Moran Quick Release Leather Watch Bands Deployment Butterfly Buckle Calfskin Replacement Watch Strap for Men & Women

Great after market watch band. Looks great!

Saved me $400+ compared to original. Nice band, install was a bit confusing to realize how to get the one end of the band with the sizing holes through the buckle and snap into the pin to secure it in place, but the pin mechanism can swivel about 90 degrees with a little pressure and then snaps into place. Band looks nice, we'll see how long it holds up. The original M.L. band I used to replace every two years after daily wear and tear, and I've paid up to $500 at times, so this is a good alternative. The difference between the brand name band I had was that it would feed the end of the strap underneath the metal buckle, so the metal of the buckle would never touch your wrist, just the strap going underneath. In this case, we'll see if it starts irritating after daily wear.

The blue leather gives a watch a more polished appearance without looking overly formal. The quick-release pins make installation easy and eliminate the need for a separate spring-bar tool. The strap felt slightly stiff at first but became more comfortable after several wears. The included stitching tools are helpful, although most people will probably not need them for normal installation. It is a good replacement band as long as the correct lug width is selected.

Nice replacement band. Came with a tool to remove your old watch band, the watchband itself, instructions, and a cleaning cloth. The color is a little lighter than navy, but it's fine. Fits my small 6.5 in wrist. Has two straps to secure the watch band. The quality seems pretty good. It's thick. The deployment clasp seems to stay in tack. Also has easy release if you want to change your watchbands Cons: it is stiff. The leather was a tad wider than 18mm but I manage to get it on.

I'm very happy to feel the nice quality and the color of my new straps. I chose the blue one with a butterfly buckle. The color is more of a denim or sky blue than what the product photos. I'm actually happy with the color so no problem but If you're looking for a dark navy blue then you might want to consider other options. The leather material is not overly stiff and it feels like they will last for a long time.

I bought the dark blue and the color was WAY too light in person. The images on the listing looked gorgeous but the actual color was really not even close. I am returning it. I have other (brown) bands from them and I love them. It is just the color of the blue is not what I expected.

Have been very pleased with this band, once I figured out a couple of things. The great news is that both the mechanism for attaching the band to the watch case and the clasp itself, are significant improvements to that which came originally on my $500+ MIDO. (It seems simple/intuitive - but the directions helped me understand) The band's circumference is a little small, especially when the leather is new and stiff, but it molded to shape over the first 10 days of wearing. It works perfectly for me, but perhaps not if you've got forearms like a linebacker. However, I found that by putting the band on correctly (by closing the buckle side first and then inserting the band's tail in the retaining bands before you lock the clasp,), it fits well and closes intuitively. I bought the royal blue band, which looks great without being cheesy; will probably buy the green for a little variety. (This is a sign of how easy it is to put the band on and off the watch).

DO NOT BUY!!! Absolutely terrible quality! I hardly wear this watch and this band didn't last even a few months! The band ripped in the middle of a walk and I almost lost my watch too!
