Leather watch bands for the slim wristed

Dateless is my preference, especially on mechanical watches (one less thing to set). On quartz pieces as long as the date is nicely integrated and positioned then I can take it or leave it.
I never owned that watch but I did have a Dan Henry 1962 and was not impressed. It felt incredibly cheap for the money.
I have a Pepsi duro. It's okay for the money but large. I kind of feel like unless you are in love with either the duro or invicta, you should probably save up for a really nice microbrand diver (just so so many options for below $500) or if you want a big name brand then you can find a nice enough Seiko, citizen, or orient for the same. If you don't mind homages then AliExpress works and you can find an outstanding diver (spec wise) for the money from San Martin or a few other reputable Chinese homage brands.
Had a Barton one. Was stiff and uncomfortable. Also it looked awful after just a few wears. No experience with other brands but it put me off sailcloth.
I'm all for them honestly. Oftentimes it's enough to dissuade me from purchasing the more expensive model, though I understand that doesn't work for everyone.
Beautiful watch and a great size. I'm honestly happy to get the quartz movement but the dial is boring and I really love the hobnail pattern with the automatics.
