Awesome Friday show 3T! 
K-Naut on Cuda rubber.


Awesome combo Chris !
Gray and yellow always a good match.
What's your opinion about the CUDA ?
Thanks Phil! 
Agreed...love the combo and the CUDA's are very sweet IMO (have this grey one installed on the K-Naut, and actually wore the MM300 yesterday with a 20mm black Cuda...sweet fit IMO!). I like the fact that the rubber is thicker around the lug bar area, so it fills in the gap much more effectively than an Iso on longer lugged pieces. This would only be an issue on short lugged pieces (say Anonimo or similar for instance)...I'd probably continue to use the Iso for those.
My only wish would be that the 22mm size was a straight 22/22 instead of tapered 22/20, but that's a minor nit. The 20mm size is a straight 20/20 size, and I actually like the 24/22 taper on the 24mm sized CUDA's.
Conclusion - The CUDA's are awesome rubber straps and more than a great alternative to the Iso...at a cheaper price too!!!!
...killer A8/CUDA combo today btw...very nice!!!
I agree with you regarding the thicker lug bar area.
Fits many watches of my collection better than a Iso or the old Benarufrane.
For me, the Isofranes are not worth their money. Too expensive...
The keeper of the Isofranes are really terrible. 
Regarding my A8...
Like the size of this watch very much. Perfect size for all days.
The A8 is my second test-watch (first test-watch was a MARANEZ, I sold a few weeks ago).
I'm still not sure if I like bronze watches.
Before I order another bronze watch I will test it with cheaper watches like the A8.
