Anyone bought a Bob marino calf strap? The seller told me its made of barenia leather like the OEMs. Would love to see pics, cheers.

Thanks for the links. The main difference with the calf strap is the sheen on the gen and I thought the Marino one had a similar sheen but its hard to tell. The normal Bob is pure matte, I have one, and its a good price but no where near OEM. I also have a black croco and will probably get a brown croco as well as these are the best croc straps Ive come across, don't like croc grain straps.

If you want a great quality alligator strap made for a Breitling at much lower cost than OEM, try the Camille Fournet Elysee - www.watchstyle.com and click on alligator (won't let me give a direct link to the strap). These will be my new Breitling exotic straps. I'm not paying $600 anymore - just not.

Thanks they look very nice, except no sheen. I would only buy a lightly used croco on Tang, Id never spend over £300 on a strap. I even spent less on a Patek Nautilus alligator strap.

:yeahthat One of my mates has a Camille Fournet strap on his Skyracer and it looks the business. Very nice quality and a hefty discount compared to OEM. I still like OEM the best, but you don't half pay for it when you buy croco.
