TEKTITE today (finally have it on a Black Isofrane today...sorry no pics on the Iso...I can't believe it took me this long to try it on the combo that Phil 'exc-hulk' has had his on for some time -- it's a great combo for sure).

That's a cool one Trent...I like the clean, placed, markers on this model too (I have not seen this particular model before...only the Extreme Diver model that includes some numerals on the dial too). What model is this one buddy?

Again...congrats, and can't wait to see what other big one you've got in the works...

Hey Chris this is the new 2012 Extreme Diver. Alpina put a lumed bezel on it and did away with the manual valve at the 11 o'clock lug. Those two changes pushed me over the edge and I had to try my first Alpina!
BTW I love the black and orange combo on the Crepas! I think an orange Isof would look killer!

Great choice Chris !

Tektite on Iso is the perfect combination.

And we are still waiting for the rubber straps from Crepas.

Thanks Phil! (Your T-Graph Searambler is looking sweet today btw!!!

...you know how I feel about that one!)

Yes...perfect on the Isofrane (I've been looking at your excellent combo long enough and had to try it myself)...I also started to fit a Sinn rubber with large deployment style to it. The Sinn looks like it will be pretty darn good for a "fitted" look. If you've got to have a fitted rubber, the Sinn looks like a pretty good option (which also makes me think I should try to see if the Dievas Focal fitted rubber will fit too...hmmm).

Yes...and we are still waiting on the rubber straps from Crepas!

I still do appreciate the fact that Crepas decided not to settle for inferior straps that did not meet their standard for the quality they were after.

The SINN rubber with the large clasp - sounds like a heavy combination.

I haven't a fitted rubber strap.

I asked in the WUS-Forum.

The integrated rubber straps from CREPAS are to be delivered this month.
I hope so !

Good to hear the Crepas straps are to be delivered this month!!! Thanks for the info.

Regarding the Sinn rubber...yes the clasp is a bit heavier, but may actually provide some nice balance against the watch head. I'll have to give it a try and let you know what I think.

Sounds good Chris !

I like heavy clasps very much.

I hope the Crepas-Straps is coming soon. I will try my orange rubber.
