Hey all,

I am on a search for the "perfect" strap for my orange Zeno Army diver.  While the bracelet is nice and well made, it is just a bit too 'bling' for my taste.  I just put the watch on a diamond pattern Italian rubber deployant, and while it looks OK it is just a bit on the blah side.  I figure a classic style like what was supplied with the Time Factors PRS-50 would be perfect but Eddie only had them in 22mm.  Zeno has the same strap listed on their website in 20mm but it's out of stock.
I tried a rubber Oyster, a NOS Tropic (too thin) and a Rhino though I would prefer rubber.  Have any of you spotted a vintage style rubber strap without shoulders?  The Zeno lugs are too deep for any of the regular shoulder style rubber dive straps.  The only ones I think would fit the deeper lugs are the Seiko 20mm Marine master, which are very stiff as I had one and sold it, and the Seiko "Sawtooth" strap.  The problem with the Sawtooth is that it a little more modern style.

Thanks!
Griff
