I bought this 21mm band to replace the original on my Orient Bambino watch. At the same time, I bought the exact band that originally came with the watch, but doubtful I’ll ever place it on the watch. The Holben’s band is a serious upgrade and is a great match to some belts and shoes I have already. This is a top-quality product worthy of matching with any high-priced watch.
Picked up an Orient Bambino to use as a “casual dress watch” but the band wasn’t wonderful…also didn’t match my dress belt/shoes. This band matches almost perfectly but not so close that it looks tacky. If this kind of quality continues across the line, I’ll be making this place my first stop for strap needs in the future. For the money, this really can’t be beat!
It’s always hard to find nice 21mm straps. This Hardley Roma is a killer value.
Recently put this strap on my Seiko SNKL23 and it's such an improvement over the stock metal bracelet. The brown pairs really well with the black dial, and I love the look of the alligator grain. The strap was quite stiff when I first put it on but after several wears it is already becoming softer and more supple. I'm very happy with this strap. Hadley Roma is one of my new favourites.
I thought the color could have been too light when I ordered it, but in person it is perfect. The calfskin is buttery smooth. Buckle is almost the same shade of gold as my timepiece. The strap is tough at first, but excited to see how is holds up over time. Breathed new life into an old watch.
The band looks quite nice, but hard to give anything beyond too stars when the prog consistently slips through the buckle anytime I try to put my watch on or tighten it.
Thanks for the feedback. The buckle prong should seat securely in the holes, so what you’re describing isn’t typical. In some cases, if the strap isn’t fully tensioned when fastening, the prong can slip before it’s seated. If this is happening consistently, it may be worth taking a closer look at the fit between the buckle and holes. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
I ordered three of the these straps (black, brown & tan) for use with my Orient Bambio V2 Creme Dial. They are high quality and I have received compliments on how nice the band is with the watch. Do yourself a favor and buy these!
The strap is magnificent! Fits my seiko perfectly.
Beautiful strap. Professional seller. A+
Amazingly quick! It arrived before I had a chance to see if it had been shipped!

Holbens is super fast. The only place to buy straps!
I recommend this seller. Very beautiful product in a quite rare size. Thanks.
as described, all good.......
Excellent quality and fast shipping. Thanks!
I have never been disappointed with a strap from Holben's. For the price this is an excellent high quality strap and has a good thickness and the stitching is very neat.
I bought this strap after the original strap on my Orient Bambino broke from just normal usage. The leather is good quality and flexes very well, good padding and is holding up very nicely. Contrast stitching adds some pop to it. can't go wrong with it.
Very nice band for the price. Quick shipping. No brainer. Would shop at Holben's again.
the leather watch belt is of excellent quality and technically as described G.T.
I've bought this exact strap on more than one occasion. It features ample padding, good looking croc grain, white stitching and a contrasting leather lining. The dark brown color works with white or black dials and walks the line between dress and casual. All this for a little over 25 bucks!
