At first I did not like the idea of using the bracelet clasp, but that actually looks like it works well, and does not have the overlap/bulk that you sometimes get with a traditional tang buckle (especially because it is quite a thick strap).

I think it looks great :thumbsup:

Right, they should have tapered the thickness of the strap. I hope it matches the case a little better also. I have one on the way in, so I hope it works out.
let us know how you like it when it shows up - I'm thinking about getting one myself...

I'm trying to get shorts authorized for next summer. Maybe if I show that photo to the chief...

Will this accommodate the Seiko fat bars that come with the watch?

According to the review Terry posted, yes it does use the normal fatties.

Yes and same quality rubber. You saw it on my Sumo the day we had lunch.

This strap with the ratcheting clasp looks great and makes me want to get the MM300 back again X4

I received the strap today. I do like it. The only thing that would make it perfect for me is, for the rubber to have more stretch to it, and a buckle. My generic Breitling rubber straps works the best, because I can stretch it a little when I am picking my buckle hole. This way the watch doesn't flop around.

This one matches the endlinks of the MM perfectly.

I like it Terry. I'm with you though, a 2nd available option for those that prefer a buckle would have been a bigger win.

Looks great, T :cheers:. I've got one on the way. Hoping it will allow me to hang onto the MM300 this time around.

I'm probably one of the few guys who is OK with the MM300 bracelet, but I think I'll pick up one of these as well.

My MM300 has actually never been off the bracelet, so the fact I am even considering this is a testament to how good I think this looks.

Even with the rubber strap, I'm still not taking my MM300 surfing though.

Your right that is an addiction I can't leave alone. :crybaby:

I still dig the rubber strap but I had to stop wearing it for a bit. It tends the let the watch head rock a little to much for me. :shrug:
