          Bro, do you know how leather is produced? It is basically dead hide/skin of animals/reptiles, processed with lots and lots of chemicals.

          I saw the show "The Dirtiest Jobs in the World" and there is an episode on leather tanning... really an eye opener.

          For hygiene purposes, better to change once a year if you are wearing it frequently. Come over to town and I can buy you kopi too!

          Personally for me, I would rather change to metal or rubber.

              Striker, told you not to swim with the leather strap watch, you don't want to listen..

              Looks like you gotta bear with the smell lor. Or try apply some leather care lotion.

                      Not sure bout the rest of you bros, but I use water with a little hand soap to wash the leather strap once in a while. It certainly got rid of any odour.

                      If your partner is into polishing her handbags, you may want to try to apply some of her leather cleaning and moisturizing stuff to the strap.

                      But tap water with a little handsoap should do nicely, at least for me.

                          That what my mistake is keep in the box without air it, and did not wear for a long time. Sianz.....
