I purchased a new Kain strap from his advertisement over on the gen forum (n54) which included a 15% discount and have to say this is an AWESOME strap at a great price. I ordered 9 Days ago and frankly it would have been here at least 2 days sooner but usps misrouted it.

The strap is really nice leather, reminds me a of a new ball glove and has the smell of a new pair of johnston and murphy's. It's a little stiff but I can already feel it loosen as I'm wearing it. The edges are well done and finished black and the buckle is excellent. I got the Xiran Polished buckle which has the sub and rounded edges. This band was originally for a 219L I bought but it arrived F*CK*D. So while I wait for a new movement and dial to come I threw it on the 250 I received from Fiddo (thanks again!).

In addition to the strap and buckle my $82 shipped include a really nice leather carrying case which would be perfect for a watch, and a smaller leather strap/tool case, and a warranty card. I have to say this is one of the best value straps out there.

How is the quality of the gator? Was thinking of getting one next... Nevermind see at the bottom of your post that it's excellent.

the quality is excellent, nicely finished edges as you described also nice and thick. it kind of tends to bend naturally along the grain so it holds kind off like a hex shape rather than a curve which when on the wrist i think looks really good. (if you understand what i mean)

ill post a pic:)

Hey Supermanx - is your strap the xiran sub vintage brown with charcoal stitch? I've been checking out the Kain straps for a while and would like to compare real life pics to what is on their site.

Thanks!
