How are the easX leather straps after a bit of wear?Originally Posted by Tuna1138

I tried a Mark XX in store and was horrified by how uncomfortable the strap was.
I haven't used my leather much at all so can't give much info. on how they hold up (I'm sure others can) I initially dismissed the rubber straps but I'm now sold on them and have a few. I'd definitely recommend, not as dressy as the leathers but still look & wear well
They last well but I find them uncomfortable due to the hard spot created by the end clip so I use traditional straps.
IWC ones, or aftermarket?
I don’t use the IWC ones as they are uncomfortable for me so use Colareb ones.

Apologies, thought you meant it was just the EasX ones you found uncomfortable.
I assume non EasX straps fit on the factory pins ok?!
It’s the EasX straps I find uncomfortable as the strap is stiff at the ends where the clip is which creates a hard spot. If you have a different shaped wrist you probably would not find the same.
So I just use a standard strap.
My most worn watch, 1959, serviced a couple of years ago and keeps time inside 10 secs/week if I leave it face up overnight. For me one of the true all time classics with great history, very much undervalued today imo.
