I didn't want to have to fuss with changing buckles from strap to strap... I know ... I'm lazy

The buckle was $240.00 and believe the officine panerai rubber strap was $300.00.

Here are a couple of pics with the rubber and the standard assolutamente calf skin

Man that is a sweet watch. Looks great both ways but I think I lean towards the calf skin with that blue dial. Really nice!

You weren't kidding about the cost! Wow

Nope not for me , the only reason I used one before was the dssd felt like a ocean liner bobbing about on my wrist , the Rolex ss watches look better on the bracelets in my eyes ( something to do with £illions spent on R&D) the tudors options look good though

What are the reasons for preferring a tang buckle to the glidelock?

Just curious.

Easier to swap out without the fuss of changing out the clasp...and with the tang you don’t beat up your glidelock.

is it more expensive than the strap for the deep sea?

I heard back from Everest today, they hope to have a SD43 strap released by the end of the year and there will be a tang buckle option...just wanted to let folks know!

Great news about the Everest strap being released later this year. I prefer it over Rubber B for the sd4k as the rubber is more comfortable in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.
