'Bumpy' aligator or croc straps

[Beaunidle]

It may be that my Google-fu is weak, but although I've seen these on a few watch photos I can't seem to locate a supplier. The only thing that has come up is the suggestion that they may no longer be available as this texture is only found on wild animals rather than farmed? Can anyone enlighten me?

Edit, have now found something.

And with better pictures to look at I'm not sure this would work with my watches. Still, could look good on some timepieces.

Try looking for the term "hornback".

Try ABP Paris as they seem to offer Hornback alligator - and rather nice they look too!!

I'm thinking about one for my Panerai but they're a bit pricey for me. Hoping the Euro will drop a bit and make them a bit cheaper
