I'm still trying to decide on colors and size. What to do, what to do. I can't let this one pass me by at this price.

Vincent.HI took your advice and ordered one of each color, and they arrived today. Man, are these nice. The patterns are different, with the woodland being most obviously camo, the red moderately camo, and the blue coming off as more of an abstract pattern. They are nice and chunky, calipering out at 3.6 to 3.8 mm. They are the wrap-over, full-grain top surface front and back style, so they should be less vulnerable to sweat stink infection than the raw back style, especially if coated with conditioner from time to time The edge finishing is beautiful. I absolutely love the incongruousness of a kitschy pattern, camo, on absolutely top-quality full-grain Italian leather. How crazy is that? I put the "red" one on an orange Orient dive watch, and it works perfectly. The blue is on a Kickstarter dive watch with blue hands and bezel indices. The forest is on a black Aragon dive watch. I'm sure I'll move them around from time to time, but I'm in a leather-on-dive irony mood now. So at this point, between three Tochigis and three Camos, I have six Vulture straps. I got just one at first to verify sizing, then went all out on the next two drops. I guess I'm out of the market for straps for a while, unless some really interesting leather appears, since I don't have enough watches to use what I have ... well, maybe I could still use another 20 mm strap. I also have one District Leather strap from a drop here, a light natural color on a blackout Glycine Incursore, which looks great, but I'm not in love with the raw back. (Rumor has it the Vulture guy may have made these also under contract.} I have one Da Luca and one Mankey, both of the Zulu-esque variety, and, well, I just don't like that style of strap, and they feel so flimsy, having to be so thin to thread behind the spring bars.
