I think I have ask the question a dozen times on diffrent places and even here !!! what do you use on your nice straps to keep them in nice soft shape !! Well 2 guy's answer was Harley Davidson leather dressing !! Now Iam not a Biker type dude so I didn't know much about this stuff ! I do know the Harley leather is quality sooo !!! I went and got a tub of it 6 bucks !! any Harley dealer a have it ! I used it on a couple a real stiff straps I have and a few more ... so far this stuff is fantastic ... I just rub some on and rub in for about 5 or 6 minutes until its all about rubbed in let it sit about 15 minutes ! And then wipe off the excess O ya I remove the watch to do it ...I really like the results so far ! Thought I would pass this on I would not put it on lite colored straps thou unless you wana darken it !! also I use it on both sides a the strap ! seems ok and should protect aginst sweat !!! I don't wear leather straps much at all in warm weather but this might make it a way so I can !!I would say do it about every 6 months on watches ya don't wear much and as you feel you need to on heavy wear watch straps or straps you wana soften up !! I don't think you could really over do it !!!there imho is a lifetime supply if all you use it for is watch straps in 1 tub !!! I know I had to find somththing to protect my straps We all invest a LOT a money in them ! sure can't just let them go to #$%^&* on ya !!:) ..besides I like polishing my watches and this strap thing give me another thing I can do with my watch hobby :O))) I know I know iam nuts !! But hey I like looken and playen with my watches :O)))):dude: I need serious help I guess LOL >>>>> Last edited on Thu Dec 22nd, 2005 07:22 am by |

I use Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil. I buy it by the quart for my cars. I see watch store selling it in little tiny bottles. If you have leather interior you should get some. pipes wrote: I think I have ask the question a dozen times on diffrent places and even here !!! what do you use on your nice straps to keep them in nice soft shape !!

I used to use a mink oil on my leather goods from shoes to baseball gloves. I haven't used it in years. I wonder if they still make it! Last edited on Tue Dec 27th, 2005 08:07 am by MikeD |

I have used LEXOL for a long time on all leathers. esp furniture very restorative, and you'd get a lifetime supply for twenty bucks...Check out lexol.com Eddyboy Last edited on Wed Dec 28th, 2005 02:32 am by Eddyboy |
