Has anyone had a bespoke watch strap made by Cartier?

There's a really lovely Cartier red and dark green alligator straps that the SA showed me. She gave me a black one that they had at the boutique, but she said some colors could be up to 12 weeks depending on color/leather. There are also third party sites that sell straps at about half the price that have good reviews - I'm considering that option for strap colors I'm interested in but probably wouldn't wear as much! They come with a (obviously not actual gold) buckle so you can switch them on immediately without having to mess with moving the buckle.

The red or dark green sound right up my alley. I will have a look & see what they have. I did think about a third party site but as this is my first Cartier watch I think I'd like the actual Cartier strap. I've actually grown a bit more fond of the black one that came with the watch but I do think I would love the alligator strap more. Which boutique did you visit?

yeah, I think the alligator is prettier for sure! I went to the NYC 5th ave store - the SA pulled out a box of all the options so you could put it up against the watch to see how you like them.
