Well I got this strap and it looked like a cheap strap to begin with. The stitching was somewhere frayed box. The belt buckle seemed neither the best nor the cheapest. Months. It broke at work today. I did nothing, sat at the table and the buckle came loose. About 2 weeks ago I noticed my head spinning on itself. I have not pulled it out to change from brown to black Also it has only been changed 4 times, I almost never wear tan things. Elt while I return this one.
