I've enjoyed the Walts for sure, but I have ordered the blasted Ti Suppas and can't wait to give them a spin. I really do think that they improve the overall design/lines of the Zilla.


The Zilla was conceived as a professional diver watch: The integrated rubber strap is made to avoid making the watch too large to bear and still have a big bezel for easy manipulation and wide dial for easy reading.
Because it cancel the lug to lug distance as the strap start from the watch case.
Also this absence of lugs + the rubber straps could avoid any damage to the neoprene suite...
Soon you will understand what I mean with those Suppas

I agree on all fronts Will.

...And the more I study the geometry and key design points of the Suppas, the more I feel certain that they will transform the fit on the wrist too.  (I placed my order for the Suppas about an hour and a half ago and have already received notification that they have shipped!!!) - got to thank Steve for that!thumbsup.gif
