Anybody else got any other strap ideas..........I know that this is unusual, but I find the oem rubber/silicon strap uncomfortable. Does it take some "wear-in" time? It is a hefty, substantial strap....but it is (at least initially) not nearly as comfortable as my Daniel Mink Diver silicon strap! The watch itself is...........simply outstanding!

Truth be told I found the stock strap a bit stiff initially, too. It did soften up and it is outstanding when wet. The silicon strap is purposeful like the watch!!

Ken, Felt the same for me...until I streached it out. I simple boiled some water and put the strap in it for a couple of minutes, pulled it out and streached the strap. Nuts I know but made it more pliable and comfortable for me.

Pretty good idea there. On my leather straps, I use snow seal. Use a hair dryer on the strap to get it hot, then rub in as much as it will take, then rub off the excess. It also water proofs them. I use that stuff on my motorcycle suits and gloves.

Great ideas.............I use Snow Seal, too, but instead of warming the strap, gloves, et al, I place the snow seal can in an inch of boiling water and liquify the Snow Seal....then apply it.

I've seen a number of his straps in pictures, but it will be nice to handle one for a change. I had planned on getting a rubber rasmus, but 195.00 was pretty steep for rubber. The hand-made strap is a little less and includes shipping. When straps get up to the 200.00 range, I think hand-made is the way to go. I haven't seen a off the shelf leather strap worth that yet.

Quite franky, there are no straps or bracelets worth over $200 unless they contain precious metals...................yes, really!
