Nice strap! Key is finding out the maker/source leather....alternatively, contact a good strapmaker and ask their advice.

Good luck.

Look like 'Phat Guido' shot from Paneristi, and I asked him the same question and this was the answer...

'The strap in question is a no name freebie from my dealer - it's get's more attention than any other straps!'

I think the color is called 'honey croc' myself but not 100% sure!

I deal with car parts a lot and there's a slight variation between OE and OEM. OE is 'Original Equipment' which is what comes with the original car regardless of manufacturer. Some cars switch vendors during model cycles. As Will stated, OEM is 'Original Equipment Manufacturer'. Meaning this vendor, a some point, produced OE parts for the model.

In the watch world, it would be like Hirsch making the straps for Panerai but to then be replaced by CF. Technically they are both OEMs providing OE straps depending on model year.
