MM300. What are ...

Post by marchone » Thu Nov 03, 2016 1:11 pm

... the best leather straps for an MM300?

Tapered or straight? Pics are welcome.

Honestly, my Art canvas is the best version so far. I wear it and a ToxicRoyal most of the time on it. Then the next best is the ToxicRoo in tan. I wouldn't use a taper on the MM, it is to heavy, and the taper would have to be 18mm which is to small imo.

^^Oh I am totally shilling. Now I do like the Crafterblue rubber strap, but at the price it sells for I wouldn't buy it again. Just my .02

I have one at home I don't use I'll bring it along to NYC
I have one of those on my speedmaster. Good and cheap. It tapers to 18mm, if you care Wayne.

They're all good but the canvas ones pop.

The correct answer is Isofrane.

It's tough to get isofrane through the keepers, but I'm sure that's by design so the tail doesn't come back out.

I'm not fond of tang buckles or vents in my straps. YMMV.

Do you have the same problem of Isofrane creating small flower beds of hair on your wrist? :lol:

Nah. I'm practically hairless. I just think Isofranes are ugly.

I hear this a lot. I've never once had trouble putting one on, but I guess some do.

Use a ToxicRubber. Those are easier to slide in.
