I just received this new custom yellow and black strap from Survival Straps (http://www.survivalstraps.com). As you can see it is made from 550 parachute cord and I selected the colors with my Seiko in mind. I know it is a rather bold statement but so is a bright yellow dial.woohoo.gif I placed my order on a Saturday and received my strap on the next Friday and I am extremely pleased with this strap. The strap was easy to install and it is very, very comfortable; I would definitely recommend buying one! hand6.gifhand6.gif Another really nice feature about this company is that they donate a portion of their proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Foundation, very cool.   The unique and very cool looking buckle (IMHO) really add to the uniqueness of this strap. woohoo.gif   |

Thanks Nabco, Pax and Oagaspar for the kind words. I too was confused when I placed the order so I immediately sent them an email with two additional measurements.  They were the distance between pins in both inches and millimeters and the strap width (lug width) measurement. The next day I received an email from them telling me they understood what size strap I would need. :) I hope you can see from my photos that the fit is "spot on". Oagaspar, I ordered the regular width for my 22mm Seiko but I would order a "wide" for the 24mm. Paxman, I can understand your point of view; my wife was stunned that her 49 year old husband ordered a "surfer strap". All I have to say for myself is that I guess I never really grew up. yourock.gif Gentlemen, I hope this helps and didn't confuse you even more. I feel it is worth the trouble measuring the watch because I really like my surfer strap a great deal. hand6.gifhand6.gif P.S. I paid $27.70 for my strap to include postage, in my opinion I got a great deal! Last edited on Mon Jul 6th, 2009 07:24 pm by stormin13 |
