hi i've got two watches, one Esprit and one Swatch with both their leather straps worn and torn to the state of being unusable, i tried asking around watch shops in Mid Valley and none of them actually sells straps at all, went to Esprit and the girl told me they need a few months to get the strap replaced and i was like wth

anyway, any of you know where i can replace my watchstraps? i can't imagine it's that difficult since i'd think a lot of leather straps would need to be replaced after some heavy use

since Esprit tells me it'll take a few months, any leather straps will do, you know any lou zi hou watch shops?

actually my mum went to the pasar and got one for it, but the strap's too small so it came off easily

for those of you who wear leather watches, how do you maintain or clean the leather?

the sweat from my wrist has made my leather stink like hell, not exactly a pleasant thing hehe



btw, the imitative watches from Petaling St, how well do they stack up? i remember glancing through some and they look exactly the same as those original expensive ones to my amateur eyes

in terms of quality and durability, how are they? anyone with experience?

pay more to get quality treated leather.

don't think i'd want to buy another leather strap
how do you clean your leather strap? if you do it at all
googled a bit and some say use vinegar or baking soda or something
