I'm sorry, you've taken this thread off on a tangent (about actual UG watches). please return to the current topic of conversation, straps made with weird animal leather or weird animal fur!

You misunderstand me. I only meant that this thread had reignited my passion for albino koala watch bands. Quite pricey. Should have made myself clear.

Only the albinos, let's make that perfectly clear. 🙄

Yes, of course, only the albino koalas. If someone is trying to sell you grey koala, it's probably squirrel. I know this smacks of both animal abuse AND racism, but I'm assured by my Swiss dealer that these animals are harvested by native Australians as part of an ancient ritual, and that no part of the koala is wasted. Besides, the albino koala, without natural eucalyptus-bark-colored camouflage, is a sitting duck for the dingoes.

😲 What are you crazy? Haven't you been paying attention at all.


"harvested by native Australians as part of an ancient ritual,"

No part of the sacred animal may come in close contact near, shall we say, "your posterior"

Would need to be hypoallergenic to appeal to the mass market.

Are the koala straps also hypo allergenic????
