I have an older version of an Uncle Seiko tropic, and to me it is too stiff and uncomfortable.
Has he change the recipe to go to a more modern feeling rubber - like what seiko is using currently?
Thanks.

I agree about the tropic. I have the waffle in both version 1 and 2 rubbers and v2 is much more comfortable. If the tropic is in v2 I’d be surprised. I have 4 of them that were purchased at release and they all feel stiff as plastic countertop laminate.

Hey guys! The Tropic is a version 2 now, although I still have some in 19mm that are v.1 that I am working to unload before I announce anything. But I have been using v.2 only for 20mm and 22mm for about 6 months now. Much more comfortable. If you don't wear your Tropic because it's not comfortable send me an email and we can discuss replacing it. uncleseiko@gmail.com

The material that the GL831US is made from is excellent. Are all of the Uncle Seiko offerings going to be made from this stuff?

I guess my Uncle Seiko tropic style is V2 because it is soft, supple and very comfortable. Absolutely no complaints. Now if Larry were to go with his own "proprietary" rubber compound then I'm sure the costs would go up.....have you seen the prices Vulcans are commanding these days?
