I wanted to see the result so I just voted yes.

In fact, I went to make full payment just now. The satisfaction from the full restoration of getting back its original beauty - to me is priceless.

I really eager to the Cellini original look this coming Thursday! :Dancing_banana:

My baby beauty is totally restored with its original strap all the way from Swiss. This is her original look 40 years ago.

The strap is so thin and tough, it's surface is so smooth and shinny. I cannot even tell it's crocodile skin at first glance.

And that's why you paid RM2.4k for that strap- because it's typical Rolex quality and anything else is just a compromise. Good that you have matched watch and strap once more  :thumbsup:
