I used this band as a replacement for the rather stiff leather band for my Timex Intelligent Quartz Compass/Chrono watch (model T49867).  It's more comfortable than the original leather and has the orange stitching like the original strap.  What did surprise me is it's not as flexible as some silicone bands I've seen, it more like a resin band in this respect but flexible enough.  The pattern on the back of the band also helps keep the band from slipping (that was a problem with the stock leather band).  It has a nice, smooth finish and is reasonably thick, looking more like a nice leather band that some cheapie plastic/resin/silicone bands I've seen.

The only thing I'd change is the pointed end of the strap, either making it rounded or flat edged.
