Not for me. Like the leather, just not the holes.

Same here.

Stevec14 · 25 January 2018, 04:12 AM

No substitute for the bracelet, but it doesn’t look too bad for an occasional change up in my eyes....

Tanner · 25 January 2018, 04:12 AM

i think it looks terrible.

sorry.

No

Mystro · 25 January 2018, 04:13 AM

No way. Too much mass on top for a strap.

yessir69 · 25 January 2018, 04:14 AM

No no no no no put the bracelet back on please.

Duey · 25 January 2018, 04:14 AM

Bracelet Only

mjclark32 · 25 January 2018, 04:15 AM

Eh, not a big fan myself...
I’ve tried leather a bunch on my 16610 and never succeeded. The modern divers don’t look good on leather imo.

solesman · 25 January 2018, 04:15 AM

Ghastly. Sorry. Hopefully, Everest will release a rubber strap soon for the SD50. That would be my choice aside from the bracelet.

watchwatcher · 25 January 2018, 04:18 AM

Not crazy about it, TBH. But...I'm a bracelet guy.

Colin10101 · 25 January 2018, 04:20 AM

Not for me, bracelet is better.

mtgjr · 25 January 2018, 04:22 AM

Whhhhhyyyyyy?!?!?!!!

LuminousMaximus · 25 January 2018, 04:27 AM

At first glance, not so much, but how does it wear compared to the bracelet?

Funny enough I feel the top of the watch a little more. Like top heavy. At the moment the leather is stiff, so it does not slide around smoothly like the Ss bracelet.

I generally like the racing strap look; not this one however.

travisb · 25 January 2018, 04:28 AM

Not for me..

levic900rr · 25 January 2018, 04:28 AM

If you have to take the bracelet off I'd say got Nato...

But

Steel>nylon

^^^^A leather strap on a dive watch is questionable given the application.

Not all nato staps are leather.

Maybe levic900rr meant a nylon nato?

Loevhagen · 25 January 2018, 04:28 AM

Always the bracelet.

aquatimerfla · 25 January 2018, 04:30 AM

Bad combo

Dive watches are not meant to be worn on leather straps

Rrpdc · 25 January 2018, 04:30 AM

not for me, maybe rubber b or Everest rubber would be ok .

rossi46 · 25 January 2018, 04:31 AM

A racing strap on an SD? No-go for me.

I think a vintage, scruffy looking tan strap w/o stitching would look great, though! Think more Panerai.

I agree ..I will buy one if these too.
Just thought the black might be OK. But may be in the summer...with a total shirt.
Not sure yet.
I have a black with red stich in on the radar too. Thanks all for the feedback.
