Looking to replace the rep crocodile black strap with the gen. Where is the best place to check? I don’t really trust eBay.

My wrist size is 15.87cm or 6.25 inches.

If it were a 44mm Luminor, I'd say something close to 110/65. You might want to search the sales section and pick up a couple of cheap used straps of different lengths (but close that length) to see what works best for you.

What about a 105/65 size. I never seen or touched one, but is a genuine croc strap softer than the rep? Would anyone know that the rep croc strap is 100% fake.

Measure the strap that's on there now, work out what the ideal size for you is and deduct the excess from the size of the current strap.
The buckle end should place the buckle square in the middle of the back of your wrist or slightly to the tail side and the tail should be long enough to leave a suitable amount to go thru the keepers.

Does this look as it should on my wrist?

Yup, main this is that it's comfortable in that position.

What would the most flexible, softest strap be. I just don’t prefer a strap that’s stiff on the wrist.

paneristi or chrono24 would be the best guess...

Does everyone think the rep strap is too stiff? Is the gen strap softer at all?

I have a black gen gator 24/22 to sell for deployant. It’s the semimat version black, black thread and black leather in the back (not the older cream one).
Let me know if that could interest you.

Do you have the gen paperwork and certificate
