I got in on the DWP pre-order last June, but when it arrived in March I had mixed emotions about it.  Something wasn't clicking for me with the bracelet.



When the OEM rubber came in, I thought that might be the solution, but my large wrists meant it didn't fit right.




After that I decided to just tuck it away for awhile and decide whether to sell it or not. 

Enter Scott (aka Timesofplenty) and Arsenal Straps.  We've all drooled over the watches & straps in his posts on the WRUW threads, so I decided to check out what he had for sale. 

Turns out, my 8.5" wrist isn't going to work with standard straps, so Scott kindly worked with me to make a custom strap and get the right fit & stitching on the type of leather I wanted.  The BB photos don't really do it justice, but it came in last night and I couldn't wait to share.  Everyone with a chunky diver owes it to themselves to consider an Arsenal strap.

Now on to the photos of my new custom 1940s Swiss Ammo leather strap....

Good blend! I guess that the original trouble with the steel bracelet is that it had a straight shape: It should have come around the case to look right.
This vintage leather fits much better than the rubber anyway. I would also have tried it on a black 5 rings Zulu for outdoor/water activities
