Re: Best rubber dive strap you know of
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/Bradystraps wrote:Sorry gents, I just do not care for the look of the Isofrane with all of the cut outs.
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.

Do all BC straps smell like a vanilla air freshener? I hope not.
Re: Best rubber dive strap you know of
Sinn or Omega are the best fitting I have found. Curved ends and deployant clasps rule.
only accurate watches are interesting
Re: Best rubber dive strap you know of
if you want to go vintage, the Tropic Sports are my favorites

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.tattoo chef wrote:+1blowfish89 wrote:Hirsch Accent is my favorite as its infinitely comfortable

Yeah there is a gap. Didn't bother me for some reason.Jeep99dad wrote:Really don't like the tire treads looking pattern and how it ends on that Hexa.

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.
