The band is made to last for years. Please keep in mind that this is not a mass production Chinese band that you can buy for 18 dollars with free shipping. I do not use bonded leather, PU or any nice looking substitute. I use premium quality genuine leather for my bands, and I do not use any machines to cut, glue and stitch. This reflects on the quality, and on the price of my bands. Please see below some information on low cost bands made of bonded leather, that some call genuine leather, so that you can learn the difference and know what to expect.That is how to measure the size of the band that you need: Measure the size of your wrist around the wrist with a piece of string (then use a tape to measure the string from end to end) or directly with the measuring tape at the location where you normally wear your watch. Chose the size of the band that corresponds with the size of your wrist. If, for instance, the size of your wrist is 7.8”, chose the 135/80 band. When I make the bands, sometimes the long part is made shorter and the short part is made longer by the same length. This still will maintain the desired size of the band. Example from this table: 125/75 could be 120/80. This is just a matter of preference of the band crafter. · 5.6 - 6.0" wrist (142 - 152mm) = 110/65 · 6.1 - 6.5" wrist (150 - 164mm) = 120/70 · 6.6 - 7.0" wrist (165 - 178mm) = 125/75 · 7.1 - 7.5" wrist (179 - 190mm) = 130/80 · 7.6 - 8.0" wrist (191 - 203mm) = 135/80 · 8.1 - 8.5" wrist (204 - 216mm) = 140/85 · 8.6 - 9.0" wrist (217 - 229mm) = 145/90 I ship to the Continental US address only.

Please do not mistake Bonded Leather with the Genuine Leather
Bonded leather can at times legally be called genuine leather, real leather, vero cuoio, etc. This is because, scientifically speaking, it is real leather; however, the quality of the material is not even close to the real thing as we understand it.
Bonded leather is partially leather; however, by law it only has to be around twenty percent leather.
It is made of leather mulch bonded together. These scraps are collected together and sent to a specialized factory to be made into bonded leather. The pieces are all ground together in a special machine in order to make a kind of mulch. These small pieces of leather are then glued together with polyurethane and “bonded leather” is born.
The difference, however, will quickly be seen when you use the watch strap. A true genuine leather may last twenty years or more. A true leather strap will never split in half from normal use.A bonded leather watch band, however, may split completely in half within months if it is worn tightly. The best case scenario is that it will last a few months before starting to split where you wear your buckle. Even if it does not completely split in half, it will get cracked and look ugly in no time.
