    Hello all

    I have an IWC XVI from 2006 with a brown leather (alligator) strap. The
    leather really seems to need some TLC and I wondered if you guys would have
    any tips in regards to this i.e. what do you treat your leather straps with?..
    if anything

    Thanks

    When my older straps get dry and drab, I give them a rub of Dubbin or Mink
    Oil. Then shine up with a soft cloth.

    First check on a small part, that the treatment does not remove any dye.
