Question about Schumi Ti grey strap vs 44mm black strap

Just tried on a titanium Schumi and noticed that the grey rubber strap is extremely soft and pliable... Compared to the black rubber on my diver or the one on my SS 44mm ROO this grey strap is way softer. The black rubbers are actually a bit stiff.

Anyone else noticed this???

Could it be due to how much it is worn in? Never actually seen a shumi in the flesh

You are correct. For some reason the straps on Shumis are softer more pliable that on 44s. Don't really know why

The Schumi strap is way more comfortable than the standard black rubber straps. it must be made of a slightly different material.

Guess it's different materials and it seems thinner too.
