Did you have to use different spring bars or did the stock ones fit?

I used the spring bars that came with the rubber strap. Have not tried it on the stock bars

The stock bars seem abit too thick to go through the rubber. I could, if I were to force it through but i did not.

I switched back to the stainless steel bracelet today as I have a party tomorrow and wanted a little dressier look. I had the watch on an Isofrane for the past six weeks and now with the SS bracelet on it made me pause and say to myself, "Man, does that look good or what"? I had almost forgotten that, although I'm very happy with the Bonetto and Isofrane straps, you can't beat the look of the original SS bracelet.

I've tried NATO, supplied strap and Cordurra. As much as I like straps, this watch is all about the bracelet. It's just perfect on my wrist.

Love the Red Bezel, possibly my next addition. Is that a custom strap no endlinks?

It's the bracelet from my Ranger, which is currently on aftermarket leather. The straight ends give the BB a bit of extra vintage style, I think.

Shame the bracelet from the black bay doesn't fit the ranger.

Yeah. It almost does, and looks quite good, but not quite.

Wow that looks awesome on the perlon. Really brings out the blue of the bezel.

A couple of new straps to try, I prefer the perlon. Not the greatest pics (iPhone 4s)

I agree with you. The perlon takes up the end link space for a smoother look.
