Love that Searambler combo Oscar!
Boring you again with the Super Sea Wolf 68...maybe just one more day!
Stunning Chris!
Love the look of this rubber.
Looks like a BC rubber.
What's your thoughts about this combo?
What do you prefer, rubber or mesh?
Thanks Phil!
Well, you know me...I favor dive rubber straps quite a bit, and so I prefer the rubber here for overall comfort. I will say that the Zodiac is a 20mm tapering to 18mm strap, so it's got a nice vintage vibe to it, but my personal preference for straps that are 20mm wide or less would be to have a straight 20mm strap with no taper (as those offered by Bonetto Cinturini and Isofrane for example).
All my opinion, of course, but I think the 20mm-18mm tapered strap looks just a little bit undersized on this one given the watch size, but I'm getting used to it after a couple days. The cool thing about the BC 281 is that it looks like the strap flares a bit past the lug width, and then finally tapers very little to 20mm, so it may have the appearance of a slightly wider strap. I may have to try one.
BTW (which do you prefer?...looks like you've been going between the BC281 and the BC321 on your various Sharkmaster versions!). Good stuff there!
