Review on 👍 Genuine Leather Hadley Roma MSM906RB 220: The Perfect 22 mm Watch Strap by David Gill

First of all I have to say that the strap looks much better live than in the photos. That's the good side. On the other hand, there are a few downsides: 1) The quality is below my expectations. I noticed that the glue holding the top layer of the strap to its lining was dry or was just really bad glue. Therefore, at the end of the buckle near the ratchets, the top layer of the belt and the lining are separated. As a result, the buckle cannot stay in place and loosens, increasing the gap. I noticed that straight away, I haven't even worn a watch strap yet. Of course I'll try to fix it myself, I think a few drops of superglue will solve the problem. But you know, it's really bad quality to begin with. 2) I was expecting a thicker strap of 26mm. The description says "Medium Pad" but "Medium" is something abstract, get the gist of it. Why can't they clearly state the thickness in millimeters like so many others? Something like "thickness 4mm" or something. In any case, I was expecting more padding in the lugs. 3) They could include a pair of 26mm spring bars which would be nice. But they didn't. You'll have to buy spring bars yourself or use your old ones if they fit. Why is it important? I know a lot of people are looking for replacement 26mm belts for the Invicta Lupah. The Lupah is a popular watch and the standard strap size for most men's Lupahs is 26mm. If you are purchasing this strap for your Invicta Lupah please note that in most cases you will not be able to use standard Lupah spring bars with this strap. . This is because on almost all Lupah versions, the standard strap spring bars usually have a special little finger for the "quick change" function, making them incompatible with non-Invicta straps. Therefore, it is convenient if the seller supplies the spring bars with the strap, otherwise you will have to buy additional spring bars yourself. 4) The description proudly says "Made in the USA", but the label on the box says CHINA. Oops. It looks like the manufacturer is trying to fool buyers? So that would be 3 stars. I've seen much better belts in this price range.
