That is one of the nicest combos I have ever seen on a Rolex!! I really like it alot!! Funny though, I have been wearing the YM recently because I kinda still am a bracelet guy at heart.

Hmmm, I don't know, Bruce. I'm sure the strap is comfortable, but visually it takes some getting used to. Not sure yet if I like the look. But, hey, that's just MHO.

Bruce - That is a great looking strap. Where did you purchase it? Also is Bob Davis an online seller? Thanks.

That strap is very nicely set off by the wine/black bezel. Wear it in good health! George |

Gmt Looks Good
Hey Bruce:
A GMT MASTER II with a carbon strap. Fantastic idea man. Three questions please:
My 16710 is a little uncomfortable on the wrist with the SEL bracelet in hot weather. We are currently in very hot weather! I thought of Nylon and rubber, but they are worse. The carbon strap might be the answer. Fantastic photo's Bruce!! Steve |

It fits the lugs just fine. Covers up the spring bar. Like most straps it doesn't cover the side of the case all that well, but it looks good enough for me. Cheers, Bruce Last edited by BruceS; 3 January 2006 at 12:58 AM.. |

NIce Bruce. Kinda like my ExpII on the carbon. I find it quite comfortable. I've been going back and forth between the leather and the carbon. I haven't had the bracelet on in about a month.

I ordered a Di-Modell carbon from Bob 'cause I'm doing my product research He also got some quality single fold deployants so I ordered that to try out as well. I'm really hoping I like it 'cause I love Breitlling's single fold, but haven't found an aftermarket one yet that's comfortable. A guy posted some cool shots of his Seadweller on carbon and shark on the WUS Rolex forum last night. You should check it out. Who says Rollies have to be worn on a bracelet!! |

I agree. Although when (note, 'when') I order another strap, I'm going to avoid the curved end straps. The ones at watchprince and I assume most others, have the curved pins and because the pin holes on the horns are a few mm away from the case, it makes the gap between the case and the strap larger, albeit consistent. A straight end strap fills the gap better, and because Rolex doesn't 'finish' the case behind the end link, it looks rough.
Personally I think the padded 'Breitling-style' straps work best with sports Rolex watches, i.e., with contrasting stitching. |
