I rarely write reviews for products but I think this could be helpful to people. I purchased a Citizen Blue Angels AT8020-54L. This is the one with the metal band here:  Citizen Men's AT8020-54L Blue Angels Stainless Steel Eco-Drive Dress Watch . I truly preferred the appearance of the one with the blue leather band here:  Citizen Men's AT8020-03L "Blue Angels World A-T" Eco-Drive Watch  but I wanted to purchase a watch that was a bit more professional looking. I searched the web and also saw that it is possible to replace the band of the metal watch with a new band, but tricky to do so with the leather one because of the curved spring bars. And impossible to put the metal band on the leather one.I purchased the metal band watch to get the best of both worlds. You can swap this band onto the AT8020-54L and it looks very good. It takes less than 5 minutes to switch between the metal band and this band. I have attached some photos. I purchased the spring bar tool here:  Spring Bar Tool Set - 5in., 7 Pc .Some notes: the AT8020-54L has a 23mm band width. Apparently you are supposed to go up a size instead of down, so the 24mm is appropriate for this watch. It was a little bit of a tight fit to get it on, but it works well and loosens up as you use it.I highly recommend purchasing the metal band version of the Citizen Blue Angels and using this band so you can swap between the two with ease and have the best of both worlds.

It's a great strap. I've been really impressed with Hadley-Roma recently, and this one was not a disappointment. The material is silky smooth and incredibly comfortable, and the strap is very flexible and very well made. It looks much nicer than you'd expect it to. At first glance, it looks much more like a matte finish padded leather strap than a rubber one. So far it's wearing very well.Expect standard silicone issues - the strap picks up lint very easily and is going to be warm in hot weather. Also, the buckle is a tad flimsy feeling, though it's certainly secure.I'm wearing this strap with a Citizen with a 23mm lug width and it fits great.

This is a solid strap that is so thick that it does not conform to thin wrists easily. If you are a big, beefy person with thick wrists, this may be a fantastic watch strap for you. It's substantial and feels like quality. I wish it had quick release spring bars as you need thick spring bars (not included) to affix this strap to the watch. Without thick spring bars, the watch band doesn't stay in place well and the watch can easily fall off your wrist.

I am extremely pleased with this watch band. I used it to replace a blue sailcloth watchband. I put it on my blue colored dive watch that resembles the Blanc Pain Fifty Fathoms watch. I was pleasantly surprised that the stitching on the band is genuine (not part of the silicone mold) and in a nicely contrasting shade of blue. It is super comfortable and fits my 6.75" wrist very well. It does not look too bulky although it is a substantial 24mm tapered watch strap. It brought new life to a watch that I was not wearing at all because the original sailcloth band was cheap looking. This is a superb value for the price. I am a mature man living in Denver and a "watch nerd" so I have purchased many watchbands.

Very nice material - be warned that it did not fit my watch because the divots for the strap springs is a bit short so the lugs impeded.

This is a very well made strap that works well on heavy and big watches. This is the strap that should have come with the watch, the color of the strap makes the Blue in the dial really show. I trust this band on my daily wear watch, a Tudor Black-Bay 41. This is a heavy automatic watch and so far there is no sign of the band tearing or breaking. It matches the quality and look of the Swiss Made watch. This is a great choice for any dive, field, aviation, or casual watch.

I bought this to replace the blue polyurethane-coated-leather band of the Citizen Blue Angels AT8020-03L watch which, sadly, has its issues. This band is smooth and rich in color, and it has a sturdy look and feel. It fit the Citizen Blue Angels watch perfectly, but the original Citizen buckle is too narrow to fit this band, so I am sticking with the shiny steel buckle that came with the Hadley-Roma band. I am not disappointed. In fact, this band has made me like my watch even more. The buckle does not slip or rotate easily on the wrist even when worn a notch too loose. The silicon grips gently and keeps everything in place where I put it. And it absolutely repels water which just beads and rolls off with no help at all. For my own purposes (the Citizen AT8020-03L watch I bought it for, that is), I wish the stitching was yellow, but that doesn't take away from the band itself in any way. Very pleased, and would buy again.

Nice rubber like leather band but a bit small for a man
