JJFlash Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Bought a glazed crocodile Pam strap last year. Way too shiny for my taste, looks like patent leather. Have this great quality Banda $100 strap I now don't wear. Anyone got any ideas how I can reduce this glossy look to a matte finish? I might actually wear this one if I could reduce the shine.

Logan Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Perhaps with one of those rotary shoe polishers and a brush?? I don't really think you can though, I have an old genuine Panerai Aligator strap that is worn right thru the shiny coating in some areas.. but its still very glossy in other parts even though the strap has been well used. You might be better selling it and buying another. Watchboys (ebay or Paneristi) do a nice matt black gator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I am not recommending this but I have found that when I acccidentally rub a croc strap with a cape cod cloth the finish dulls down and does not come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
