New look incoming.

Just ordered this beautiful thing. Excited for the new look, have personally never used them before. Trying to save the bracelet in case of ever reselling and prefer to dive with the GMT as well.

Opinions?

What a great price compared to Everest and RubberB, you can almost get 2 for 1.

Is it rubber or silicone?

I bought one from Horus and it was made from a disgusting material. Back to Rubber B for me, as I was never disappointed other than paying the price tag.... . These copy-cats are not worth the lint and allergies they cause. You get what you pay for people.

Interesting you say that, my 2 orders have both been great material no allergies to anything, dog hair, lint, etc nothing sticks to mine. Guess you got a crap strap. Sucks but I wouldn’t go to say “you get what you pay for”. But to each their own.

Love the cigar accoutrements but the multi color strap combo reminds me of a cartoon Jesters hat. JAT

I can appreciate them taking the "fun factor" of putting the watch on rubber all the way with the different color straps. Personally, it's not for me but congrats!

Seems contrived to me. I wouldn't pay for that look. Maybe as a mix of two different straps for a lark but not to be bought as an complete strap.

Everyone’s got their opinions. I personally SCUBA and help teach students. I enjoy my dive watches being on rubber VS steel for rocks and technical diving as well as putting it on over a wet suit and dry suit. Having the adjustability of a rubber strap and the durability of it makes it easier for me. Again everyone has their opinion on it and that’s what makes this hobby as well as business function and have originality. What I like VS what someone else may like is perfectly fine.

What I spend my money on VS what someone else spends their money on is my decision. Also keeping the bracelet off of it, helps preserve it and will help with a possible resale of the watch if it comes to that.

Your opinion saying it looks cheap is in fact your opinion, I personally don’t agree with it, as it’s a sport watch and I treat it as such.

Still happy with my purchase and just ordered a Black one for my 116610.
