Where'd you order from? Rob at Monster watches has a ridiculous deal on new ones for pretty cheap.

I didn't even think to look at Monster Watches....damn!

I ordered from Seiya. He's quicker anyway.

There is more gap (between case and strap) than I'd like when using Isofrane. Stock straps are usually too short for me, are the ones mentioned longer?

Seiko dive straps are generally long. They're also thicker on the spring bar sides because of the huge spring bars Seiko uses on the divers. That usually hides some lug/strap gap.

Sounds good, thanks. I may try to grab the SBGA029 strap...

I've got the MM300 clasp coming. I'm really in love with this one. My others sit on the winder, looking at me longingly

I'm guessing it has proportions are the same or similar to the Stargate. Iso doesn't work with the long lugs, way too much gap. The OEM strap was a smidge better, but still didn't like that gap. Hopefully a Tuna strap would fill that gap a bit better.

Yea Kelly, similar gap with the Iso, but the lugs do curve down really nicely on mine.

It's funny, I'm really not a fan of bracelet watches - ever - but I love the feel of this one. The combination of case shape, bracelet construction and design, makes me a happy camper. I have the MM300 clasp coming and will put it on, then all will be perfect. Everyone knows what a Shogun fanboy I am, but I haven't touched it since this one arrived. The dial and hands, together with killer bezel and case shape, make me all warm & fuszzy every time I look at it. Seriously beautiful in person and I can't capture it in photos. Even prettier than the VAT or my PO 8500.... odd, I know.

Honestly, I can't stand the Sinn rubber strap. Feels like silicone and I'm just not a fan.

......and don't call me baby

Does your sig image keep getting bigger? It's larger than my entire laptop screen.

[BSears]

I scaled it down when it was hosted on Photobucket. Ever since they shit the bed and resorted to extortion, I've had to put my photos on imgur. Clearly, I need to resize it.

[JP Chestnut]

Fuckerbucket

I need to figure out if I can get all my pictures off there.

[BSears]

Apparently you can't resize a pic on imgur. Or maybe I don't know how. I had to crop my image then upload again.
