I’m new to the watch community. I decided to start my collection on a budget with a Timex Weekender and wanted a leather strap to replace the fabric version and make my first timepiece a little more professional. I ordered a Fluco Casablanca in Whiskey Leather and loved the color. But due to some kind of manufacturing error, the slit housing the quick-release toggle was cut too closely to the edge of the strap, and when my wrist brushed against a doorpost at work, the strap tore and my watch fell to the ground. I emailed Holben’s, received a response within hours, and was sent a brand-new strap free of charge. I’ve been using this strap for four months now and have noticed no issues. In fact, it's improved with age. Holben’s sells great products and stands behind them. I look forward to many more purchases as I grow my collection!
High quality strap that works well with the Damasko. Thanks Fluco and Holben's!
Another excellent Fluco watch band… Nice smooth leather, lightly padded and very nice polished buckle…! Very nice and I recommend…
This is my 6th purchase & certainly not the last purchase from Holbens! As usual, I received the strap in 36 hours after placing the order!! I live in the SE & the merchant is in west coast!!
The strap is very comfortable & fits perfectly on my Revue Thommen Heritage automatic watch. I replaced the buckle with the original Revue Thommen buckle. Very happy customer & will be returning here soon. 😊
This watch strap is extremely comfortable and looks fantastic with my seiko 53kx just look at my pics below to see, very happy indeed! 😊
Excellent smooth finished band in black by Fluco.. I did change out the buckle and put the Hamilton buckle on the strap but the strap comes with a very high quality polished one… See other photos.. Recommend Holben’s without hesitation, my go to place for watch bands…!
I have already written a review on this one in Whiskey and here’s one in the Olive/Taupe color and it’s very nice… Love this color on a Hamilton Khaki King switch the champagne/tan dial… The Fluco Casablanca is made from real nice and firm cowhide leather and wears comfortably… Very good quality and very good value for your money … Of course purchased from right here at Holben’s, where the service is impeccable…! Can’t recommend more highly… GG
Have quite a few of these Fluco bands and they are all a great buy for the money… Outstanding really… Very nice leather and as always a very nice buckle on these Fluco bands… Love this band and I put it on a MT GMT and it really looks and wears great….! Can’t beat Holben’s for watch bands and great service, the best…!
I couldn't have been happier with my purchase. I usually buy straps from Amazon but finally decided that for my Seiko Baby Snowflake it was going to be different. So happy to have discovered this website. The strap came exactly as pictured and arrived in great time. What I wanted was this specific sort-of light brown color as well as being from a quality brand. That's exactly what I got too. Will definitely be buying more from Fluco and Holben's in the future.
I had ordered a replacement watch band from Amazon and it didn’t look anything like what was described or what was pictured (CHEAP!). After searching around on the internet I found this site and decided to go with it. I’m glad I did. It was exactly what I was looking for (color, quality, thickness, etc.). I did order the brushed ss buckle which I would highly recommend. Pic below...
Really good quality and looks great! Fluco’s quality never disappoints.
Paired it with my Seiko DressKX srpe57 Black dial and it works perfectly. I also tried it with my old 1603 Datejust for a new look. I was recommended Holbens by a friend and loved the variety and options as well as the
I am always blown away by the quality of Fluco leather watch bands. The leather is soft and of great build quality. The band is a little more firm but not uncomfortable. After break-in, it should be great! This has been my fourth addition to my collection and I will be buying more!
I heard on the news today that inflation is at a record high, this band is a real value. Great leather, well made, feels great on my wrist. This band is on my Seiko Air Diver X series. I don't dive anymore so I like a leather band more than a bracelet. I am a very happy camper and I would tell anyone to buy this band with confidence. Holben's is a small company that will give you great personal service. They say word of mouth is the best advertisement, trust me I will buy my next band from Holben and tell my friends about them.
I have a Hamilton field watch that came with a brown band very similar to this one. The black version of the one that came with the watch is 100 bucks. This band is very similar in looks and is better quality at half the price! Holbens is my go to watchband source!
This is the 3rd band I have bought and they are all excellent quality and look !
I have no complaints just some observations about the strap. The leather is softer and more flexible than I imagined it would be, but this is not a bad thing as it makes the strap very comfortable and doesn’t require breaking it in. The leather seemed a little bit dry for my liking so I applied some colorless leather oil which made it a lot smoother and slightly darker. Really impressed with the quality for $30. A lot of leather straps at this price point seem to have almost a plastic like look, and this is without a doubt genuine, quality leather. Would recommend
True value.
Fantastic leather strap. I have had it for a year now and the stitching is still perfect and the leather has worn in nicely. My second Fluco strap. Will be ordering more in the future.
Good quality, only 1 suggestion is if they had more x lg sizes for my 19cm wrist.
The color doesn't quite match the photo, the leather doesn't quite have the dark rust/brown. It's noticeably lighter. Because of this, I ended up putting the strap on a different watch face. That being said, it looks absolutely beautiful on my Seiko SKX013. Since receiving the strap the watch hasn't been on a single other band (once summer beach days hit, that'll change of course). The quality of the leather is excellent. My only quality qualm is the buckle. It's just a little cheap looking, being fully chrome rather than brushed. Regardless, worth much more than $30, so it's an excellent buy!
