Center-Notched Crocodile Strap for Bulova C8671067
This strap was built for a late father's Bulova C8671067, a diamond-accent dress watch whose case takes a notched band rather than a straight strap. A standard strap simply won't slot into a case like this, which is why the order specified a center-notched cut, made to measured dimensions in black crocodile. The goal was a watch that stays wearable, not boxed away.

Why these choices
A center-notched strap exists for exactly this problem: cases where the band has to step in to a narrower center to meet the watch, so an ordinary strap can't pass through. The notch is described by three measurements, X, Y and Z, which set the width entering the case, the width of the notched section and its depth. Here those were 21 mm, 14 mm and 4 mm. Because a few tenths of a millimeter decide whether the strap seats correctly, measurements taken or confirmed by a jeweler give the cleanest fit.
Black crocodile keeps the strap in step with a dressy diamond-accent watch. The tile grain reads as formal but adds texture a plain calf strap wouldn't, and crocodile softens with wear so it settles onto the wrist over time rather than staying board-stiff.
The 75/125 mm length was cut to the wearer's wrist. On an inherited watch the fit is the whole point: a strap that's the right shape and the right length is what makes a watch something you reach for instead of leave in a drawer.

FAQ
How do I order a notched crocodile strap for a Bulova C8671067?
Measure the notch as three figures, X, Y and Z, or have a jeweler confirm them, then send those with your wrist size. We cut the crocodile to match so the strap seats into the case.
What's the difference between center-notched and corner-notched?
Center-notched straps step inward at the middle (measured X/Y/Z), while corner-notched straps are cut at the corners (measured A/B/C). The case design decides which one you need.
