ajoesmith Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Has anyone got a BOB gator and is the quality good?? Thinking about getting one Thanks Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hi Joe, Funny you ask this today. I got mine yesterday for your JLC. I sincerely think they're great. I picked an IWC one. Make yourself an opinion here. I shot some pictures of the JLC with Bob's. I started to polish the case aswell to get rid of the brushed finish...but it's not yet what I want. I'm a newbie in everything, including polishing Cheers Stephane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted March 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 That looks good but i was referring to the BOB marino gator like this http://www.waccex.de/catalog/product_info....products_id=607 anyone got it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_uk Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 BOB straps are very good, probably one of the best (quality/price) value straps around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) Here is mine on a PAM. I love it. I wanted a non-padded band and dark. This fit the bill perfectly and the price was good too. It is the same model you are looking at. Usil Edited March 24, 2007 by Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeroc Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 i got the one for my breitling and it cracked between the scales the first time i put it on. based on my experience i wouldnt buy the gator straps unless they are real gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dak244 Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 i got the one for my breitling and it cracked between the scales the first time i put it on. based on my experience i wouldnt buy the gator straps unless they are real gator We are talking about Merino BOB's anyway, not the standard kind. I can GUARANTEE Merino's are 100% real gator... I have the Vertigo series (obviously not gator but DDAAMNN!!) I think BOB (Mac) has some of the best straps for the money... see my review here.. http://www.rwg.cc/members/BOB-Straps-MAC-i...ING-t23231.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is often a too regular grain (due to the same pattern used for all) I found however some pretty good on ebay, from a French manufacturer.

TWP Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 BOB straps are very good, probably one of the best (quality/price) value straps around. I have to agree with you. I have several Bob straps and they are all excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam-O-licious Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 That looks good but i was referring to the BOB marino gator like this http://www.waccex.de/catalog/product_info....products_id=607 anyone got it? Thanks I have this exact strap and LOVE IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polynomial Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I got couple of BOB gator-grain straps, I never saw anything this good, let alone a good price. Compare to genuine gator, these stand up strong, perhaps it depends which strap/colour you get (I have dark brown ones). The other day I got a WatchBoys gen gator for a 111, as the BOB is too tick at the end for the PAM deployant. I can recommend the 24mm Breitling BOB for the 22mm Breitlints such as SW and SS.

Thanks I am owning such a marino gator strap but in a different colour: "cognac" with black edges. I am owning a dozen BOB straps and I can vote for any of them It will be hard to find better straps for these prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I've got several straps from Bob, some for PAM and some for Breitling. They have all been excellent quality and arrived in UK from Germany within a week. Had a gatoe one as a daily wearer on my PAM113 for nearly 6 months now and has been proven to be very durable and has loosened up and shape dto my wrist nicely now. My only problem is deciding which strap to buy next from them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FasTTaP Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hi Stephane, where does your JLC comes from ? I've got one but it has brushed lugs (witch is incorrect), did you polished yourself ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
