hi, guys!
I had an unpleasant experience with my previous leather strap reps and now I bought another watch, also with a leather strap, and somehow I'm afraid of undergoing the experience I've already gone through.
My first rep was Patek Philippe 5119G Calatrava. And I know that its leather strap was damaged only because of me. I was lucky enough to have a good rep, it worked and still works perfectly. However, I often left it in the sun, without thinking that the leather strap would get damaged. The texture got so dry that it started to crumble after a certain time. I even didn't care much to maintain and process it properly. Recently, I bought an IWC IW377701 Pilots rep in Stainless Steel with a leather strap. but I'm afraid that it won't end up in the condition that Patek has ended. Of course, I'll take more care of the watch and the leather strap. But I need your help to know how you maintain the strap so that they are preserved over time.
Thanks for any advice.
