You should check the product before you buy as these logos prove the item is genuine. 2. Design Pure crocodile skin is taken from the skin of the belly and back. Therefore, its surface is random, its depth and shape are also different. If you find a strap with a straight stripe shape, parallel rows, you must be careful because this is possibly a product that is copied and crafted. The lines on the real alligator strap do not follow order. Photo: hdstraps. 3. Groove The hallmarks of a crocodile skin surface include small squares or rectangles and deep grooves formed between small folds. In addition, there are cracks between the lines on the crocodile skin. This is a feature that cannot be artificially manipulated. Therefore, you should pay attention to these grooves when deciding to buy products made from crocodile skin. 4. Change of stripes Due to the growth process of animals, the stripes on the real crocodile skin are not controlled by humans. So, when you pick up the watch strap and look closely from top to bottom, you will see the stripes gradually change from big to small. In addition, the area of squares or rectangles will get smaller and smoother. You should check the lines and folds to verify the authenticity of the product. Photo: hdstraps. 5. Workmanship As a high-end watch, alligator leather straps must follow a very strict manual process. Therefore, the workmanship of the craftsman decides quite a lot on the quality of finished products. If you notice conditions such as glue leaks, thread openings, this is definitely not a carefully elaborated product from the mechanic or maybe a fake. 5 things men need to know to wear a beautiful watch Watches are a powerful aid to time, helping to enhance men’s stylish looks.
