Incoming!

Traded my aquanaut fot the elephant. Needed something more substantial!
Also picked up the grey rubber diver strap for it, which I believe it should have come with in the first place.

So that you don't hurt your shoulder patting yourself on the back...I'll do it for you -

Well done, great move.

Enjoy that great AP!

Rubber looks great on the Elephant too

that's a great move! I'm considering adding rubber to my greytheme too. Did you get a new tang bucket with the grey rubber?

Good move! Congrats on the elephant! 100% agree on the grey rubber. Mine has never been back on leather.

Yes, you have to get another buckle, too. As the stap is wider, you need a 24mm buckle. The regular hornback strap has a 20mm buckle. (it's worth it though)

Indeed ! I unfortunately couldn't bond with it... I thought I could but it was just lacking a bit in size for me...
