New strap for the Racing today. Hard to find decent 21mm options, but I like this Hirsch Tiger. The backing is a rubber material, so it should be comfortable in the warmer weather. Curious about durability though as the top leather is very thin. Anyone have experience with these?

Check out this Hirsch strap that SPMN has on his white Racing. Looks terrific.

Thanks, Mike!

The Hirsch Tiger and Robby are very similar. I believe the difference between the two is the Robby has a sailcloth pattern, and the Tiger does not. I went Tiger as I wanted white stitching and I couldn't find that in the Robby line.

Unbelievably comfortable straps though. The rubber on the bottom is wonderful. I'm going to give it the summer and will write up a full review then to see how well it's held up. It was surprisingly hard to find something I liked in a 21mm option so I'd like to leave record if anyone else is looking for something similar in their Speedmasters.

This might be my favorite picture so far I have managed to get of this watch. It was a bright overcast day this morning - made for a really nice shot

Getting this band on was the biggest pain in the rear ever took me wayyyyy too much time and effort but finally got it on. Hopefully the springbars don't break! Well it's a comfortable change of pace at least.
