Review on Women's Watches by Hadley Roma - Colorful Watch Strap for Women by James Parker

This strap is very attractive and looks well made. For the price, this is a great value considering you can spend $75 or more for a very similar bracelet (but you're getting an actual alligator for that price). I do have a few minor gripes though: * It's supposed to be 13mm and is labeled as such and being leather it fits a 13mm watch but it's actually 14mm. I'm not mistaken - I've swapped out enough leather straps to know what the proper fit should be like. But it's acceptable and looks very nice.* Unlike every other watch strap I've ever bought, this one didn't come with new pins. It is possible that I received a returned product that did not contain any pins. Luckily the old ones were still in good condition so this wasn't a problem. But that can become a problem if, for example, you only have a watch case and no bracelet at all. Or if the old pins are unusable for some reason. Since I had no problems, I decided against sending it back. But I would. So the question is: should it be with pins or not? As I said, I have never bought a harness without pins*. As noted by one of the reviewers of another Hadley Roma bracelet, the standard length is shorter than usual. It fits my wife's wrist perfectly, and she doesn't have a wide wrist. Again, if it didn't work I would send it back. But be careful and order Long when in doubt. After all these complaints I should probably only give it three stars. And someone who encounters any of the problems I've described might give less. But I can't complain too much. It looks great and the price is right ($11.99). However, I did mention another inexpensive band that I thought was more profitable: Voguestrap. Unfortunately Revain didn't have what I was looking for this time: black, gold-tone buckle, stitched, crocodile leather, 13mm.
