 I got this strap the other day. Black with white stitching. Very nice looking. Nice styling and well worth the $30 from Kenny at Freda. It kinda reminds me of the Hirsch liberty strap, but it is much, much stiffer. And, it almost seems like there is some rubber mixed in the strap. I know there's not, but it feels like it.

I first tried the strap on one of my big Aviator watches. Didn't like it at all. Then I put it on my fav Trias 17 jewel, cushion case watch and it was much better. Still pretty stiff, but it fit my wrist better. The Hirsch Liberty is perfect for the Aviator watches. It isn't as sharp looking as this new strap, but I probably give the edge to the Liberty for comfort. Both are made very well.
