Panda with diver strap is that possible?

I went to WEMPE in Hamburg and tried the Panda with hornback. Oh man its so UNCOMFORTABLE! But I just love the bloody watch. Then later I tried the Diver in Selfridges in London, oh boy it fits perfect due to the strap! And the buckle looks so robust. I feel like Batman when wearing the watch with this buckle.

Any of you guys with diver strap on a panda or any other ROO Chronos? Just wondering if its possible :D

First of all, the fit of the watches are different because of the chronograph complication vs waterproofness which results i slightly different case thickness. But yes, you can fit a diver strap on the Panda if you want to, which might be more comfortable on your particular wrist because of the tang buckle + it is a wider strap as it tapers less.

I'm not sure a Panda on a rubber strap looks that great though...

The rubber strap would fit and also look very cool on the Panda

You can use rubber strap from RC. I have to say though I find the hornback quite comfortable.

Try the Survivor silicone strap. That is also supposed to be supremely comfortable.
