Any fans of Horween Shell Cordovan straps?

I picked up my third strap (on the snowflake) from TRF member Jankoxxx (love his straps) and just wanted to share with you all. :)

I'm a great fan of shell Cordovan straps. I picked one up in the style Bunt, Thinking it would go well with my GMT IIc. However, I did not like the look. So I switched it with my Sector watch that my son gave me and it looks fabulous.

Did you grab any pics of the GMT IIC on the Bund? Just curious.

I'm a huge advocate of Horween Shell Cordovan! It's the ultimate wrist leather, IMHO. Love the way it feels.

I wear my Root Beer on a shell cordovan strap from European Watch Co. My wife's AKD is on a nice one from Jankoxxx.


I also have 4 other watches on Horween Shell Cordovan. Can't get enough. I always recommend them when people ask about strap options.

Unfortunately not however the head of the watch just covered the strap itself.

Here's a picture of My current watch on the strap

The leather has broken in beautifully and it feels like butter on my wrist
