This is an absolutely beautiful watch strap. Proportionally the extra padding creates visual appeal without looking bulky, it is very soft and comfortable, and the cordovan is absolutely gorgeous. I wanted to watch strap that would last a very long time and cordovan certainly will. The quality of the pins is great, and Horween still does great work. I am very happy with my purchase and very much recommend Fluco watch bands. I've had a great experience with Holbens and wholeheartedly recommend the store. I certainly will be back.
This is an excellent strap for its price. A nice addition to my seiko alpinist.
Padded at the lugs, thin at the buckle which is smart. Just the thing for a change of pace for my Seiko Presage. I realized after I wore it for a day on the butterfly deployant that because of how thin the strap is at the buckle, it actually is more comfortable on the supplied buckle.
Purchased this strap 3 weeks ago to switch out the steel bracelet on my Speedy. So far I’ve been impressed with how fast I received my order. The quality of the leather, the strap design itself and the finish is quite impressive as well. Feels quite supple and already taken the shape of my wrist. They say that Horween SC gets better with time so I’ll try to post update in a few months. So far I’m very happy with my purchase and I would definitely recommend.
Very pleased with the strap, particularly for the price. The stitching and edges are good, and overall it hits a good, flexible middle ground between casual and smart.
Overall a nice strap for the money. Most shell cordovan straps are minimum $100 and can run in the $200 range, so to get one for $75 is a bargain. The Horween shell and buckle are excellent, for the stitching and edges I'd give a 4/5 but again for the price more than adequate.
The only FYI I'd add is I use the final hole on my 6 3/4 inch wrist and even then it's a tiny bit loose, so if your wrist is any smaller than mine you might want to get the non-padded equivalent which offers a short version. Unfortunately they don't offer that option for the padded one here.
I've bought several great shell cordovan straps from Holben's, and this one is no exception. The brown color is beautiful and has depth, which I appreciate over the black shell I generally wear. All Fluco straps I've owned have been well constructed and long lasting. The padding is also perfect; not too thick or thin, but just right. The stitching is even and the right thickness to wear in both dressy and more casual situations. I've found that these Fluco padded straps are very versatile in this regard, and can highly recommend them for daily use.
I can’t help but notice i’ve bought probably close to 100 different Apple Watch bands and bracelets over the years and usually you put them on the watch and forget it till it’s time for a change but in the case of this beautiful shell cordovan strap classic I find myself every now and again admiring it I will be buying more.
Purchased a shell cordovan strap. The strap was high quality, the shipping was lightning-fast, and the communication responsive and thoughtful, as always.
Shell Cordovan is my go-to material for leather straps. It's beautiful, soft, resilient, very water resistant and holds up well to sweat too. Of all the shell straps out there, Fluco is among the most reasonably priced, and the quality is outstanding. I am very happy with the service I received from Holbens as well, which is top notch!
This is an extraordinary band at a good price. Very satisfied.
Like any watch collector, I have a lot of straps from Alligator, lizard, ostrich, and other types of leather.
This Horween shell cordovan leather, however, is exceptional for use on my Longines VHP sports watch.
It's tough, elegant, and it feels "rich". You can tell it's a high-quality (and almost indestructible) strap. It was also priced well and delivered quickly.
I'm a big fan of Holben's
Another high quality band from Holbens. Thanks!
This band really tied it all together on a popular Swiss, mid level, luxury watch. The original strap was trying a bit too hard style wise and I prefer a pin buckle on a strap rather than a deployant on a strap. Who needs the extra weight and thickness?
Fabulous watchband and no better seller anywhere!
