Does the SLA 043 have a different strap than the 017?

Hi all, I had the 017 but found the strap to be tough for me as a dust collector. I see the 043 also comes on a black waffle and am wondering if Seiko fixed the dust magnet issue. Anyone know?

I've had no issues with dust whilst wearing the supplied black waffle strap with my 043, also I believe the hardware on the new 043 strap has been upgraded too.

Yeah I can confirm that it looks the same as the 017 strap but does not seem to collect dust the same way - maybe different material or treatment
