Under the prolonged hot sun, the surface color of the crocodile watch band may fade, while accelerating the aging of its cortex. Certain chemicals may also cause its color to change or fade.
When wearing an alligator strap, pulling too hard or bending frequently in a fixed position can cause cracks in the strap. Therefore, in order to protect the crocodile strap, we should wear it carefully and gently.
Like other leather items, the most taboo thing about alligator straps is water. Prolonged immersion in water will make the strap hard and brittle, and even in human sweat for a long time to soak, crocodile leather strap may also mold and produce odor.
In order to keep the crocodile strap clean and shiny, we can use a wet soft cloth to gently wipe the strap, and then put in a ventilated place to dry. Every 1-2 months, use crocodile strap protective agent to wipe the strap, and then use maintenance agent to wipe the surface, so that you can maintain the texture and brightness of the strap.
In winter, due to the degree of hardening of the strap, we should avoid folding to avoid damaging the cortex. In order to maintain the life of the crocodile strap, it is necessary to oil the strap regularly. It is best to prepare more than two crocodile straps for replacement wear, because leather also needs to breathe. A ventilated environment can extend the service life of the hand skin strap
When the crocodile leather strap produces a sour taste, we can use a toothbrush to dip into some soapy water to quickly scrub the dirty place, and then wipe it clean with a slightly damp cloth. The whole process is best done within 20 seconds to avoid soapy water seeping into the cortex
Disadvantages of leather strap
Because the skin is extremely permeable, water, moisture, oily substances, and perfume and cosmetics can erode it. Once exposed to water, the cracking phenomenon will be very serious. After wearing for a long time, the leather strap is prone to odor and hardening. Once hardening or cracking occurs, it is very difficult to repair and often needs to be replaced with a new strap. Due to the high replacement rate, some high-end luxury watch belts are tight in stock, and sometimes it is necessary to wait for months to customize the right strap.
Wearing a watch is not only a decoration, but also a perfect display of personal taste. The matching leather strap, although it adds a bit of elegance to the watch, is also very easy to wear. In the face of the brand's original wristband reservation time is long, the price is expensive, to find a decent replacement wristband is particularly important.
