Any recs for softer, more flexible, and more comfortable straps?
Lots of straps are too stiff and thick to be really comfortable.

So far, my favorite is the CU29 from Micah (vintager).

i have found this to be very soft and comfortable. (from memory, it is about 4mm thick, soft leather)

IMO - the thinner ones suits the Radiomir better. a thicker ones would suit the Luminor better.

my OEM black jv 27/20 for deploy. before I found a radiomir deployant I wore it with the 22mm buckle that came with the watch. there were small gaps on either side but it worked fine. it's definitely nicer with the deployant buckle, though.

it is very soft, thin, flexible and comfortable.

+1 on Micah being soft (even on his ammos) as he backs them with pliable leather that wraps really well.

My Codman is really soft.

I also have a really soft Rob Montana (just ask him for a softer one).

Who makes that strap?

Also, I agree. Despite being slightly larger (in diameter at least) my Rad wears much smaller than my Luminor. I really don't like non-tapered straps on the Radiomir, but prefer them on the Luminor.
