Crafter Blue

Anyone have one of their rubber straps? I ordered a black one for my SKX 173.

What didn’t you like? I got a $65 black strap for $35 on sale, so if it is not to my liking, it’s not a crisis.

Each one I ordered was a pre-order when they were producing them. Each time they sent me the wrong strap. On the MM they sent me the wrong strap 3 times.

The other issues is due to it have fitted endlinks the straps tend to have a tight curve to them. So if you have a bigger wrist it fits more like a handcuff than a strap. Next problem was the metal keeper, it did not stay in place at all.

I think they put a lot of work into them. It just didn't work out for me.

And I paid full price everytime.

Thank you for the head’s up! I have a smaller, 6.5 inch wrist, so maybe it will work for me. I will report back after I get it!

I ordered one about 4 months ago for my MM300. Arrived relatively fast (I think about 10 days later), great quality, loved putting the factory clasp on it, fit the watch perfectly...rounded endlinks & use of the OEM clasp definitely made everything about it look OEM.

I've got nothing but good things to say about the strap & company from my lone interaction w/ that band. Would definitely buy again (and I just might for my SRP789).

I just ordered a brown one for my MM300 via strapcode. I had previously tried on another MM300 with one of them on and was really impressed. I am going to swap the isofrane for the crafter blue because I think it'll work better on my smaller wrist.
