I purchased a 20mm smooth, pure white FKM strap. I really like it, great fit and feel. Only nitpick is that the smooth straps are really long. The straight-end smooth straps are 75x140mm, compared to an ISOFrane which are 75x125mm. A stock Seiko STO rubber strap is 130 or 135mm on the long end. If you have smaller wrists you are going to have a lot of excess strap on the long end.

These look great. Would be nice to have a “short” option for us small wrist folk!

Thanks for always creating, Marc! You seem to really enjoy what you are doing, and we all benefit from it.

Thanks a lot for bringing in the FKM rubber straps and giving us the option between metal and rubber keepers. And please bring back the Northport Seafoam in stock soon, cant wait to pick one up when it is available.

I've been wanting the cyan? blue Squale watch but the Islander sky blue is looking pretty nice on here with the white strap. Thanks.

wauw nice straps mark and that islander with the white strap thats a dream !!! i need a islander but i live in holland i just keep dreaming

Been really happy with the blue Southold I picked up last month. I had been eyeing it since its release, and was stoked to see the sale. It's a great watch. I'm not quite ready to fiddle with strap options yet, cuz i really like it on the bracelet...but if I were...which color fkm would you match it with? Just curious. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Nice straps, look like top quality (I didn't expect less from you)

@chuckgladfelter

They're making their own FKM straps, but I bought Mark's version for the long length. FWIW I broke one of Barton's regular silicone straps where the spring bar goes through. The Elite silicone seems ok, though. I would still buy from Mark because he seems to care a lot about quality. I could have lost my expensive watch with that Barton strap. All of Barton's other straps seem ok and I like them.

Happy Holidays Mark!

I was very surprised at the softness of the seiko turtle and willard straps. The Hamilton khaki diver rubber strap in comparison is much harder and slightly rougher, I regret paying the premium. How would you compare the softness of these to seiko turtle strap ?

8.5 will be a stretch. A bracelet with extra links would be the best bet. We can include the bracelet links for free if you get one.
