Check out ABP straps - huge variety of other exotic leathers/hides too. But might cost you a bomb.

Yes, Alex is right. Panerai alligator is one of the best out there, IMO.

Use water or water with soap & drip and dry so more??
Not sure who suggested to you, that will only shorten the life span of the leather strap.
And leave your wallet dry.


Proper leather cleaning method is as below:
To clean leather strap, using leather cleaner which is proper formulated pH for leather.
Normally use a damp sponge or wet cloth , spray 1 or 2 spray of leather cleaner.
Clean the leather strap , then use a clean damp cloth or sponge to clean off the leather cleaning solution.
Normally this will follow up by applying leather conditioner.

Personally got a few from there but importantly the quality and the price is well worth it.
