What do yall think of the rep croco straps?

I've heard the rep leather straps that the 111 comes on is a red flag and that the rubber one is the most OEM.

How about the croco ones? More specifically the brown croco one? I haven't seen many pictures of people ordering it.

Check Kain's alligator strap

I didn't mind my black croc on my old 111v2, but it's definitely no where near what a custom or oem strap would feel like.

In a word...crap.
IMO the clasps are rubbish as is the leather. Aftermarket is the way forward, the Matterhorn I had from Reg was 1000 times better.

Just a buy a strap from one of our strap makers. You'll be much happier.

You sure it is gen croc? From the photo, it looks like a standard calf with croc print, if so then it is plasticky crap and not worth keeping.

In the original post, he was saying the rubber strap was most like OEM.

The real croc straps are so much better ..... rep straps are not in the same league by far!

damn haha so when buying a 111 I should have told the vendor to find me a good one despite which strap it was on?

Basically. I'd be more worried about correct dial and long enough micro-screw on swan neck before the strap.

Just get it on rubber and source your own leather strap from a strap maker .

is it just the feel or the look also? the brown croco looks good to me lol, i might try to age it and make it look vintage while i order a custom strap then. thanks!
