PAM on white strap

I went head and got this white leather strap, which I think it quite unique. Here are a few crappy pics. Would anyone like to guess what type of leather this is?

Nope. First tip - Pound for pound it is one of the toughest natural leathers.

If not Goat, then it must be Deer, some of the toughest and softest in the world.

You guys have come up with some of the weirdest and wackiest animals. OK - last tip. It moves about on two legs - not four.

Bingo! It's kangaroo leather. Which I have been told is used to make motorcycle leathers due to its toughness and resilience to shearing. Now, its definately not the softest leather - but you can most definately tell this piece of leather will outlast the watch!

Congrats to Watchman and Swatty and thanks to all our contestants for playing. You will all receive a consolation prize in the mail....


Being an Aussie, this makes me feel all warm and fuzzy that I have a bit of Skipppy on me

so glad it was a koala bear.

talking about straps,who likes the OEM on the 111,the tan calf? it's slowly growing on me but it just doesn't do it for me,can't wait for the vintage strap I have on the way.

Koalas are just too cute...

For OEM 111 strap, I think I've only seen them in pictures. If they are of the same material is the OEM calf strap that came with my Zero, then they are on the stiff side.
