 Posted: Wed Aug 15, 2007 4:39 am Post subject: WHAT TYPE OF STRAP? |
 |
|
My Sub bracelet is scratch free. The same cannot be said for the clasp which I recently bumped somehow and it got an ugly diagonal scratch. :x
I have just sanded and polished the clasp until the marks have 99% gone. It took me so long so now I am contemplating buying a strap to wear and putting the bracelet away for a while.
I am considering leather, carbon, silicone and nylon. The latter being in a NATO band which was originally seen in the Bond movie Dr. No. I rather think the NATO will be the deal. They are available from an online dealer for less than $20.
In terms of comfort on the wrist, water resistant and safety, which do you think will be the best shot? I usually swim 3 times a week for fitness at our municipal Olympic pool.
Carbon; Croc, Calfskin or the NATO?
Thanks
Steve |

| I don't have experience of those but I do know the NATO is very popular and should meet your needs. I'd only buy croc if I wanted to be a snappy dresser. :lol: |

I have an SD on a Di-Modell "Carbonio Sport" from Bob Davis. It is waterproof, comfortable, and only $35. Double that and get one of Bob's outstanding DF deployants. It looks sharp and saves the bracelet.

Why change the bracelet? I guess it is okay if you don't like it. But if you do... :?
So what if it gets scratched. It just shows it's loved. :)

Yes you're probably right there John.

Steve, I had my 14060M on a NATO and found it very comfortable. Eddie at timefactors.com had the best quality of all the ones I had :D

The clasp does take some abuse...But, what the heck. You can't stop your car from being dinged either....no matter how far out you park..
What do folks do who wear their watch face inward ????? |
