Chronus Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) Recently in a discussion on straps, tourbillon1801 (he of the watch parts, see dealer section) recommended thornton watches genuine alligator straps as the best around... I've contacted them, and their website is here: www.thorntonwatch.com I haven't tried their straps yet, but tourbillon's recommendation piqued my interest. The genuine alligator straps are around $45 and the genuine lizard straps are around $20. They come with SS or gold tone buckle as your choice. If anyone gets any please let me know how good they are and if they are as good as tourbillon says, I'm sure he's right. They emailed saying there is 20% off and free shipping and handling. Here is a copy of the email: https://www.thorntonwatch.com/ -- New items & 20 percent off everything ends Friday New bands & buckles are in and it's time to stock up or make friends by telling them about this great offer! COUPON CODE: utake20off = 20% off everything & zero shipping through tomorrow (Friay, Oct. 27 at 12 midnight EST). Just enter the following code when checking out or email for an paypal invoice for all you need: utake20off OFFER IS ONLY GOOD ON NEW ORDERS PLACED AT WWW.THORNTONWATCH.COM. Please email w/ any questions, etc. Thanks! -jason Jason Wade Jason@ThorntonWatch.com https://www.ThorntonWatch.com/ Edited October 27, 2006 by Chronus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFlash Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 The stitching doesn't look right to me. Especially the alligator. Pictures are way too small to clearly scrutinize the workmanship. The distance between the stitches seems to vary to much. Stitch line is not straight either. I am quite critical of the sew job when I buy straps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
