That is exactly correct with the 22mm rubber strap on a DSSD. When I first used the Breitling Pro II on my DSSD I thought it was all good until one day I was playing with the rubber strap. I pinched it by the lug to see if the rubber will flex or if it would stay firm. The strap came off just like that. So, I sanded it just a tiny bit, put it back on the watch and the strap has stayed put ever since.

I will try out an Isofrane for my DSSD. I feel the Breitling is a bit too thick and so I hope the Isofrane will do the job. Thanks Patrick!
