Some time ago I watched a movie starring an American wrestler type chap (one of the movies where plot and thought were not high on the list of prioities) whose watch band miraculously unraveled into 50 metres of climbing rope - thus saving the day for all concerned.

Sadly I believe this strap will be hard pressed to meet 13 feet of 5 mm paracord but I still think it is pretty cool.

I also believe that the manufacturer makes a donation to a US Forces charity so there is a good cause in there too.

Wearing my s/s Daytona today with the custom made end links.  This transforms the watch! I never liked the look with exposed gaps on leather before.
Compared in this pic to the white gold model which has these links soldered onto the case, the diffrence is almost indistinguishable!  It now allows the use of any 20mm strap.happy guy.gif

The dial appears blue in your picture. Is the AR coating making it appear blue when photographed?

Yes, it is really a cool combo. And wears very comfortable.

The DOXA lugs are 21mm and the MARATAC Zulu is 22mm - but it works !

Thanks Brice!!!!thankyou.gif

I bet the MM300 is VERY comfy on an Isofrane!!! (did you go with the 20mm or squeeze a 22mm Isofrane in there?)

Heck, with your new PO arrival...I would love to hear your thoughts comparing the PO to the MM300 or others that you've had when you get the time...maybe a new arrivals post sometime since it sounds like the PO is a keeper.thumbsup.gif

I use the 20mm. I have both sizes and tried both. I didn't like how the 22mm looked so quizzed in there. A notched 22 or 24 works great too though.

Thanks Brice...I have to admit, I also like it on the Seiko Marinemaster rubber too which is notched by design (not as soft as the Isofrane though, but pretty comfy especially if you do the boiling water/coffee cup thing to form and soften the strap).

Thanks Brice. No because I made a trade for it and like most they did not include it. Never understood the mentality of some sellers. Anyway waiting on some new spring bars to try the OEM bracelet.
Don't usually rave about a watch, but I recommend this one.
