There aren’t that many types of skin out there - just have a look and choose the one you like most :dontknow:

Alligator and crocodile do tend to be used at the higher end because of the quality of the skin, the aesthetic of the scaling, and the durability.

If you want to go a little left field, stingray can look great, especially if well cut with a prominent pearl.

I actually find Christopher Ward straps pretty good on my Dornbluth. They have quick change spring bars so can be easily swapped and they generally have always had decent watch straps some of them hugging the case quite nicely. Bought in the sales they are very good value for money.

Thanks but looking for something that isn’t alligator...simple leather with a nice grain or calf certainly happy to pay for the right strap ....
