Zealande Strap on Milgauss

I received my Zealande strap for the Milgauss yesterday from Bordeaux, France. Had a phone call and a number of text messages from the company CEO, Alexandre, who is a major WIS as well. Packaging and attention to detail has been amazing. Their pricing is very competitive in comparison to RubberB, Horus, and Everest.

Below are some shots of the Zealande package and fitting!!! I like the alternative spring bars that were provided which helped assure the fit was correct. It definitely made the process easier. I'm impressed by the company, product, and their personal approach!!!

Zealande Strap on Milgauss

That looks really good Lee!
So they sent you multiple straight and curved springbars for you to select the best fit; you ended up using curved 1.8 MM ?

They make amazing straps and send you a nice package for installation. Definitely high quality and work the money. I put one on my seamaster and love it

Look very good. I prefer strap with the simple buckle to the clasp.

I absolutely adore my Rubber B on my GMT, but I've gotta admit that spending £150 on a strap which came in a plastic bag with thin piece of cardboard attached to it felt pretty poor show. Packaging and brand aesthetic on this looks absolutely bang on.

I'd be interested to know how pliable it is, the Rubber B's really quickly mould to your wrist.

Exactly; that worked the best. Again, very impressed with the company; I'd buy another from them for certain!!! I'm not certain why they included so many different spring bars; my question is about exactness of fit.

Whoever wrote that note needs to start putting M.D. at the end of their name.

Having spoken with Alexandre, I must say that he speaks primarily Parisian French and that English is definitely a second language. Maybe he not use to writing in English either and his hiding his difficulty. At any rate he called me from France because of some confusion which was pretty amazing receiving a call from the company CEO!!!
