JV or Nubuck Alligator
Are these the same thing?

They're the same thing.
For aftermarket you can try Peter.watchacc. His quality is quite good: https://m.facebook.com/pages/Watchac...02634479808387 |

Actually its not really a gator strap ... it is a specially treated calf leather that has a soft velvety texture it is also known as (JV) Jules Verne strap .. and IMHO oem JV is the best by far ....
The good thing about Nubuck/JV is that it ages really well and develops a nice golden patina my strap in this photo i have had for a couple of years now and it looks now better than the day i bought it |

Ok. Thanks.
Got to love some ADs. I've been to a few that didn't know the difference between ETA and in house. |
