I bought a strap February the 4th.The strap was in stock so to receive it faster I paid for the FAST shipping 1-5 days.On February the 6. I got an email with a tracking number. 10 days later February 16th I received the strap! 12 days after I ordered and paid the strap.In the meantime I have sent 2 emails asking about what's going on! But NO REPLY.The strap quality is ok but the service sucks big time and I still haven't heard anything on why I have paid more for a fast shipment I didn't get ??????

I ordered a strap that was already in stock and I chose the fast shipping method 1-5 days.After 4 days I receive a email where it said it was ready to ship, now it has been 10 since I made the order and still no strap.I have tried to contact abp concept but no reply.The shipping agency tracking system is showing the strap is on it way.Very POOR response I'm not in any way satisfied with ABP CONCEPT

Only part of my order was fulfilled. I ordered a black strap for my Rolex 214270 with a universal glide-lock clasp as I don't want to take my bracelet apart. However, only the strap arrived and no clasp in the package. So I now have to go through the hassle of returning everything and initiating a refund on my credit card. A very annoying and frustrating experience.

1 month to receive my order. 10 days after Christmas. Without a word of apology. No coupon. I will never return and do not recommend your site.

Hello,Unfortunately I bought my bracelets during a period with a promotional code, but not being aware of it, I paid the full price.When I asked for the discount to be granted, I didn't even get an answer.On the other hand, the products are of very good quality.

Disappointing product, perfectible finish (badly distributed yellow paint).I'm not convinced that this product, an iphone XR shell fulfils its purpose, it seems too short at both ends of the device... A possible design flaw.

Answer time on e-mails is a little bit long sometimes. Asked for a picture of the complete hide- the configuration picture wasn't meaningful enough. Received some pictures of a great hide and ordered on this base- in the end I got a strap which was definitely different colour- nice too- but not what I ordered. I wrote a email to ask if they took the wrong hide- the answer was, that the colour on this specification changed some months ago!? So why did I get pictures of a hide/colour that wasn't nearly the same for months???

ABP being French,I write to you in French,why 1 star,ABP did not respect its engagements,delivery 1 month instead of 10 days,the sold bracelet cannot adapt to the Hermés buckle,ABP sold me pistons not adaptable on the watch,the price of this bracelet 215 is not justified,on receipt of this bracelet no invoice,only a delivery note,according to their e-mail,I was to be compensated,to date no compensation,I leave it to you to register my dissatisfaction.Kind regards.A.Lemaître

I ordered three classic alligator straps--one brown and two black. One of the black straps has a noticeably more glossy finish, and a different buckle (i.e. different buckle design that the other two straps, and different than shown on the ABP website).

I received a watch band that is too large. I have tried to contact Abp Concept 5 times via email and their Contact Us page on their site with no response. I have no idea how to get a response from ABP Concept to correct the situation. I have received an email, I am exchanging the product.

I have not received my watch strap, the package has been shipped back to France and my funds have not been returned. I'll be calling my credit card company on Monday to let them know that this charge must be reversed as ABP did not deliver the product I had paid for.

Although it shipped quickly and looks good, I received a strap with incorrect size tension bar on one side. I mailed days ago for assistance in replacement and have received no response.

In the past I placed my orders in Paris - offline. Still today I am very happy with the "bespoke" leather straps. This time I tried your online shop with just some simple "perlon" straps, to give it a try, as I can´t travel to Paris so often. One strap is very nice, but the other one doesn´t match the size I asked for. It should have been 22mm but even on my biggest watch (23mm between horns) it doesn´t fit. Because of the (almost prohibitive if you consider it was inside Europe and just a small and light envelope) € 15,- shipping fee I already paid, me didn´t ask for any replacement … Will I try it again? Probably not if I find something more convenient

Very disappointed with this company, I ordered a strap according to my watch with curved end, and although they knew the model and the brand of my watch, the area of the case was very thick and rubbed, after telling them what happened, I only received an answer about it with a ridiculous discount for next purchases and never answered my emails anymore, I can only think of a huge lack of professionalism and the worst of all of respect and education towards the customer, nothing recommended.

I read 100s of reviews of many strap brands before proceeding with ABP for my Panerai. I received the strap and found 2 tears in the leather. I was so disappointed. I contacted the website via its email which was supplied with the invoice. I received no response for a number of days (interesting how when I first contacted them about the purchase, they responded overnight but when it comes to complaints, silence). I then called their store in France at my expense to find out what was going on. I managed to speak to someone who had limited English who said someone would call me back. Overnight, a response came saying "the tearings don't look really bad". I was shocked - there shouldn't be any in the first place!!!! I was asked to return the strap "if I want" and they would give me another. I was so upset. In addition, the strap was so thin and seemed quite poor quality. I asked for a refund in the letter I sent back with the strap - that was my preference. If they couldn't do this, I would accept a replacement but I said to them I view their products as poorly made and cheap. They didn't refund me but instead sent another strap. This is such a different outcome to what I expected after all the glowing reviews. I won't be buying from them again.

Order placed on June 16 shipped on the 19th officially with a postal tracking that corresponds to nothing. Problem reported, I had to insist for more than 10 days to be heard. They are not the ones who prepare and ship but a partner....1 complaint has just been filed with the post officeFor 2 nato...(47). For me, business is, the customer has paid, the problem is with us, we deliver to the customer, and then we solve our problem internally. That's what I do with my customers.

Poor Service!!! I placed my order a couple weeks ago and hadn't had it processed 2-3 weeks later. I had to go out of my way to get in contact with their team, then,was it processesed. There seems to be very poor communication from the company, upon receiving my order, I had to contact them about the poor quality of the product, again, silence is the way the company chooses to handle their customers queries. Not a good experience at all, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone looking at buying from them.

This bright idea of a niche business once created by renown Jewelry artisan was once a real gem for cognoscenti , an exclusive and high quality little secret for luxury watches VIP customers or a go-to reference for Jewelers...Fifteen years later, now run by a not so prodigal son like a Seven Eleven with untrained, unprofessional Millennials with a (faux Parisian) high nose attitude, it has become a mainstream staple for pretentious hipster wannabees who just bought their first pre-owned Rolex. Overpriced products, messy commercial follow-up and service, they are now outplayed by other recognized competitors around the world...Don't fall for this overrated French tourist trap.

1. Holes for spring bars tiny, impossible to push spring bars through.2. I selected curved ends for the strap at a cost of €50, later advised to change to straight but no refund of €50.3. Overall quality of stitching is very poor, size, direction of switch both have a big variance. For €310, I expected much better.4. Above issues shared with ABP, photos sent, I'vesent 2 chase e-mails in the past week but still no response - customer service is very poor.

Order forgotten and therefore received a long time later following several reminders and badly designed bracelets: 8 holes to close it with the pin buckle!!!! Ridiculous. +Finish not worthy of the price. Sorry, I've always had a good image of ABP, but this time it's really not worthy of the reputation...

Although this was an inexpensive calf strap & was well made, I expected it would have the ABP panache & style but, sadly it did not & was very ordinary.

The staff of ABP communicate orders with prompt replies, however, their capabilities to follow client instructions for orders is very poor.When I placed my order I requested it to be shipped FedEx to the USA as I paid for express shipping. However, the ABP staff ignored my request and sent it via chrono post. Chronopost being the absolute worst service to use when shipping to the US, lost my package. It was supposed to arrive in 3 days, however I was forced to wait 1 month until ABP deemed my order lost and started to remake my strap. I requested many times for the ABP staff to make sure they send my order to the correct address. The staff ignored this request and sent the order to the wrong address number.. This created many problems for me and this is not the first time this has happened with your company. Finally I actually received my order via FedEx. Unfortunately, the strap size and shape was completely wrong and not what I requested. The staff awknoledged the mistake and remade the portion of the strap that was originally made incorrectly. I also had to ask more than once for you to stamp your product with the ABP stamp. All products come not stamped and I realize you don't make all the straps you sell, but since this is a custom order, the products should be stamped by the manufacturer.. All of my past straps are all stamped with ABP..I think your problem is very simple. Your company rushes on customer orders and does not Follow order instructions. This in return creates a product of less quality and less detail, along with mistakes. I have been ordering straps from ABP for many years and I have even been into the store in person to order a strap from Roman whom I used to deal with. My orders were always outstanding. Today, the attention to detail on customers orders is very poor. I hope on any future orders I may place, all of this can be avoided and I can have a more smooth experience.

Poor product, and appalling customer service. The watch strap I ordered arrived clearly faulty, and given their prices are top-end and they describe themselves as 'family-run' and a 'craft company' I'm surprised it was even allowed to leave the factory. It cost well over €100 but in all honesty had the look of a cheap €5 import, which it may have actually been as I've since noticed from their website that not everything they sell is made by them. So a 'fail' on quality-control then.I contacted ABP Concept (Atelier du Bracelet Parisien) and received a reply fairly promptly asking me to take some photos as proof of what I was saying, which I duly did and returned to them the same day. A couple of days went by and I'd heard nothing so I got back in touch to ask what was happening and a day or so later received the reply that It was being dealt with by their 'Chief of the workshop', and I'd get a response that same day. Over a week has now passed, and despite emailing them again twice I've heard absolutely nothing. So, a fail on customer service too. Staggering, for a family company who talk about quality and attention to detail. There are far better independent watch strap makers out there who value their customers. Avoid!
