Seamaster Diver 300m with Aqua Terra Rubber Strap

Hello!

This strap does fit. Used the 20mm curved spring bars the AD had in stock.

Nice work! I wondered about this. Having just dropped $340 on the 300m rubber strap and tang buckle at Bellagio I don't think I'll be doing this for awhile but I will do it.

If I recall from my AT that setup is over $500?

Do the metal pieces in the strap come with it when ordered?

I had to order the rubber strap, deployment and end links. The end links are sold individually so two had to be ordered but they do come with the pins that attach them to the rubber strap. The AD provided the spring bars for free. The oem spring bars won’t fit (unless you bend them)

Looks great.
Do rubber insets touch the bezel? Any issue during rotating the bezel?

I believe they are integral with the rubber, so yes. EDIT: looks like I was wrong, sorry!
I saw this done with the black/sedna version, and the sends gold ‘end link’ In the strap looked fantastic.

Looks FANTASTIC! If you don’t mind sharing ... what is the total cost for the setup?

The rubber strap does not interfere with the bezel at all.

Don’t remember what I paid but my A.D. was able to source The pieces for me in a few weeks at whatever the list price is. I did not receive a discount but I’m sure it’s possible

So the end links are in with the strap when purchased?

Thanks!

The chrome end links that fit in the notch of the strap are sold separate from the strap and are sold individually

Just ordered the blue for my Aqua Terra and the black for my Bond SE black. Right around 650 for each set of strap, end pieces and clasps.

Should be here Monday.

Looks almost like it was made for that watch! Does the rubber sit just a bit proud of the lugs? It looks like just a very small amount of rubber sitting higher than the lugs, but I could be wrong.

I wish all of the Seamaster Diver 300m came with a strap like this tailored specifically to these models that had a deployant buckle. So much better, in my opinion, then the tang buckle that currently comes on the rubber strap for this model. I think the pattern on the AT rubber strap also looks really nice.

That looks great! I wonder if I order that setup from my AD if it'll get here before the pin buckle I've been waiting on since December...
