    Hi IWC afficionados
    After several years of daily usage the Gator strap looks rather dark and poor and its feel is somewhat like soft and dull.
    Is there a way to bring back the shining or should I simply buy a new one?
    Strap is A22502.
    Any help is very appreciated.
    Thanks Franz

    Give it a polish with some Dubbin or other leather oil.
    That should replace the lost oils and bring back some shine.

    If not, well then it's time for a new strap.
