Has anyone got one of these new vintage GPF rep straps?

They look nice, but speaking of leather straps a good look does not necessarily mean good quality :)

I know buddy, that's why I asked for some opinions before I order it. :) You know I love custom straps but this one intrigued me as it's completely different from other rep straps and for price it looks decent.

At least a view from the side could help a bit to understand if its made of genuine leather. It really looks nice and the price is quite interesting.
Hopefully someone can serve us some first hand impressions.

Btw, totally OT, I saw your GTXL... Great!!! :thumbsup:
I always wanted one of those but with the grey dial :)

Yeah, you're right. Hopefully someone has one and can share some pics and opinions, if not, I'll be the first one to try it out.
Hehe thanks mate! :) It's really stunning watch but it was described as mint which it isn't so I have to give it some CapeCod treatment and hands are also full of dirt so I have to open it up and clean them. OEM strap is great but I think it will go on m2m soon as I love the look on rubber strap.
I always wanted one of these and every time they pop in m2m they are grey or white which I'm not fan of, finally I managed to pick black one, just wish it doesn't have above mentioned failures. :(

Let me know if you need the rubber strap 'cause I have one unused :)
I know how it feels when you get a beat up watch. Soon as I finished fixing it I'm going to post how did I receive a Milgauss a couple of months ago... on the bright side it's a joy to work on watches :)

Thanks bud but I got one unused with a watch. ;) It is a joy but I love my watches in mint condition or as near to it as possible and sometimes damages can't be fixed that easy. :(
