Stunning Chris!

Love the look of this rubber.
Looks like a BC rubber.

What's your thoughts about this combo?
What do you prefer, rubber or mesh?

Thanks Phil! thankyou.gif

Well, you know me...I favor dive rubber straps quite a bit, and so I prefer the rubber here for overall comfort. I will say that the Zodiac is a 20mm tapering to 18mm strap, so it's got a nice vintage vibe to it, but my personal preference for straps that are 20mm wide or less would be to have a straight 20mm strap with no taper (as those offered by Bonetto Cinturini and Isofrane for example).

All my opinion, of course, but I think the 20mm-18mm tapered strap looks just a little bit undersized on this one given the watch size, but I'm getting used to it after a couple days. The cool thing about the BC 281 is that it looks like the strap flares a bit past the lug width, and then finally tapers very little to 20mm, so it may have the appearance of a slightly wider strap. I may have to try one.

BTW (which do you prefer?...looks like you've been going between the BC281 and the BC321 on your various Sharkmaster versions!). Good stuff there! thumbsup.gif

Sure seems like you have been enjoying this one quite a bit! I assume you're impressions have continued to be very favorable on this one after having it for a while now?

Yep, She's a keeper and sits rather nice on the wrist. May put the rubber strap on it for a different look. I hate changing straps because I don't have a great pin bar tool. I should break down and get a Bergeon ....

Great to hear Greg! Beautiful piece for sure!

Funny you should mention the Bergeon...I finally picked one up a month-and-a-half ago after using some of the cheaper options out there for years (ordered the 6767-F tool which has the narrow fork good for ss bracelets, and also ordered the replacement tip for the 6767-S, which is the wider/flat fork for use with leather and rubber straps so I could have both mounted on each end of the tool). Well worth it to have a high quality tool, and I don't know what took me so long.

I finally got the rubber Cuda strap to fit on my A2, I had to take a razor blade and thin it out a bit near the spring bar holes, but now its on, and I love it on rubber! BTW Stew, that Sea Wolf is BEAUTIFUL! I cant stop looking at it!
