crocodile watch straps?

i have apart from my Rolex collection an old Omega Seamaster dress watch inherited from my late father

its probably at least thirty years old and in the 'rectangular' style - nothing like the later Seamaster divers watch types

so i want i new strap and reading about the very best is saltwater crocodile made from the small 'belly scales'

many straps sold as 'crocodile' are from inferior species such as the US alligator and the South American Caiman

the only true saltwater crocodile leather is available from the farms in Australia particularly the NT - unfortunately the best skins are sold to Europe and Asia for very high prices - so the domestic market can only offer third rate straps

and the high end croc leather is used for handbags

so where can i buy a good quality crocodile watch strap?
