Cool new rubber strap for the Seatime!

Got this yesterday from Bob Davis. The story is the product manager walked onto the production floor with a Panerai rubber strap and said, "make one like this without Panerai on it". They did good too. I think it's better and it only cost $20.





Cheers and Happy New Year
Bruce

That looks hot, hot, hot!!! But I think I miss the silver bezel already!! Am I the only one that liked that combo? That watch is a stunner Bruce, and that is a perfect combo strap there.

Thanks Daren! I like the ss bezel too, but I'd like it better if it had a lume dot on it.

Didn't even think of that, you are right!

The silver gives it a bit of an AP but tougher look to me.

Now this one I like with the strap, Bruce. Better than the GMT. And especially with the black bezel (ignore Daren, he doesn't know what he's talking about and his taste is somewhat questionable ).

It is Peter, but they really shouldn't cost anymore than that! I bet they cost $2 to make once the tooling is set up.
