Thanks!
I have enough on bracelet, I think I'll keep this on strap. Thinking about a custom distressed leather strap that will accommodate the end links and the 20mm buckle.

Great looking watch
How do you like the rubber strap? Is it 20mm wide for its entire length or does it taper down to 16mm towards the buckle?

Thanks!

I think it's a 22-20.

It was a bit stiff but after half a day of wearing it got considerably softer.

While it looks brilliant on bracelet, I think the blue strap gives it a more unique and playful look.
