Isofrane
Re: Isofrane
Must be summertime in FL
I love them as well. I don't understand the too thick/long argument. For what they are meant to be, they're perfect.

Re: Isofrane
So for someone who's never owned one, why do these garner so much love?

Re: Isofrane
They simply are the best. Some may come close but they stand alone at the top IMO.
The price sucks but they are the standard.

I've gone through a love-hate cycle with them. I currently love them.

I can get away with leather or canvas from November through most of May. Isofrane is perfect the rest of the year. Bracelets aren't great because my wrist size changes a lot throughout the day due to the heat and humidity.hoppyjr wrote:All of the above.

Omega adjustable clasp will make the PO perfect. We have the same problem.
Re: Isofrane
I need to get another. I still don't have one for the MM300.

Too long and thick for me, personally.

Re: Isofrane
As a daily wear I prefer the Hirsch Pure. As a dive strap I like the Isofrane but the new Seiko Prospex rubber strap is better IMO. And cheaper.

I can only imagine what you're doing with them, but none of mine are sticky.

Re: Isofrane
For me it all depends on the watch.
I find them kinda thick so they only work on certain watches for me.
I find them perfect on the 015 Tuna.
The best rubber strap I've worn is the vintage isofrane in 20mm. It's super thin and feels great. I wish they would reproduce them. It is nearly perfect on every hug from a thick and heavy Tag super pro to a light weight titanium EZM1.

Re: Isofrane
They look good on the right watch. I have tried wearing them and don't like the feel.
cheers,

Re: Isofrane
This is true about every strap, though. People try to put Isofranes on small watches and then blame the strap.BBK357 wrote:For me it all depends on the watch.

Re: Isofrane
Yeah, personally I don't think they work on Omegas other than the Ploprof; I've tried them on my SMPc and SMPC chrono, and they don't look right 'cause of the case gap (although the chrono isn't as bad as I thought it'd be). I find them perfect for the Seawolf, though.

Re: Isofrane
I think it's partly because of being used to seeing curved-end straps on POs and SPMs that I notice a gap, and that the pin-bar holes are near the end of the lug. On the Seawolf, the holes are closer to the case.
