I got this to replace a metal band that I couldn't adjust any smaller (losing weight.. yeah!).  The original watch had a leather band that, frankly, was pretty cheaply made.  Maybe I am hard on watches.

The band is wide for the large faced watch, & fits great in the ends.  The leather felt stiff at first, but just flexing it a few times made it easy to place on.  The leather and band feel of very good quality.  More time will tell, but from many years of wearing watches, I would be suprised if this didn't last a long time.  It is much better quality that you can get at the bog box retailer locally.
