As mentioned previously, I got a few straps from some of our strap sponsors and this one from SteveO is on feature. This is my MONSTER STRAP and is the thickest one in my entire collection. The strap is 24mm wide all the way, measures 75mm x 125mm to fit my 6.75 inch wrist and best of all, it's 7mm to 7.5mm thick....almost bomb-proofsubtlelaugh.gif. I think I'll attach it to my Dievas Aqua Luna together with one of my brushed pig buckles. Then maybe I'll try it on my PAM Submersible.



Here it is beside the Aqua Luna which right now is also on a SteveO black leather strap, though thinner at about 5.5mm



Steveo lost a couple of kilos executing this and even if he tried, he couldn't get one of the 2 keepers to fix --- the strap was simply too thick for his needles. And that's why they sort of look loose on the below picture.



Check out how thick the new strap is. It's almost as thick or slightly thicker than my cigarette lighter.



I think this one will last about 458 years, give or take a few monthssubtlelaugh.gif. Hope you like it. More straps to feature soon.

Thanks for looking.

Jeff, you sure go in for extremes!
You'll probably need a 10 ton truck to run over it a few times to break it in!subtlelaugh.gif
I have one such thick strap and it is actually quite comfortable.
So go on , fit that mother and take some pics!yourock.gifyourock.gif

Wow Jeff, this is a serious strap :shock:.  I personally never saw something that thick.  I love it... Are you sure SteveO needed only one cow to do this one? subtlelaugh.gif  The poor animal must feel naked now with a chunk of skin like that missing! :D  Enjoy it my friend, it will be amazing on your submersible for sure, and I could not think of any other buckles to fit this strap better, it's a perfect combo, well done hand6.gif

Got any pic's of that monster on your wrist? I'm thinking it might be perfect for the Montstrum.
