for the new orsa. After several emails to shane at delaurian, I have a el diablo strap being made with the double buckle and 6mm thick leather and curved lug ends to fit the case. Man is this gonna cost! I borrowed a pic from his site of what it looks like. tell me what you all think. Attachment: 100_5915.jpg (Downloaded 45 times) |

No, Nicky hayden our new motogp champion! I don't think it will fit under the racing suit though. Its tough enough to get the old twig and berries in the damn thing.face4.gif |

yes he's doing waterproofs. I'm sending him one of the Vixas so he can measure the curve on the case. I want it fitted tight. he will then have that for future Vixa's. |

I really like my Vixa's. There very under rated I think. For such a big watch, they wear very well. |

Anybody else got any other strap ideas..........I know that this is unusual, but I find the oem rubber/silicon strap uncomfortable. Does it take some "wear-in" time? It is a hefty, substantial strap....but it is (at least initially) not nearly as comfortable as my Daniel Mink Diver silicon strap! The watch itself is...........simply outstanding! |

Truth be told I found the stock strap a bit stiff initially, too. It did soften up and it is outstanding when wet. The silicon strap is purposeful like the watch!!  |

Ken, Felt the same for me...until I streached it out. I simple boiled some water and put the strap in it for a couple of minutes, pulled it out and streached the strap. Nuts I know but made it more pliable and comfortable for me. |

Pretty good idea there. On my leather straps, I use snow seal. Use a hair dryer on the strap to get it hot, then rub in as much as it will take, then rub off the excess. It also water proofs them. I use that stuff on my motorcycle suits and gloves. |

Great ideas.............I use Snow Seal, too, but instead of warming the strap, gloves, et al, I place the snow seal can in an inch of boiling water and liquify the Snow Seal....then apply it. |

I've seen a number of his straps in pictures, but it will be nice to handle one for a change. I had planned on getting a rubber rasmus, but 195.00 was pretty steep for rubber. The hand-made strap is a little less and includes shipping. When straps get up to the 200.00 range, I think hand-made is the way to go. I haven't seen a off the shelf leather strap worth that yet. |

Quite franky, there are no straps or bracelets worth over $200 unless they contain precious metals...................yes, really! |
