Hadley-Roma Men's MSM843RA-180 18-mm Black Genuine Leather Watch Strap

I didn't realize that my Tommy Bahama watch had an unusually wide gap to fit the band to. This one was 18mm, which seemed like a standard size, but was too narrow for the face. I had to then figure out how to convert 15/16th inches to millimeters but got lucky with the next purchase of a 23mm width band. The new band also came with the connectors, which this one did NOT. So, make sure you measure the connecting side width before you buy a new band!

I choose this item because it looked similar to the woven strap that came with my Tommy Bahamas watch. Not as thick or tightly woven as the original but similar at a quick glance. It was easy to remove the generic buckle (held by a watch pin) and install the nicer OEM buckle. I was surprised it didn't ship with pins so I had to reuse the original pins. Not normally a big deal but Tommy Bahamas pins use a side handle to compress the spring for installation (no tool required). Such pins require cutting a small slot for the spring handle to protrude from the leather. An extra 30 minutes of toil but it came out fine.My main criticism is the color. It ain't tan by any stretch of the imagination. My original band is tan but this Hadley-Roma is medium reddish brown and darker than the Amazon product image. Not sure if they sent the wrong one or their designers are color blind. It says "Tan" on the packaging. So I'll dock them a star for that.

The bad,Feels very thin and cheapBuckle is fiddlyNo springbars get your own, which is honestly sad at this price point.The goodLooks very luxurious on my khaki king champagne dialDoesn't break easily like other leather bands used without deployant clasps

Bought this for my Dad’s Tommy Bahama watch. Was the closest I could find to the original band. Looks very nice in the watch.

I had to take it to a watch repair person to have it installed since it didn't come with the pins, other that that it looks perfect on my Tommy Bahama watch, and appears to be very well made and as mentioned looks great.Jim J

Appears to be a good buy for the money. Will see how I holds up.

A Christmas gift for Seiko Alpinist that made the watch look more dressy. Excellent quality for the price. Highly recommend.

Not the best workmanship. One edge of the strap started to peel off less than a month. Might be unlucky of what.

This band is exquisite but I thought it was quick-release with the cutouts but sadly it is not. If you have a regular watch band you will love this. It was thin in width and honestly perfectly feminine, but could not use it with my Nokia Scanwatch!

No son recomendables. Se las coloque al Moonwatch de bulova y precisamente al momento de utilizar el reloj con las correas en cuestión, a los pocos minutos el recubrimiento comenzó a desprenderse de la correa con el simple roce de la caja del reloj.

Muy buena calidad de la correa, es a prueba de agua por la parte de adentro (la que va a la piel), se ve acolchada y es gruesa, muy bonita.

Best watch strap quality and texture

Uno de los modelos de correas mas atractivos, le da a mi reloj seiko 5 un aspecto elegante y único.
