Great value choice, and it is really a long.  I have had a challenging time finding leather straps that are long enough for me ( and my 8.25" wrists ).  This was a good pick, and I have 4 more holes to go on it.  The finish is smooth leather that look nice, and it seems pretty comfortable.  The surface doesn't feel like real leather, but I think it is just the waterproofing treatment they did.  The watch in this photo is a Seiko SARB035.
