What do you guys do on croc style leather straps to get the roundness into them, I'm wearing an immitation croc strap right now that's brand new and it just bends at angles at the croc scale ridges rather than rounding nicely.
You could do it the cheap way: keep flexing / bending them by hand. When a new strap gets installed on one of my watches, it goes on one of the winder cushions so it starts to hold a wrist-like shape. I've heard treating them with Hydrophane (http://www.equestriancollections.com/product.asp?ic=ER03991R) helps keep leather soft and even waterproof.
I've had better luck with quality real croc straps, I love the ones sold by peter.watchacc@gmail.com and I have several. A lot has to do with a quality lining. Of course our own Ulackfocus is known an authority on Croco.
You're getting better with Photoshop. The first incarnation of that picture was sloppy. This one is much better. You just have to match the hand's skin tones / exposure to my face.
