Man, I was razzed for not being able to pick straps. Those things are odd looking.

Why are there Pvd links and then a stainless clasp? That thing looks horrible. Who would taint a Rolex with that mess?

i once saw one like this but didn't have the weird links....I thought that one looked great except for fact that you were supposed to use your rolex clasp which i didn't want to do.

Full on egg head corporate job and I fly quite a bit so I'm really looking forward to adding to my collection of TSA friendly self defense tools. I have amcouple tactical pens, but I want to up the game and get into some custom stuff. Been watch obsessed for a while but this seems more fun.

Thanks for letting me play! "

Straps that use links are strange. I'm weird about cutting straps too. I still prefer standard buckles.

I also agree with the others. I saw these things long ago (Last year?) at TRF but never liked the look.

I feel bad when I see those rubber (?) end links.

But if you still would like to try, then you may do so in order to get the feeling.

I prefer leather over this rubber strap.

Good luck with your choice and hunt.

Sinn style straps seem OK to me, but ones you need to physically attach a metal link to? :puke:

I'd make do with adjustable and cut straps, but the visible links are a no go. I really like the deployant Omega straps in rubber for the Planet Ocean where the tail fits inside the strap towards the wrist. Very clean.

I bought the same thing for my SOH 46 in leather and rubber. You do have to cut the rubber for the SOH.

I emailed Rubber B twice about when the buckle model is coming and all I got is "it's in the works"
your right the clasp would look out of place...
