    If like me you aren't a leather strap guy perhaps this strap will change your mind, it did for me. The Fluco Horween Shell Cordovan Leather is smooth, pliable, tough and durable. It's thin and low profile and extremely comfortable on the wrist and outstanding quality.

    Thanks for the great review! Being a strap guy primarily, a shell cordovan is a strap I would like to have, but have not owned yet (mostly due to expense). Thank you for really taking the time to make honest, in-depth reviews.

    I also live in Florida, so the knowledge that you have found a leather strap that works for you in this climate will lead me to the seller to pick up one for myself......providing I don’t just happen to win one 😉. I really enjoy your reviews, please keep up the great work.

    I've had this exact model of strap from Fluco (in brown) for nearly three years, and it looks now as it did after about a month of wear. Incredibly durable, and seems to fit better as time goes on.

    • @andrewmetropoulos1692
      @andrewmetropoulos1692 Месяц назад

      @@ivanmejia6843 It's still basically perfect. It's a little more scuffed right now, but shell cordovan doesn't seem to stretch or crack like other animal hide straps do. I probably won't ever buy a "leather" strap that isn't shell cordovan.

    I've seen Shell Cordovan on some strap websites and was wondering about it, so thanks for making this video!
    If I win the strap, I will probably try it on a bunch of my watches to see where it works best, but I'm hoping it will work well with my late dad's Fortis Trueline which currently has no strap.

    I've had three of these, on an IWC Vintage Aquatimer, Zenith VPH El Primero, and Rolex Explorer 2. Absolutely agree that these straps are the best value for the money. I actually prefer these over $200-250 alligator bands from premium manufacturers like Camille.

  • @macdee6040
    @macdee6040 4 года назад

    I've tried few brands including this, and out of all of them, Colareb was the best. In terms of comfortable, definitely a solid 10 and very well made. It's on the expensive side, but that you get what you pay for.

    Great review - I really appreciate you letting us know about this value and a good review of a shell cordovan strap - I've been interested in SC, but haven't seen one up close. I think this would look great on an Irish I have and the mixed length pieces would be perfect for my 7" wrist. I would definitely be interested to be entered to win this. Thank you!

    @richwinslow587 4 года назад

    Hi. I’ve been a subscriber for about 6 months and you do a great job. We both have a lot in common. I have a 6 3/4” wrist too. I was introduced to Horween leather with my Nomos watch. And I fit in the same category you do, I really need a combination of a short, and a regular length. The way my wrist is designed I actually need the buckle side to be the regular length size and need the tip side to be the short length otherwise the buckle is almost on the side of my wrist which is uncomfortable and looks awful. Now many companies make shorts anymore and the cost to buy two straps is a little steep! I sure hope I win as you are not only reviewing what I think is the best understated strap made, but since I have a smaller wrist, I also wear smaller thinner case watches so they look normal on my wrist. For people who have never tried horween...all it takes is one time and you’re hooked! I wonder if there are more guys like us and Fluco would make a small batch in 18mm, 19mm, and 20mm. They could sell them as a mix and match, as ideally you want the buckle in the center of the wrist. Anyway, good luck to the winner...as you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend horween...it’s like the way straps should be made. I wonder if you stay in touch with Fluco if you would propose this idea to them as I’m sure there are also some folks that need a shorter buckle side with a longer tip size. I’m just hoping that’s how your wrist is designed, as I really need that long buckle side length. Either way, thanks for what you do in the watch community. Your videos are clear and useful! Wish you continued RUclips success!

However, with fall arriving quicky here in Chicago, I've been contemplating a leather strap to change things up a bit. I've never had much luck or longevity with any leather strap, and would love to give this one a go. Hope you have an awesome weekend.

    I've got my experience of Horween Shell Cordovan from Nomos and I would agree it's a material of high quality, relatively robust and versatile in style.
