I liked the strap when I tried on your Soarway diver.


Shortly after trying it on, I ordered the straps...

One hell of a wait.
Not trying to turn this into another Kobold bashing thread but......I can't understand why anyone would do business with a company like that. :scratch:
It would certainly appear that more and more people are choosing not to do business with them. I bet they don't sell 150 watches a year.

Came in from taking wrist shot and put the MBII back on Art's leather.

Art's strap is so much more comfortable and looks better, too.




I'll give the Kobold a chance on the Damasko.

Matt, I bet if you wash those straps in the sink they break in perfect. And them maybe spray them with some kind of scothguard.

They do get dirty. I haven't needed to wash one, but I bet you could just run it through with your laundry.

I'd be screwed if they shrink, barely getting to second hole.

You might be able to stretch them when they are wet so they dry to the correct length.

Depends on how much alcohol is involved.
