Received this the other day. If you own a 6105 and don't buy one you are a fool. Yes, I said it, let the flames begin. 
This is without a doubt the most comfortable dive strap I have bar none. It has finally given me a proper mount for my 6105-8110. The aesthetic, the supple and pliant texture, the way it lets the watch feel as if it is barely even there. It is the best thing Will has ever done. I only wish he would do it in 22mm. I would wear it on all my divers (and that ain't hay).
My only quibble (and there must be a quibble) is the buckle. The strap is 19/18 and the buckle is 20mm. Looking at pics of originals they seem to have a wider buckle as well but I would guess it to be 19mm. The gap on the included buckle is unsightly and the buckle itself feels cheap compared to the one on his Waffle and on his Candy Bar (and it is a high polish - not my style). I thought to swap one but they are 16mm and 17mm respectively. I swiped an 18mm buckle from an old Hadley Roma stitched silicone strap that will never see the light of day again. It is a pretty good aesthetic match.
I did, as is my wont, give it a boil and chill. It is hardly necessary but by forcing a curve the tail wraps better instead of sticking out at a tangent from the wrist.
If the price gives you pause (and it ain't cheap) do it anyway. You are very likely to get some additional surprises in the box...
To sum up: This Is Da S#@t!
