Anyone have experience with Rovers strap? https://rovers-strap.com
They have a padded crocodile strap in blue with red stitching that looked interesting, but I can't seem to find any reviews about them.

Re: Experience with Rovers Strap?
I've not heard of them until now, but seem to be worth a close look.
I see they are located in Indonesia; worth bearing in mind from a logistics point of view.
My go to supplier for custom type straps is https://mansarea.com/en in Benidorm, Spain.

Re: Experience with Rovers Strap?
I've not heard of them either until this post.
Having had a quick look at the site they look like they are pretty decent.
At c$50 each (plus postage and duty) my expectation would be high.
Alternatively, I tend to use WatchGecko (https://www.watchgecko.com/) and WatchObsession (https://www.watchobsession.co.uk/) as a starting point for straps, however, my go to supplier for Custom straps is Stevostraps https://www.steveostraps.com/.

Re: Experience with Rovers Strap?
I wanted to provide follow up. I ended up purchasing said strap and paired it with the C900 Worldtimer. The strap was delivered within 3-4 weeks.
The only customization I made was adding quick release spring bars. The leather of my model lacks some of the depth than what was shown on their website and Instagram posts (see above). Otherwise, the leather quality feels nice and has softened within the first week. The leather is lined with goatskin and offers a nice contrast to the croc color. No major flaws with the stitching seen.
Overall, I am pleased but in the future I will ask to see the actual strap that will be shipped.

That looks very nice. Did you get it from Roy in Melchester?

Of course, sorry. Brit humour. You probably need to be British and of a certain generation to understand that one!
Roy of the Rovers!
Anyway, joking apart, I think the colours are really fabulous and it most definitely suits your watch. Great choice!
