on it in fancier ‘Citizen’ type cloth. Will continue to buy their watches as they are amazing pieces (got my eye on blue/green diver one next), but disappointed with this replacement considering quality of their watches.
