Love it, but it broke my heart and almost my watch.
Ok first thing first I have a big 8.5 inch wrist and it fits beautifully with holes to spare.The leather is super soft and break-in is quick and not like other leather that are so stiff they cause the watch not to sit right.The color and crazy horse style texture is absolutely beautiful, it's rich and elegant. The stitching is fantastic and no loose strands.Now why 3 stars when it deserves 5? The damn buckle. The prong on the bucks keeps slipping under the frame. Absolutly cheap buckle that should not be on such a beautiful strap. When that prong slips the buckle will open and the watch will fly off your wrist. So becarful. I would replace the buckle with something sturdy like I did in my pics. But for the price and the quality of the strap itself I would get another but mod the buckle as well.

Cheap watch band, didn't last
This watch band went on quickly and is comfortable. There are two problems with this watch band. The first is the problem of the metal nub (the quick release nub) on the upper piece falling off. That makes it very hard to take that half of the watch band off without destroying it. An older style watch band that doesn't have the quick release has a rim on the spring loaded pin that allows you to push the pin down and to get the band off of the watch. If the nub is gone on a band with a quick release you can't easily get the band off-if you want to change bands. You pretty much have to get a pair of pliers and twist it, destroying the metal pin and making the band useless.Second problem. The strap loop closest to the buckle broke and became useless. I don't play any contact sports or do anything like that with this watch on. It's lasted about three months.

Ritchie has a winner ...
My second Ritchie and it’s a wonderful piece. Put on my Tommy Bahama, one of my longest owned watches and with huge sentimental value. The strap gives it new life. The color is one I love, the leather is a tad stiff but I’ve been wearing it for several days and it’s getting more supple as time goes by. The size is perfect for my 7” wrist, with three holes left if I shrink and need it tighter. My only little gripe is that the fixed keeper is a bit too close to the buckle, making it hard for the new leather to bend easily through. It’s getting better already and in a few days I don’t believe it will be an issue. All in all, it’s a great job at an amazing price. Two thumbs up!!

Great looking high quality full leather watch band and super easy to install
I got the 22mm saddle brown band with white stitching and silver buckle and it really looks great on my Suunto X-Lander watch. I could no longer find the original leather bands from Suunto for this watch and I'm glad they don't make them any longer as this led me to the Ritche band. This band is far superior to the original leather band as it is a bit thicker with a much easier pin release system for an easier install. Of course I had to first get the original band off and that was the hardest part of the install but after that install was a breeze.And I love the huge selection Ritche provides - many colors complimented with at least 4-5 different stitching colors and 3 buckle colors for each color of leather and a huge selection of sizes. That is incredible in my opinion. Be sure to measure correctly since even 1mm makes a big difference. But it is very easy to measure accurately, so that should not be a problem. My original band was black and this saddle brown not only looks great but also gives the watch a totally different look. I'm going to order another one or so in different color leathers and stitching so I can periodically switch bands and not wait for one to wear out, which in this case could be 2-3 years. The install is that easy. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic strap - another homerun for Ritche!
Let's start with this: Where else are you going to get a *Top Grain* leather strap in this price range? Exactly, no where else. But that is what you are getting here. This is a quality leather strap that you might spend 3 to 4 times as much if you went through an Authorized Dealer.I was looking for a good leather strap to match up with my Seiko Alpinist. As many know, the leather strap that comes with the Alpinist leaves a lot to be desired. I looked at several options and nothing really caught my eye until I saw this Ritche strap in toffee. So I took a chance, knowing that pictures on computers may look different than what an item looks like in real life (differences in monitors, lighting, etc.) When I received this strap, I was very pleasantly surprised. Not only did the color work very well with the Alpinist, but the fit and finish of this strap make it an all-around great match for that iconic watch.As with other padded leather straps, it takes bit of time to "break in", meaning it is a bit stiff the first time you wear it. However, after a full day, this strap had conformed perfectly to my wrist and is incredibly comfortable. The color, also, will show some changes, as in small lines of lighter color, like other pull up leathers. The result is the look of an elegant leather that has aged (patina).I am so taken with this (and other Ritche products) that I'm sure I will be purchasing more in the near future.

Smells like leather..
This is a quality watch band. I replaced my bracelet style bands on an old 1999 shiny chrome Swiss army watch and it made my old watch look like a brand new modern watch, even the claspe matches. The leather is thick and a bit stiff as it should be for new leather. The stitching is nice and even. Not sure how it holds up to water, might want to condition somewhat, but over all not bad, especially for the price. I ended up reusing the old pins as the new ones were to long (swiss army has odd lengths). These bands came with some nice built in easy to install slide pins of which you just pull back the latch pin set one side of the pin into the watch hole and just line up the other side and let go, Easy. Good looking watch band at a decent price, recommend...

Pierde el color con el primer uso
La piel se siente muy suave, el largo de la correa es adecuado para muñecas delgadas, la hebilla es brillante. Sin embargo, con la primer puesta perdió el color, las pequeñas bandas para sujetar la correa al colocarse el reloj en la muñeca quedan demasiado flojas y hace que la correa se salga con el paso de las horas, desde el primer uso queda muy notoria la marca de uso que hace la hebilla al abrochar la correa.

Buena Calidad.
La primera impresión es que es de buena calidad, el color es igual al de las imágenes. Muy fácil de instalar. Esperemos que al pasar los días la calidad se note aún más. Buena sensación al tacto.

Se ve mejor en las fotos del anuncio
La calidad no es parecida a ls fotos del anuncio. Además empiezan en 20mm de espesor pero son de ls correas que empiezan anchas y terminan más delgadas, como reloj antiguo. (No la misma medida de principio a fin)
