One more thing about these straps:

Anyone have a preference/recommendation regarding getting a strap and attaching the OEM Rolex clasp on vs buying a strap with a pin buckle ?
While the former would look much better (a la the Daytona and YM on OF), there is no micro adjustment with that set up (ie — rubber B strap with the clasp). But with the latter, you have the freedom of going looser or tighter with your pin buckle easily, albeit at the cost of aesthetics.

Thoughts ?

Thanks. Good pics. The blue looks more of a Navy, with a matte finish, correct? That's exactly what i'm looking for, as i think it will complement the YM blue dial really well.

The main issue Chad seemed to have in his review was the feel/weight of the Zealande relative to the Everest. He seemed to indicate it felt flimsy/non substantive compared to the Everest. He also didn't seem to care for the way the Zealande strap came off the lugs and hugged the wrist. I actually like that look from the pics.
How does it compare comfort wise to the Everest?

It really depends on what you are looking for in a rubber strap. Flimsy or non-substantive is a bit of an overstatement in my opinion, when comparing the two. I personally like the rubber to feel a bit more malleable which is the case with the Zealande. It's weird but I'd almost say it kinda feels like a good fruit rollup

The Everest is a bit stiffer but both feel high quality and like I said before I would've gone with Zealande for the GMT if it fit better. It should fit your YM perfectly.
