    I picked this up second hand and am wondering what you fellas think. It's a 22mm/18mm strap designed for the clasp.

    The texture is much softer and feels a bit flimsy compared to my other straps. Also what concerns me is the red lines I drew (to help aid visually) on the first photo. It seems though the strap doesn't taper uniformly from the lug end to the tail. Rather, there's a sharp kink on one of the sides. Has anyone else seen this before?

    IMHO, it's a genuine used IWC strap. "Kink" is caused by pressure from the deployment buckle edge pressing against the strap from below when wearing it.
