I looked at the Rubber B straps, but they are too "nice", wanted something heavier. (looks good on a Daytona though)

I wanted a high quality strap, like the ones you find from Omega, IWC etc.

I then stumpled on the straps from Isofrane, and saw one IRL.
I was surprised of their high quality. The rubber and finish quality is simply superb. They are also very soft and flexible. Your can wear the watch tight on the wrist, and it is still very comfortable.
They are a bit expensive, but worth every $

I ordered two, one for my SD and one for my 70es Omega diver.
(the Isofrane is actually much nicer and more comfortable, than the strap Omega makes today for the vintage Ploprofs)

Now my biggest problem is choosing between the the two of them

Your watches look great.......IMHO, that Isofrane strap is the best looking/feeling active rubber strap on the market!

mborkow · 2 July 2011, 05:31 AM

that strap looks awesome! I might have to get one too

chicagofan · 2 July 2011, 05:48 AM

Nice pair. Thanks for sharing.

Those look great on the rubber straps!! Shows you really can wear a Rolex on a rubber strap comfortably.

Cheers

That looks great and it's thicker than I expected.

mjclark32 · 2 July 2011, 10:00 AM

Looks great. I'm contemplating getting one myself

FusionSel · 2 July 2011, 10:15 AM

beautiful watches! Love Isofrane. They go with your watches perfectly. Congrats

dddrees · 2 July 2011, 10:19 AM

Looks Good Congrats.

Great looking strap. I was looking around for one. I guess I don't have to look far.

psv · 2 July 2011, 11:28 AM

I got one to that I alter between my SD 16600 and SubC. Works great. Now that Omega of yours is a real gem? Is it the real deal or a rebuild?

Rollie2011 · 2 July 2011, 11:34 AM

Nice!

DCgator · 2 July 2011, 01:38 PM

Nice duo!

Jason71 · 2 July 2011, 06:02 PM

I am not a fan of rubber straps, but I do like the Isofrane. I dove with a couple in Grand Cayman last year, and they are definitely robust. Congrats on a great strap.

ZaneO · 3 July 2011, 12:39 AM

Looks nice, I like the way it looks.

Kevins89notch · 6 July 2011, 06:55 AM

Wow that strap looks amazing! I'm going to have to bookmark them so I order one when I finally get a Rolex.

hoops10 · 6 July 2011, 07:00 AM

Never thought that a rubber strap could do justice to the SD. My mind has now been changed. The straps look fantastic.

Puffy · 6 July 2011, 08:28 AM

Congrats mate
We keep hearing great things about isofran

Frogman4me · 6 July 2011, 08:39 AM

Isofrane is legendary, now that they offer 20mm it's a dream. Congrats

ManUtd · 6 July 2011, 09:24 AM

It looks okay on both but IMO it looks much better on the SD.

buke45 · 6 July 2011, 12:06 PM

nice!!!

Eric88 · 6 July 2011, 02:01 PM

I have the same strap for my SD and I may have already posted about it a few weeks ago. I initially loved it, but now I can't decide if I really like it. The oyster bracelet is so much nicer and the rubber strap seems a bit out of place on a Rolex. But it is nice to have options!
