 Hi 3T. I got quite a few straps from some of our strap sponsors lately. First on feature is a strap from SteveO to fit some of my watches and here is the first one: an all-black military strap. Steve executed well because my #1 spec was that the straps should be "bomb-proof".subtlelaugh.gif

Size is 75mm x 125mm to fit my 6.75 inch wrist. Width is 24mm and thickness is a hefty 6mm. The pad is about 3mm thick and I took Steve's advice to go 3mm for the pad otherwise the strap would be unwieldy.

Well today my sister arrived from California and I lost no time fitting the strap on my Enzo Mechana Classic. Hope you like the strap. Sorry for the crumby pix. Bad lighting today.

I feel so great today!!! Thanks, Steve.

Check out the new total height of the watch's case. I think the total height now is 21mm



Here's what the belly looks like:



I'd highly recommend to those of you keen on big, hefty, and monstrous wathces to add at least 1 military/bund strap to your collection. If you have a flagship diver or military-themed watch, a military strap is a MUST, in my opinion. One simply can't pass on a military strap. For sure, I'll get more straps soon maybe in gray versions and deep browns and tans.

Thanks for looking.woohoo.gif
