awww, I was hoping to add a croc strap watch to my collection....One of mine came with a crocodile double tour strap (the quartz one)and because I too wash my hands a lot I changed that for a goatskin double strap that I had made.
My other watch came with the stainless steel strap but because its an automatic the movement and strap made it feel quite heavy (both watches are GM not PM size) so I changed that for a swift double tour strap and that has held up fine.
I think the straps are pretty durable except the crocodile.
I'm going to buy a barenia strap for my quartz watch shortly.
edited to add I wear my quartz watch with white dial daily..my other watch with black dial that came with the metal strap is a dressier watch
