Came across this link elsewhere. Third party seller with a silicone strap fitted to the SKX007 case. Thought someone might find it interesting. amzn.com/B00ILU4E2G |

Might be a good option for my soon to arrive Arnie. I'm thinking the original GL-831 will be put away.

I'm thinking the original GL-831 will be put away. the point with this particular strap is it is fitted to the case so there's no gap. the arnie has those short lugs, this one will never fit. But....you should consider a Bonetto Cinturini 284 as a replacement for the GL831. www.bonettocinturini.it/en/catalogo/rubber-straps/284.html

That is a good looking strap. One thing I have never liked about later Seiko 150m-200m divers is the Z22.

Be nicer in actual rubber. I have given up on silicone. Just too grabby on the skin and too magnetic to dust and shmutz.

Not talking about the BC but strap in the op. I love the BC. They have that in Orange and Blue but I can only find them in the UK at a considerably higher price than the black in the US. Not to mention the shipping. |

Yes you're right the fitted strap in the original post is silicone.
The flat vent is bc rubber which is the best stuff ever.

Now THAT is a rubber strap. BC make really nice, high quality rubber straps. I had the same model before, it looks and feels top notch.  I really like the curved end strap in the post above but nowadays I'm a bit wary about getting silicone straps from the 'bay. Most of them are lint-magnets! |

Purchased it for 24.95 free shipping, seemed like a good deal. LuxwatchstrapsGuess the strap will have to wait on the Arnie. |
