Sinn rubber strap?

Post by demer03 » Sun Dec 09, 2012 5:43 am

The web is confusing. What strap fits the EZM3, and which clasp do I want?

I guess the first question should be, do I want it? The leather is coming off immediately and it's going on a Zulu.

Zulu/SS steel for me on that bad boy, but it's a 20mm lug if I remember correctly, so the smaller rubber and small deployant.

Congrats on a really cool piece!

Pretty sure this is the one you want

The watch looks good on the rubber, but I liked my EZM1 best on the bracelet. Isofrane would be another cheaper rubber option, but obviously won't have fitted ends.

I wore my EZM3 on a 20mm nylon strap and found it to be a great combo. My experience with the Sinn rubber is its a little bulky. Of course, the Di-Modell chronissimo is a classic alternative, combines the best of both!

Thanks guys. I don't like the thickness of isofranes. I'll wear it on a Zulu and think about this.

IMHO, Sinn rubber straps are among the best in the business. The fitting is superb.
only accurate watches are interesting

The Sinn rubber is just as thick as the iso I think. I didn't find it as comfortable as the iso.

I tend to agree with you. The Iso is a heck of a lot more comfortable.

Watchbuys also just added this rubber strap with tang buckle. I ordered one last night and will report back once I get it.

Matt was telling me about that yesterday. It is one they discontinued a while back, but Sinn re-introduced because everything else went up $100

While the Sinn rubber is nice, I'd only wear it on NATO/Zulu straps. I didn't even cut my U1 rubber, it went straight to NATO :)

Yeah, but you'd wear natos on a Patek. :lol:

I agree though, I never wore my U1 on rubber either. I'm gonna try the new (old) rubber with tang buckle though. I had some watchbuy points to use.
