22 mm curved end rubber strap suggestions?

[yoast]

As the title states, I'm looking for a good black rubber strap to fit my skx007.

I'd like a curved end strap which has that little extra part at the bottom that sits there to ensure there is no gap.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Try Uncle Seiko. He has options for this. I don’t have one for the SKX in particular but I’ve had good luck with his other (non fitted) straps.

Thank you

Crafter Blue is another good option for SKX and Turtle. I bought the blue version for my SKX009 and I love it.

Definitely another vote for Uncle Seiko. Save you plenty over the Crafter Blue model and just as good quality.

Thanks! Will check them out

My Crafter Blue curve end rubber strap is very uncomfortable on my 7 1/2 wrist. It presses on my wrist bone, and my Seiko SRP773 doesn’t sit flat. I now have a Barton Elite Silicone strap. However, It’s not a curve end strap.

I agree with your thoughts on the crafter blue. They did not fit my wrist correctly either.

The Barton has undersized spring bars. I would not use that on my Seiko diver.

Watch Gecko in the UK do some really nice rubber straps that go well with the 007....worth checking them out, not expensive either, and the service is terrific.

So far, the Elite Silicone strap from Barton has held up well on my my Seiko turtle SRP773. There quick release pins fit nice and snug.

I guess they must be special spring bars because they only come with a .8mm tip. The Seiko SRP uses a 1.2mm version.

For the crafter blue straps after you wear them for a week or so they start to break in and conform to the shape of your wrist.

It helps if you crank them down on a watch pillow at night too - then they curve around your write a little better.

My favorite thing about the crafter blue straps are the keepers! With the factory seiko rubber straps the long end of the strap constantly comes out! Not so with the crafter blue!

I had my CB on a turtle SRP773 for about 6 months. The strap wasn’t comfortable. It pressed on my wrist bone. And the watch didn’t sit flat. I put on a Barton Elite Silicon strap, in navy. The Barton is much more comfortable, and the watch sits flat now.

The CB is definitely a quality strap. However, it just wasn’t the right strap for me.

Same here. Pretty disappointing. I owned the CB for 3 different watches and had the same results each time.
