This is the second of these straps I've purchased. The first one is on my 34mm 1981 Rolex Explorer and, after replacing the buckle that came with the strap with the original signed Rolex buckle. This is a fantastic strap and I'd recommend it to anyone. It looks great, it's solid and ColaReb makes a fantastic strap.
I liked the first one so much that I wanted one for another watch that I have coming!
This is the most comfortable leather strap I have ever owned. Paired with an Orient Bambino and could not be more pleased. Would not hesitate to purchase again!
This watchband was delivered promptly and is very high-quality. Very happy with the look and feel of the watchband
My new Accutron Legacy RR-0 came with a nice smooth leather band (no stitching) except that it used a deployant closure. Not for me! This ColaReb strap was a perfect match with a normal buckle. This is my second ColaReb and I'm not disappointed!
Really nice strap, when I got it the quick release spring bars were too short, however Holben’s was quick to offer new spring bars for free. I had already ordered extra spring bars with the band, so instead they showed me how to swap them out. I’m very happy with the strap, and very impressed with the customer service!
Here is the strap on my vintage seamaster cosmic:
I am wearing this with my Todd Snyder x Timex 1976 Lexington Watch - looks great and I much prefer it to the stock tan strap!
The ColaReb Essential in Brown pairs very nicely with the Seagull 1963 Chronograph.
Right away you’ll feel the richness of the leather and the comfort it offers.
I love the clean look of this strap. No doubt it will develop a nice patina over time. A high quality watch strap at a reasonable price is the ColaReb Essential.
Great strap for the price! Looks great on my IWC Mark XX black dial.
I love these straps, and they are really well made. There was a slight problem with the length of the pins/bars and mike was kind enough to send a few additional ones. I would buy again fro them. This is for sure quality stuff. And I could not really find this particular light brown. Love it.
Good value excellent quality
Want to say that this is a perfectly good watch strap, not great, but pretty good. I think at this price point, you could probably find a better strap. To some degree, you are paying for the brand name, which is fine. ColaReb makes a great product and this leather strap is no exception. It's great, but for the price, I think better value can be found elsewhere. That being said, the leather is very soft and breaks-in super fast and looks really good on just about any watch I put it on.
The Essential Brown strap is quite good. Nice mid-brown shade. The band is smooth and the leather is solid quality with a good feel. Two wears was enough to break in the strap. Very pleased with the purchase.
Fit perfect on my 7.25 in wrist. Strap can be dressed up or down.
The ColaReb Essential brown strap is one of the nicest leather straps I've worn at any price. Can't go wrong with this model in any color.
The ColaReb Essential strap is perhaps the best value in any leather strap offered. Beautiful leather with no frills to distract from your timepiece.
ColaReb is making some of the most beautiful straps at any price point. This one is no exception. The Essential straps really complement your watch.
this is my fifth watch band from colareb and as always the quality is excellent they never disappoint and the service from holbens is the best i ordered my band on saturday morning and it was shipped the same day.
I’ve been searching high & low for a 19mm band for my Yema Superman and the is is perfect. Minimalist design and super high quality! Many more Holben’s purchases to come!
A solid black leather strap is always needed for a watch. This one from Colareb does the job right. I like that it tapers to 16mm. It makes it more comfortable and breathable. The leather is soft and breaks in quickly.
This has quickly become one of my favorite watch straps for casual and even sometimes dress occasions. It's extremely versatile and complimentary to most watch styles and broke in beautifully. Sizing is accurate, the it has a very nice taper (width). I would suggest pairing to a watch with chunkier lugs, as it is on the ticker side. Shipping was lightning fast as always from Holbens, and communication with them is always prompt and informative.
The cognac colereb strap is made well and the color is just right. Wish it was a litter thinner for my wife’s small wrist but I knew what I was getting.
The leather quality, texture, and color are so gorgeous!
For the price, this is a very well made strap. A little stiffer than the suede strap it replaces but more durable. Also, great for larger, heavier watches.
I wanted a plain black strap for my CW C63, so it would pair well with a black suit. The strap is well made, comfortable, and looks both casual and dressy.
It's my third Colareb strap, and definitely won't be my last.
This Colareb Essential strap is just what I wanted: a straightforward, simple, well-made strap that fits well on my wrist. Originally, I had a bit of difficulty with the quick release mechanism, but once I got it to work, it worked every time. I like the smooth leather, and the blue color pairs well with several of my watches.
Very nice watch band, when it arrived unfortunately the quick release spring bars were too small, however the customer service was excellent and quickly resolved my issue
American company, beautiful strap, at a great price plus top service = Holbens!! I found a classic leather strap that perfectly suits my Stowa Marine watch and feels buttery smooth TOO!
