Jeff...just for reference, here is my Orsa Sea Viper on the 22mm Timefactors retro strap that Oscar so nicely referenced above.

No doubt that these are very comfy and soft and the price is great! (with the downside being they do attract dust and lint quite easily).

The Timefactors strap is available in a regular (non-flat ends) version, and a flat ends version.  I have both...I'm tending to prefer the regular version for really filling in the lug gap, but the flat end versions work really well if you are trying to work with a watch that has really short lugs (I have the flat-ends version on my Seiko Orange Monster...really short lugs...and it fits perfect).
