New Rubber - Bonetto Cinturini

I’ve had so many straps on this watch, but hoping this is “the one.”

On this Seiko diver I really enjoy nice thick rubber straps, but the doubled up thickness on a traditional buckle is annoying. Another problem is my small wrists and typical long length of standard straps.

This new BC cut to fit rubber seems to solve those problems. No extra length, no doubled up at buckle, all in a thick natural rubber.

My only negative, if any, is the clasp is constructed of thin stamped metal. But at this price point (very affordable) I’d expect nothing less.

Thumbs up from me.

Love and own many variations of Bonetto Cinturini straps. Looks great on your Seiko diver.

Oh, wanted to also add a thumbs up to “Holbens Fine Watch Bands” here in the US for a large selection of BC straps and free shipping. They got my order out the door quick, it was the USPS that decided “arriving late.”

Candidly I wish the vanilla was toned down. It is a pleasant fragrance, but I could pass on my arm smelling like vanilla!
