I just wanted to share this find.

I was browsing Amazon when I happened to stumble across a rubber strap made by Marathon that is said to be "Vulcanized" which as many of you likely know is the same rubber technology that well known companies Rubber B and Everest import.

So here's the kicker, this strap was $19.99. At 22mm, the design is simple and sleek and amazingly somehow compatible with the vintage look of the black bay, I figured I had to try. Can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I am.

This strap has the feel of the high end rubber straps. It's been in the shower with me, worn under heavy layers with no lint attraction or indication of drying out or discoloration. It certainly looks and feels every penny as good as my Everest strap, the styling is pretty darn cool and of course the price can't be beat.

Anyhow, highly recommended!!!

Enjoy some pics.

Thanks, i honestly think the feel of the strap competes with those of a much higher price point, as well as the looks.

I can vouch for this brand - Bonetto Centurini. I put one on my Seiko. Awesome fit and quality. Even came with spring bars which fit. My Seiko bars were too large.

I also purchased this Marathon rubber strap and it's really comfortable. I had purchased a Hadley Roma strap but it was too stiff. This strap is great. You can't beat it for $20.00. Here is a picture .I put it on my Seiko mod.
