Really cool combo Chris !
Love the sporty look and the massive buckel. 
And thank you for your kind words yesterday regarding my new strap.
Very comfy on my wrist. And well made

Sharp looking buddy! How do you like that strap?
Thanks Phil and Trent for the kind words!  This is one solid strap. (Great combos from you guys as well btw).
It's an extremely well built strap Trent (with a very unique buckle system as you know I'm sure...which is built like a tank and provides infinitely small micro adjustment for a perfect fit on the wrist). I like the strap quite a bit, but given my wrist size at 7.25", I'm thinking it may be better suited for me on a watch with slightly shorter lug-to-lug length (So, I don't think it is my favorite combo on the Ti47).
The rubber on this one tapers from 5mm at the lug bar to approximately 2mm at the tip, and that thickness at the lug bars (combined with a rubber that is not quite as soft as an Isofrane...but excellent quality, don't get me wrong) means that the strap does not conform as well to my wrist as it first starts out at the lug area (If that makes any sense?).
I'm also wondering if the Boiling Water trick that I've used on my Seiko Marinemaster rubber straps would work on this one as well...making it conform more to the wrist (especially near the lugs), while also softening up the rubber a bit?
...ok, I've rambled on way too long here , but I do like the strap...may need to tinker with it though.
Oh...one other thing I should mention is this strap is quite thick at the lug bar area (from the lug bar opening to where the strap would touch the watch case), so mounting it on a watch with short lugs may prove very challenging or not work at all.
