Also Chris (a.k.a. Darkman) from Bali Ha'i has these too.  Very comfortable.

Great info and review from Steve. I benefited a lot and will check out watchprince to get me a few.

Just an input...... the thickness of the keepers should at least be equal to or greater than the strap's thickness because if they aren't, the keepers go kaput way, way ahead of the strap. This keeper "breakdown" problem is from desk work by desk divers like me using laptops on table surfaces, aside from the rigors of daily activities. This was my experience with the main keeper of my PAM Sub.

Buying a new strap just to get a keeper was absurd so I had to use a leather strap. With Steve's great input, I know where to go now. Thanks Stevehand6.gif

Learning from this, whenever I buy a leather strap, I always ask for an extra leather keeper. I also noticed the grade of the keeper is generally lower than that of the strap.

They should fit you fine.  I have two (2) on other watches and my wrist is 8.25 inches.  Trying to find one with orange stitching and a deployment buckle/clasp for my SD.

I am learning this to be true with this strap. the strap breaks in nicely, but it is a little bit long for my wrist. and the one keeper it comes with is not enough, and it is too small. I think for this strap a stainless steel keeper would be the best, but impossible to find, it would need to be custom made.

I too have been on the search for the perfect rubber.  My Debaufre Triton came fitted with the NBR Rubber strap that Steve was referring to.  It smells like vanilla and has been very comfortable and durable.  Another good quality strap that I have found is the Hirsch Pure which is "caoutchouc" rubber and is very comfortable.  It is about $50 which is a bit more expensive but it is also very nice.  The main difference between this strap and Steve's fromt he beginning of the post is the thickness of the straps, as the Hirsch is a bit thinner.
