simzger Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) hello guys i still cannot decide between the two straps. someone mentioned the brown leather strap is better than the black one (quality- and accuracy-wise). can anyone confirm, is that (still) the case? also another question: will the strap fit a 3717? cheers simzger Edited June 2, 2009 by simzger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheaton26 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 i'm not sure why people insist that the brown and black quality is different? i've owned them both and they are the same poor quality. for accuracy, the genuine 5002 comes on a brown leather strap while the 5004 comes on a black alligator strap. the lugs are 22mm x 18mm, i'm not sure what they are on the 3717? i hope this helps.

The sides have this weird plastic coating that looks well quite synthetic. The rest of the strap looks pretty good tho! Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
