Hi all,

I ordered an OEM croco strap already, but still want to get 1 or more aftermarket straps for my CSO. I did some research and found that Bob (WACCEX) is a reputed seller of breitling style straps. Their "BOB MARINO" line strap (http://www.waccex.de/catalog/index.php? ... dr55q2o725) looks pretty nice. I like the HONEY TAN and MOCCA.

Any review of it?

Thanks!
Kircheis

Would like to get feedback on the croco as well. I have a sharkskin look strap from Bob that's pretty good, not quite as much padding as a Breitling original but not bad. Most other croc-style bands I've seen don't have the sheen of the 'real thing'. Before I consider dropping a lot of money on a medium brown or honey for my Headwind (I also have a dark brown Di Modell, no contrast stitching) I'd like to see how people compare the cheaper bands.

Update:
I bought two BOB MARINO straps (Honey Tan with Croco imprint, and Mocca saddle calf) today. The package is on the way to Hong Kong. Will post some a short review once I receive.

Cheers,
