    Review: Dangerous9straps Caiman = "Gaucher goes Gator!"

    Seeing that almost everyone around here has gone Gator, I'm feeling a little left out

    I've been VERY reluctant to put a reptile on my wrist and have been very picky/patient on which gator to go with. John showed me "the skins" awhile back, but I didn't see the potential back then.

    Leave it to the FRENCH team to bring in "le nouveau" in Summer fashion ---> GATOR

    Fred, Guillaume, Julien....and now PIERS??!!

    >>>> Mayday, Si, mayday!!

    Ok, ok....cut the drama....here are the pictures.....


    Love how light reflects off the skin


    I know Julien, OEM buckle, pics are fresh from the factory


    Yes, the strap IS excited to see you! (it will soften over time, I'm sure)


    I chose the Caiman w/white stitching to match the Gaucher's dial



    TWO THINGS PICS CAN'T SHOW = Texture and Smell.
    1. Texture goes from smooth to wrinkled in a uniform pattern...like poetry..not too dry, not too soft

    2. Smell is an aroma of those Florence leather boutiques, except, this hide came from a reptile??

    Again, thanks John for the fine work!!

    Till the next strap review...your BRo in SoCal,
    Gabe
