This is quickly becoming one of my favorite pieces. Now I need to find one of these in Ti, which makes me wonder if they ever made this case Ti...

It is the Watch Gecko ZULUDIVER Padded Tropical Rubber Watch Strap. Has just a bit more thickness to it without losing the flexibility of the really thin tropics. 20/18 vs. 20/16 but feels a lot like the new Tropic straps but without the flat, cut off end that ruins the new Tropics for new.

Not saying it looks bad by any means. Just never thought I’d see the day where Art wears an ISO.

It’s too thick for the watch but I was curious if I could squeeze 22mm strap in 21mm lugs. It’s coming off shortly :lol:

I think it looks great. I've found that for the most part, only ISO's and your straps (due to softness I'd guess) can easily fit a 22m strap into 21mm lugs w/o issue.

Thanks Rob. Yeah it squeezed in easily, but the 5mm thickness of the strap at the lugs kind of overpowers the watch case. As of now no one makes 21mm (not fitted rubberB type) rubber strap. But I'm sure manufacturers will catch up since new Subs are 21mm now.

Barton makes decent 21mm straps- I just used my own lug pins instead of their quick release ones.

Swapped to this after picking up a couple of new, cheap rubber strap options.
