1. It is recommended to take off the original alligator watch strap, store it, and replace it with a calf leather strap of good quality, or seldom wear it as much as possible in summer but more often in winter. Usually, you can wipe some colorless lanolin on the strap, especially before long-term storage, which is the same as wearing leather shoes. If maintenance is not done for a long time, the effect will be different from that with the maintenance done for a long time. 2. When you take off and bolt the watch, the movement should be slow and gentle to avoid vigorous pulling; as the strap is often bent at a fixed position, do not pull it back in the opposite direction; if the strap often rubs against hard objects such as the desktop, it will accelerate the wear and tear of the surface of the strap, making it lose luster, which should be avoided as much as possible. https://www.leedonwatchoem.com/products/alligator-grain-leather-straps.html
