This is a band that has a very good looking surface finish that gives the impression of a somewhat antique feeling. So this is good in contrast to other bands that have a plain brown leather surface. Also this design matches very well when using formal and casual outfits. The band is very soft and flexible to the touch making it very comfortable to wear unlike other bands that are stiff and tend to give a harsh feeling. I will also post a review of this band in my personal blog.
