Submariner tropic strap

I have seen photos of Submariner with tropic strap online. I like very much. Do you have photos of your Submariner with tropic strap?

Hot damn Adam I recently just bought that strap after commenting about it waaayyyy back. The moment it comes in is the moment the pics start flowing. Love the look.

Can't beat it for the price of a couple of natos. Still my favourite non-OEM strap.

Submariner tropic strap

Just got this UncleSeiko for my SD
Pretty close to perfect for a modern version of the original. The tapper to a 18mm buckle, and the added thickness makes for a nice stable fit.
2.5mm spring bars though, I'm using standard Rolex spring bars now, have some 2.5mm long end shoulder less in the mail.
The length is great on 7.5" wrist.
The buckle is ok, vintage retro style.
