Post by Mellons »

the most comfortable strap. You try one it fits perfectly. then doesn't work on other wrist...

or, perfect but cant swim with it.

I found out that these didn’t work too well for me.

A bracelet, not a strap. This one. It came with the Loreo chronoscope watch:

On a more serious note....

Straps have been a tough one to figure out...

I generally like thin soft leather straps that taper down to 20-22mm. If the watch is heavy, then I prefer a little stiffer material so it feels more secure on the strap. I used to run short straps but realize I like them longer.

I don’t get along with zulus and Nato straps.. ..I don’t like metal bracelets, and if it’s my get wet watch, then a soft pliable rubber strap is my first choice.

Straps have been the most challenging aspect of this hobby. I like them thin, but also strong and a bit glossy; similar to the barenia leather that Hermes uses.

just received this:Ted Su Rubber Dive buckle and strap
http://www.tedsustraps.com/Dive-Buckle- ... _p_24.html

Wanted to see what it was like, thought i would be flipping. To my surprise its probably the most comfortable strap for the millemetri yet. Rubber v soft and infinite adjustment of compression buckle makes for a very comfortable fit. Yes, buckle is on the large size and it makes whole combo bit heavier, but strangely balances out the mm head on the other side.
