I was actually searching for a rubberstrap fitting my Deepsea
but I had only leatherstraps at home.

So that’s the result.

Looks imho not so bad.

TattooedGQ · 1 July 2010, 03:43 AM

Very Panerai-ish....I like it!

malaplace · 1 July 2010, 03:53 AM

I like it too. I'd be interested in doing this. What strap/size is that? How difficult is it to pull the stock bracelet off?

Using a spring-bar-tool it's not really difficult.

But you have to take care to prevent scratches.

I tried various straps on my DSSD as well, at the end the Rolex bracelet is the most comfortable to wear. Looks good though!

lamnyc · 1 July 2010, 05:04 AM

I like it. Has a very Summer look.

Jim232118 · 1 July 2010, 05:06 AM

Looks good!

Dan Pierce · 1 July 2010, 05:19 AM

Well done.

nauticajoe · 1 July 2010, 05:38 AM

Very nice.

boa2 · 1 July 2010, 05:50 AM

Gotta say...that works famously!

strictly personal taste here, but would have preferred going the black on black route.

somehow the otherwise gorgeous tannish brown strap just seems to be clashing (vs. complementing) against the black bezeled DS.

but hey, you like it and you're happy and that's what matters most!!!

congrats again!

jrpb · 1 July 2010, 07:10 AM

love it, the browns looks pukka against the face

Sponon · 1 July 2010, 07:14 AM

I have never been fond of Rolexes on straps (except nato/zulu). But this was actually pretty cool. Nice combo

My thoughts as well !

TheDude · 1 July 2010, 07:36 AM

I love the Deepsea on strap. I think it changes the look of the watch entirely but in a good way.

ersnyder · 1 July 2010, 08:07 AM

Better than "not so bad." It looks very nice! But, the whole water thing might present some challenges with a stitched leather strap.

mhmfao · 1 July 2010, 08:48 AM

That saddle leather strap looks great!
Makes me want to have one.
V/R,
Mike

Watch Professor · 1 July 2010, 09:12 AM

Not bad, but it looks better on the beacelet.

Watch Professor · 1 July 2010, 09:12 AM

That should be bracelet.

ibramr · 1 July 2010, 09:21 AM

Done in a very nice taste, touche. The only point is that the watch can no longer go near water; at least not as effectively as it is supposed to do. Nice job though. Thank you very much for sharing.

Mockingbird · 1 July 2010, 09:31 AM

It looks good, but I've never been able to put a leather on a dive watch.

RRGHOST1 · 1 July 2010, 09:45 AM

Not impressed with leather straps at all, especially on divers watches.

Zed Homme · 1 July 2010, 09:49 AM

I like it a lot, it gives the dssd that old military watch feeling...

rolexguynfl · 1 July 2010, 10:36 AM

Interesting look - surprisingly, I like the look of it - looks like it wears nicely on you. Good color match as well.

jimmytoronto · 1 July 2010, 11:36 AM

Does not look as large this way.

I think it's a nice look. Nice watch - Still not my cuppa though.

Ed Rooney · 1 July 2010, 12:21 PM

No, no, no.

Maybe in black, but what you've done looks like a guy wearing black shoes with a brown belt.

Privatestock · 1 July 2010, 03:27 PM

I don't like it...I LOVE IT :p. I think this is what I'm gonna do to mine. Tx for the great idea :)

DS_Obsessed · 1 July 2010, 03:37 PM

I can't part with my glide lock. Looks nice, but I won't be replacing the bracelet anytime soon.

bamseladin · 1 July 2010, 04:31 PM
