Thanks Mark same to you!

That is a very cool list Sam - I really like the way you used the symbols to indicate your purchased and review straps. I wish had known about the Zuludiver last year for my MM300. Thank you for another excellent video :)

Hey Jeffrey, thanks. I have been trying to figure a way of being as transparent as possible! But for the stuff I do get to keep its all stocking up that box again for the Christmas giveaway

Top Video!🙂👍

Nice set of straps Sam. I’m going to go online and pick up an Uncle Seiko bracelet for a 6139 that I’m getting restored. I love his work as you do too!

Hey Tod, he does a great job honestly! You will have to send me a photo of the watch once you get the strap!

The Casual Watch Reviewer - absolutely! It’s a rare JDM variant so should look great on Uncle Seiko.

I really like a shark mesh style strap when the weather gets warmer

I was not convinced about the zuludiver when I got it but I really like it. Maybe worth the extra to get the watchgeko deployant

Hey, I have been wearing that a lot this week. I only unwrapped the blue last night and it attaches differently. So I had to watch the tutorial on his website!

The Casual Watch Reviewer -ok, I’ll be sure to check that out, got the ‘raw denim’ color for my Pepsi Samurai.

Nothing beats an elastic strap in terms of comfort and looks in the summer (maybe perlon). Personally, Erika's is probably the best out there, however, it's hard to justify the cost next to a Manke or Watch Sterward.

Hey Rusty, I agree. I would love to try Erikas straps but I can’t justify the cost. I even asked to borrow one and send it back.

Beat nato straps Haveston . Steinhart and helm canvas straps only are very well made.

Not tried the Haveston straps to be fair. Someone mentioned they are similar to the armilla ones.

The Armilla for me. I like the look of the Steward, but the clasp just doesn't look solid enough for my liking. Maybe for a cheap tool watch but not for something of high value?

Can you review those books? Look interesting 🤓

I could! Also they are all available on the book store on my Amazon store if you follow the link in the description.

Great video! What Could u recommend some dive style rubber straps for my small wrist 5.75''inc. it's for my Seiko skx013 has 20mm lug width. I really hates when excess strap sticking out when it's too long, unfortunately pretty much all of dive straps r too long for me it seems. Cheers

yes, I would check out barton bands, they offer two lengths with every strap. A short end and a long end. They are great straps also.

@@CasualWatchReviews Many tks for ur reply. I bought a Barton elite rubber strap. Yes it fits perfectly as u said, but I'm not 100% sure how its durability ? Coz some says it's not best quality for divers watches ? Anyway they r very comfortable apart from been not sure about the quality of the material for long hard use. What u recon ? Cheers !

What do you think of Isofrane-style straps? I find they work really good on larger dive watches. I say Isofrane-Style because an actual Isofrane is around $150. I see you have a Boldr Globetrotter Batman. How do you like it? You have plans on reviewing it? What did you think of the strap it came on? I have one so I’m curious what you think.

Hey, I have that boldr in for review, its borrowed. I will be doing a full review this week. I really want to try an isofrane strap but like you say they are very expensive. And I'm not sure how amazing they could be to justify the price tag. I see the isofrane 'style' ones on eBay but again not sure of the quality!

The Casual Watch Reviewer Toxic Natos actually makes an Isofrane-style Silicon Strap for around $30, I have one and it’s great. Real Isofranes are natural rubber, and not worth the price useless you going to put it on a higher end Diver. I have one on an Aquadive Bathyscape 100 ( they come on them, and are part of the same company now)very nice but the ToxicNATOs one is basically just as good.

Uncle seiko is suppose to be coming out with a 20mm gl831

That would be awesome, whatever rubber mix he is using for that strap is amazing really. So soft but without attracting dust or lint from all over the place!

Which watch is on the Uncle Seiko strap? Looks like a sterile dial?

Hi Xavier, I had two uncle seiko straps in the video, one was the citizen promaster and the other I believe was my Invicta prodiver I customized

Another great video Sam! Thanks for being transparent about the free vs purchased straps!! Keep it up my man!
