Hey guys…figured Id come to the experts…I have an ammo strap below thats cracking a bit in various places (you can see the biggest on the bottom). I dont mind a little distress, but wondering what the solution is to avoid too much happening. Im thinking conditioning, but dont want to try a random brand without getting some input…any suggestions?

Now that Ive asked for help...

Heres something more fitting for this thread... custom Hamilton Leather Works (before he retired) Hornback Crocodile. Got it probably 10yrs ago...well worn and loved. Feels like a part of me when I wear it. It belongs to my 253, Ive never put it on another watch and never will.

My brand new pam1316 (though I think it's a pam1313 with a swapped strap to metal bracelet by the local seller) with the only spare strap I had to replace the meh metal bracelet.
It wasn't expecting to look so sexy! Miles better than the metal bracelet.
Now which colors for the next strap on this watch? Light brown, dark blue like the original pam1313, olive khaki...?
I like the light brown on mine. Feel like it fits for such a classy looking watch and good contrast with the dial. Sword strap. Indoors at night so dial giving more purple vibes

Been a fan of canvas since day 1, thought I should at least try leather

Contacted Sornsan and asked by any chance he can source Togo leather of something similar (soft) and he did his magic

What strap noob i am! I had no idea a metal tube enforcement existed until i swabs out a OEM strap that came with the Bronzo. None of my customized straps that I'd odered came with one. So i searched on Ali and bought a few - pretty inexpensive. They reminded me of hole reinforcement stickers when using the 3-holes puncher.
