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?

snake

bcacncnc · 4 December 2010, 11:48 AM

Nope - snake is incorrect... Any more guesses before I give out some tips...

snog · 4 December 2010, 12:00 PM

goat

snog · 4 December 2010, 12:01 PM

lizard

bcacncnc · 4 December 2010, 12:19 PM

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

buffalo? elephant?

forgeahead · 4 December 2010, 01:50 PM

human

snog · 4 December 2010, 02:31 PM

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

snog · 4 December 2010, 02:49 PM

2nd clue if it's not deer.

oo7 · 4 December 2010, 03:03 PM

moose?

snog · 4 December 2010, 04:34 PM

has to be from a Cow,cos you aint half milking this

catpuke · 4 December 2010, 04:39 PM

Rhino?

bcacncnc · 4 December 2010, 04:44 PM

Sorry for delay guys. Using mobile internet and keeps dieing. None of the above. Tip: this animal is from the southern hemisphere

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

Watchman1957 · 4 December 2010, 05:59 PM

Kangaroo or a Penguin.

swatty · 4 December 2010, 06:01 PM

Kangaroo

bcacncnc · 4 December 2010, 06:07 PM

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

Poor Skippy

Looks like a good quality strap, where did you find it ?

bcacncnc · 4 December 2010, 06:21 PM

Hi Swatty...

I found it on strapcode.com... under the section "Exotic" leathers. Hope it softens up - its mega tough!

snog · 4 December 2010, 06:39 PM

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.

bcacncnc · 4 December 2010, 07:16 PM

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.
