Sounds good, looking forward to it Tony.

Here are a couple pictures I took yesterday. Very impressed. I tried it with the diver extension but took it off. It looks better without it. Swap was effortless and the fit between the lugs is just perfect. This is my second rubber b strap and I like this one the most out of the two. The texture and quality is top notch. The red detail gives it a very cool touch.

Looks good, thanks for sharing! Would you mind taking a few more wrist shots from a little bit further back. I’d like to see how it looks with the red striping on the sides when on the wrist. Thanks!

looks cool!

bravetony · 21 July 2018, 01:06 AM

Sure man! Your thread is how I got this strap! I really like it. The red is just a cool accent imo, when you look at it from the top you can't notice it which I like.

I like the red detail as well. I would also like to see one that flares similar to the DSSD. I find that to be a cool look.

Thanks Tony! The strap looks awesome on the SD43, I just wish they put a tang buckle out. I’m not crazy about needing to swap out the clasp everytime I change out the bracelet though, was this your first time doing that and how difficult was it?

bravetony · 21 July 2018, 02:09 AM

no problem, took me about 5 minutes.(Bergeon Springbar tool & screwdriver) I don't think I would've gotten it with a tang buckle if it was available. To me it takes a bit away from the OEM look & feel. But that's just me. Have a great weekend my friend & appreciate a lot keeping us informed about this!

the red accent turns out very good from that wrist shots.

I hear ya, my thought process is you’re already changing out the bracelet so you’re losing a bit of OEM anyways but the glidelock is nice to provide the micro adjustments. How is the fit and feel in comparison to the bracelet? To me the bracelet feels incredible on the wrist but I wonder how the rubber strap fairs against it? You have a great weekend as well

bravetony · 21 July 2018, 03:48 AM

There's nothing like the Oyster Bracelet. You just can't compare the two. It feels lighter and comfortable definitely. I would even dare to say that it looks and feels like a Rolex product but the Oyster Bracelet competes with no none IMO.

Is it more comfortable? I bought my SD for hiking, camping, and general outdoor activity. It wears a bit heavy for me in those pursuits. In your opinion does the rubber strap make it more wearable?

bravetony · 21 July 2018, 05:09 AM

This is my second day wearing it. Its super comfortable. I don't do any of those activities but your wrist will be lighter for sure.

your photos ( real life) are a much better reflection of the red .

bravetony · 21 July 2018, 05:22 AM

TBH I don't think it looks as good in the pictures. The texture and feel is pretty amazing. & the red is matched perfectly to the red on the dial.
