Kilyung,
You kept the stainless steel plots on right? I guess you could have used the original PVD'd black plots but then the buckle would not match the rest of the look.

Exactly Alan. I installed brushed plots to match the Diver buckle and break up all that black. However I plan to use the PVD plots with my Survivor hornback and buckle.

Mike your Bumble bee looks stunning with the diver straps.
I need this mod asap could you give me the part numbers and where you bought these thanks.

Very cool, Mike.

Looks excellent mike. You could always send the buckle and plots out for pvd treatment to match the watch, now that would be cool.

I know what you mean about those dep-clasps.. They are kinda uncomfortable esp in hot weather.. Nothing is more comfortable than those diver clasp straps.

I've got my original black plots and PVD Survivor tang - just a little too blacked out for my taste. However I'll put them on with my Survivor hornback this fall.

Looks awesome! I'd also like to see it with the black plots.

Short of a Nautilus 5980 or 5712, this piece is my grail, but it is out of my comfort zone at the moment. Maybe later in life, for my 50's :)

Added the Diver strap on the RB 1, swapped out the old style rubber strap to reinvigorate the watch!
It worked ! IMHO, Buemi weekends only. Love the BB on Diver defiantly knocks the carbon Diver in to touch.

Spanby, your RB1 looks incredible and in my option an improvement on the original.

Spanby200 · 13 October 2012, 08:21 AM

Thanks guys, I love the new look worth the expense for the diver strap
