Abpconcept consistently delivers on-time shipments and fast delivery, with many customers noting quick arrival and reliable tracking. The store earns praise for a wide selection and strong product quality, with numerous mentions of well-made, beautiful, and meticulously finished straps and bracelets. Customer service is highlighted as excellent and responsive, including offers to adapt items and helpful support that enhances the purchasing experience. Overall, customers repeatedly describe precise products that meet descriptions and showcase craftsmanship, with smooth ordering processes and careful packaging.
I truly wish I had listened to the negative feedback, but I brushed it off as people judging to harshly, e.g. delays due to COVID19. I was so wrong. Same thing happened to me: delays, promises, more delays and empty promises... Finally, the strap arrives and pretty much every single measurement is wrong. Not even the lug width was correct. From there on, I have been faced with silence and EUR 300 is down the drain... Please, be smarter than I was: Don't do business with this company.

Really disappointed, I thought I was calling in the professionals for a personalized watch project for my brand, but I received a sloppy made-to-measure bracelet. Customer service obviously offered to send it back (at my expense) to correct the defects, but only part of it was corrected, leaving cracks on the edges. I really don't recommend custom-made with them, for half the price there's much better elsewhere with real finishes, unfortunately not in the leather I wanted, but to choose I prefer quality.

The custom strap from ABP fell apart within 3 days!! Had a custom strap made for a Rolex. Company was very responsive when designing the strap. Took a few months to make and cost $300+. Once it arrived, the leather started to peel off the rubber that it was glued to within just 3 days. Within 5 days, I could no longer use the strap. Despite my numerous attempt to reach ABP, nobody has communicated back to me from this company. Horrible quality - steer clear of this company.If ABP reads this - I am still waiting on a response. (over a month+).

Classic Nato bracelet displayed available.....Inquiry e-mail 34 days later, no reply. 45 days after the order, still no news, second e-mail; all outside the confinement period, otherwise I wouldn't mention it.I'd like to add that I'm used to ordering abroad and that such a scenario has never occurred to me. PS I doubt I'll get anything from them, they're closed in August.... no big deal.

Unbelievably bad service. Ordered a watchstrap for my husband's birthday on May 3rd 2020. Two days later I received an email to say that the order would be delayed due to covid-19. I was told to expect a 6-week delay which I wasn't pleased about but appreciated the advance warning. 9 weeks later still no strap and no response to my email and Facebook Messenger enquiries. I fear I've lost my money. What a terrible way to treat people.Update: my one star review prompted a promise to investigate why the strap hadn't arrived and a promise to follow up. That was 10 days ago. Needless to say Diana hasn't been in touch since.Update 24th July. After numerous emails and posting on social media, I received a full refund today so my review is now 2 stars rather than one.

MORE THAN 2 MONTHS have passed since my order. (April 30, 2020) and STILL NO BRACELET. It's the typical French company, they cash in and you struggle.I'll spare you all my calls and connections to move the case forward. Damien in customer service is an arrogant and pretentious character who spouts his lying blah blah blah to show you that all this is normal and that your request is unfounded.

I ordered a strap over 7 weeks ago, and have exchanged multiple emails with them where they kept saying that it's getting delayed. And now for the past week, I've gotten no response to 2 emails I've sent and I still haven't received the bracelet. I was basically robbed for over 200 usd. DO NOT attempt to make an order as I've been reading similar reviews.

I had used ABP before and found them good, so thought it safe to make use of a tempting discount offer to get a new strap for my IWC. ABP are attractive because of the colours on offer, not the IWC black / brown, I went for a blue.It got delayed because of Covid19, ok I understand that, but I'd say its grey not blue. Strap looks good quality, but not what i was expecting, so it will sit in a reserve drawer and I'll have to look again.

Due to the Corona crisis there was a communicated delay. It would take an extra 16 to 20 working days to finish my strap (it was in production). Now, at day 22 (after numerous emails) I'm told to wait another 10 days! Not a great way of customer service.... And really, how can anyone work more than 30 days on one strap???
Response from Abpconcept
Dear René, As you may know we are currently facing a world pandemic. Our worksmen need to be protected during this difficult time and this is why we sent you an email at the begining to inform you that due to this exceptionnal situation the making of your strap might be delayed. Our teams work 2 separate shifts and we have numerous orders to prepare so even though you strap does not take 30 days to be made, it has to wait for previous straps to be finished. We hope you can understand and that you will enjoy your strap when it will arrive !Please stay safe and healthy,Kind Regards,ABP Team

I paid over £200 for an open ended watch strap to fit an old watch that had fixed bars. the strap had adhesive on each half to fix the strap onto the bars, I fitted the strap onto the watch and clamped the ends of the strap with the adhesive on for 24 hrs to set. within 2 hours of removing the clamps both halves of the strap came open on their own without the watch even being touched. I repeated the process with the same result. I the contacted ABP customer support via email and was ignored, I contacted them twice more before I received a response. The response was that I should buy some glue and stick it myself! I was also called a liar because in my last email I had said it was the third time I had tried to contact them and they wrongly insisted it was only two times. Avoid this overpriced crap.

I ordered a leather strap that is supposed to fit with a Rolex Datejust 41. The strap didn't fit my Datejust 41. The spring bars wouldn't line up with the lug holes. Even if they did, the Oyster clasp does not line up with the strap. Very, very disappointed given the price I paid. Even more disappointed given that I am a returning customer. Even further disappointed that I have tried to email ABP Concept three times for a solution but emails are not returned. I will not be buying from them again. I would urge extreme caution to any buyer after my experience.

I order a stock (not custom) strap from ABP, as I have in the past. The strap arrived on January 2 and I found it is defective in that it has no holes, and is, therefore, unusable. I emailed ABP about the problem, with pictures attached. As of today, I have not heard back from ABP about the strap.The straps I ordered in the past were always of high quality, but I must give a low score for customer service, and an expensive useless strap.

The order was delayed with more than a week. Once recieved, i found out that ABP delivered the wrong strap. I have paid EUR 345 for a strap that i did not order. In addition i have not recieved and invoice. What i have recieved is a bill stating that i have recieved a sample strap worth EUR 20. I find this business practise to be irregular. I have written several times to enure that ABP make up for the wrong order. Still no resolvement after 45 days...

I bought a light brown NATO alligator strap... 90 + 7 shipping, I understand the price according to a Living Heritage Company, however please explain the following:- Although the leather varies according to the animal and the place taken the bracelet looks nothing like the photo ... which must be the best ...- I'm having trouble grasping the light brown color, it's chocolate brown...- I can't see the shiny side of the leather or the contrast between the scales, it's dull and a very solid color.I'm not a picky person to be polite... but I've been wanting this for so long... after 16 days of waiting... now I'm relatively disappointed.

Poor stitching of NATO Strap in that, within one week, one of the stitches in the NATO Strap came undone and I had to Superglue it where the stitch came undone. Also, the Buckle is very thin. For a large watch 43mm, it appears flimsy in contrast to the watch. The customization was exactly as described and completed quickly which is why the review is two stars instead of one, but incredibly flimsy craftsmanship from an ostensibly higher end brand. Disappointed!!

I received the wrong strap and was notified by ABP that I could send it back (at my expense) and they would redo the order. Instead, I asked for an exchange or a refund and after several emails and a month and a half later I have yet to get a single response from ABP. They now have the original strap back and I am just waiting on a response. Interestingly, prior to placing my order, they were very responsive.

Strap came with no holes (they were added at the moment of purchase). Poor quality of stitching, uneven. Color specified was dark brown. Real color is like a taupe. Send an email with my claims uppon reception and never received a reply. The quality does not reflect de price above 200 euros. Straps for less than a quarter the price do the job and don't have uneven stitching.

I bought a strap for my Rolex Air King but the fit to the height of the lugs was terrible despite being listed for that model. ABP admitted the issue so I returned for a refund but didn't include the original postage despite the product issue being theirs. Ended up £20 or so out of pocket from the experience and hence I won't use them again unfortunately.

Crappy customer service. I specifically asked for quick release bar cut on the straps ( i even gave them the ref of the watch), they confirmed it but when it came it didnt have any cut. I wrote 2 emails about the problem, 0 answer until now( which is kinda frustrating this beeing my third order of a custom strap from abp). Im sorry to say that this was my last order.

- Poor information provided by the customer service and the website as the Rolex R Strap (rubber) doesn't really fit the aesthetics of Datejust 36 Ref.16233 (there's a gap between the bezel and the strap).
