Just been fartin' around swapping straps and bracelets and found this very thin rubber strap in the 'ol box. Thought I'd try it on the Weiss and well, it kinda works. Super comfortable but a bit of lint magnet...   |

A coworker just got a silicone strap for his Fortis from Barton, thought I'd give a couple a try myself. Only experience with something other than metal or leather (in recent memory) was on my LumTec. I was very impressed with it durability...

I can remember my first dive masks were rubber and we used silicon grease to keep the face skirts supple. Silicon dive masks were a vast improvement, always keeping their shape. |

I like how the sharp crisp edges of that strap mimic the case/lug design. Thanks Todd. I hadn't really paid too much attention to the strap's edges per say until you pointed it out. I just realized that the ends of the strap are notched for a snug fit. The lugs on this watch are peculiar in that they jut straight out from the case with no curve whatsoever. This makes thicker and/or less pliable straps less comfortable. It also increases the break in time of a new strap. |
