Next time you oppress someone slap them with an Isofrane.

:salute:

So no deployant clasp for an Isofrane exists?
only accurate watches are interesting

They aren't. :cheers:
My point and this is why I respect you. But I'm sure some of those smashing the Ginault probably own some of your rubbers.

I'm sure there are many people that own some of Terry's used rubbers.
Tons :3some: :hump:

+1

It does the job without any drama. Neat and simple.
I would love the Crafterblue with a buckle, I couldn't get the right adjustment on the MM when I wore it. But that is just my experience. I tried to contact them with some thoughts and ideas. I even tried to work with them, they didn't respond at all.
I'll have to post pictures of how I sized it. It's infinitely adjustable at the clasp for fine tuning. I actually used the pin in the next to the last strap hole and used the next to the last clasp hole which worked as a half micro adjustment.

There's a good chance I'll have one on.

I love the ISO on the mm300. They seem like a perfect match to me.

I have not tried the crafter blue yet. The 6 o'clock side looks kind of long to me and I don't see a way to adjust it. I'm afraid it would put the clasp on the backside of my wrist.

this is the exact problem i had with the original rubber b (for clasp). still trying to find a way to trim the "fixed" side down to center the clasp.

wayne, i've seen professional trim jobs on the tails of isofranes before that looked oem. it retains some quick adjustability via the tang (like cnotes i like to strap my watch on the outside of my parka for snowball fights) while losing the excess tail that never gets used for some. i just could never bring myself to do it, mainly because i know i'd murder the edge and after a while i just kind of got used to the super long tail.

(yes i just dropped all manner of double entendre for you weirdos)

Thanks Jason. I thought about trimming it but don't really care for tang buckles either. In any case it shipped to Nova Scotia today.

The 6 o'clock side is exactly as long as the shortest possible adjustment on the bracelet. It's equal to an endlink and 4 regular links. It places the clasp in the exact same location as it is on my bracelet.

thanks for the info - I may end up giving it a shot then. the stock bracelet 6 o'clock side is right on the edge of what works for me.

Here's how it sits on my 6.75" wrist.

My method of infinite microadjust. It works out the same as a half adjustment between the two tightest settings if I used the last hole on the strap.
