I bought an imperfect/shopworn Cordovan Color no. 8 20mm leather watch strap. I have to say that this is the best watch strap I have ever owned. The leather is a deep reddish-brown color, and it plays beautifully with white, cream, and black dials. It is simultaneously thick but not at all bulky, and it's soft and pliable out of the box. You can tell by the rich leather smell, too, that this is a high-quality strap. Highly recommend, gorgeous color and quality. The shipping time was amazing, and the follow up shows that Ashland cares about it's customers' experiences. Give it a shot.
