Why am I so mysteriously drawn to the Skyland Blacksteel?
I think there is only one way to cure it... |

They are nice. You may want to check it out on a bracelet. I have a rubber Breitling strap for my Blackbird, I have never found it to be comfortable or very supportive of the watch heard itself.

Ah, I always like the Breitling rubber straps on my Ti Chrono Avenger and Ti Seawolf, but I guess those watches were a bit less heavy as well.

They are hard to come by, been looking it one myself. This particular blacksteel seems to hold it value well.

Throw the ocean racer strap, and you got the perfect piece. Better buy it before the price increase next week.

The strap with the red stitching is made by HKTAN (you can find him on TZ). He sells it for $129. I just sold mine for $65. It doesn't look that great in person. The quality is not that good in my opinion.
