agree. Dont like the strap at all. Its clearly not a diver style strap and is tapered like the hornback. My guess is it fits the same tang buckle as the leather where as the diver rubber straps dont.

I like the watch though.

Thanks... But what about grey one with ceramic bezel... We call it Ghost, because of 20.000 photos of sihh on Instagram there is no sign of it...

the ceramic bezel looks great, the fine brushed finish matches the case

love the idea of that strap, but (from the pics) the texture, sheen of the rubber, the shade of the red are all off. hope its a prototype and they fix it in production

I was going to say they have the old grainy bezel but it does match this grainy strap I suppose. A new vertical brush bezel and smooth strap would have been better for me.

Yes the strap is just like the tapered rubber straps for the ROO 42 mm. The finish is what I dislike, however, the color combination is crazy awesome.

Didn't get to see it in person. Looks like it was around other meetings but so far I know no other media outlet saw it. I'll follow up with images of that one in a few weeks.

As far as I know and was told, the strap presented is not a prototype but the final product. I will inquire further.

Not too keen on the watch itself but that strap might works with my Ceramic Diver.
