New Horus Strap, Very Nice!!!!

Hi all, I ordered this rubber strap from Horus. I really think that it looks great on my Explorer II 216570. It's gray camo. If interested, check out their homepage. My wrist size is 7. If your wrist size is larger it will be too short but 7 and under no problemcamo buckle.jpg

Horus makes really good high end rubber straps. Some of them are a little tacky, but they're super comfortable and well made. Got one for my YM, white with a red stripe, but haven't put it on because I'm scared of scratching up the lugs with a strap change hah. My friend has a similar camo strap from Horus on his PAM779 and it looks great.

If you sign up for emails they have pretty regular sales and coupon codes too.

Hopefully you don’t experience this but my black one collected lint and dust in weird way. They replaced it and again the same. I returned both and moved on.mSilicone is a no go on a watch strap for me. Seems they now offer FKM rubber that should solve this issue.

From the photos it seems like it could be happening to OP. I tried to like horus but compared to my AP diver the horus felt very poorly made. Not sure if it's because the AP rubber is so good or the horus isn't that great.

That’s the difference between silicone and FKM rubber. Even the Casio Duro uses an FKM rubber. Those Horus straps are garbage. What other legit manufacturer uses silicone for their straps? No one should.
