Do you want to actually dive with the strap or just have a rubber casual dive strap?

For actual diving (as in wearing the watch over a neoprene wetsuit), you'll want a wave style dive strap. The design of the wave style allows you to cinch it down tight at the surface. As you decend and your neoprene suit compresses, the waves will take up the slack keeping your watch secure. That design is (IMO) the best for actual diving as the greatest risk to my watches occurs when I am mucking with the strap.

For just a nice casual rubber strap, I like the BC300 with the deployment closure.

Oh, I didn't realize you are just talking about buying a strap that's already in production, was thinking you were trying to get ideas and maybe produce your own/
That's why I said - looks aside, the vintage ISO is perfect. I could do without the big cutouts too but I deal with it because of the feel and performance.

Bonetto Cinturini is pretty good. Smells good too.

Do all BC straps smell like a vanilla air freshener? I hope not. :rolleyes:

Sinn or Omega are the best fitting I have found. Curved ends and deployant clasps rule.
only accurate watches are interesting

... not sure why this thread is back, but here's my $0.02 ...

Not for all occasions/watches, but I like the Omega rubber strap for the PO 2500

Really tired of ISO. Don't like the cut outs anymore. Sold most of them.

Hirsch pure is awesome. BC has great rubber strap options too

Really don't like the tire treads looking pattern and how it ends on that Hexa. Major gap which accentuates the gap on a watch like the Baltic shield.

Yeah there is a gap. Didn't bother me for some reason.
Bracelet was best on the Hexa though.

The accent is just one of my favorites. Don't really consider it to be tire tread but we all have our own tastes.
