Skully needs a RUBBER

[bodypeersur]

Okay, I still haven't been able to find a worthy rubber or silicone strap for Skully and the VERY COOL skull buckle sent to me by Robert. Mark gave me a couple links but nothing that I felt was "perfect" for this combo. I did see a Hirsch rubber strap that caught my eye but way over priced! So I'm still in search. If anyone has anymore links to some great rubber straps, post em up!

I have liked some of the straps and rubber that I have gotten from International Watchman and his prices are the absolute rock bottom to boot!

You get one Duff?

I have bought qute a few from Strappedfortime.com

[porschefan]

I got one from Noah when I bought "Blue Lightning" you want it? If it fits, what size you need? I'll whip it ot and measure it.

[docrwm]

Nice offer Tim. Thanks.

[bodypeersur]

Tim, Tim, Tim...that was a picture I didn't need!!!! I'M BLIND! MY OPTIC NERVES ARE FRIED!!! But really, great offer buddy. The lugs of the watch and the buckle both require 24mm. Many of the ones I like are 24mm at the lug but 22mm at the buckle.

[porschefan]

Ah, oh well, since it came from Noah, and it fits Seiko, 22mm is the size, at the lugs.

[docrwm]

Sorry its a tough one Duff. I seem to recall that 24mm was the smallest that they had.

[bodypeersur]

Thanks Guys, I'll find one. I may have to go with leather or buffalo. I'll keep lookin! I'm on a freakin MISSION!!!! LMAO!

ISOFRANE WILL DO THE TRICK!

[bodypeersur]

Nope, Isophane drops to 22mm at the buckle as well, but thanks for the research Mark.

most rubber taper, save the cool buckle for another project and buy a hirsch extreme... i know they arent cheap and have to come from Europe but the a friggin cool looking and i'm going to get one in 24mm and use it for my seal, zilla and a couple other watches! If you want something special and different it's the way to go!

[bodypeersur]

Actually I really like the Hirsch Lance but only comes in 22mm.

Pretty cool looking. Too bad it only comes in 1 size, what were they thinking

[bodypeersur]

I don't know because that is one kick ass rubber strap!

[docrwm]

But will the buckle fit on it?

[bodypeersur]

I don't think so. It looks like a dual deployant. The one rubber strap that really catches my eye and it just won't work with Skully. Oh well, the search continues.

How about Maratec? Syntheitic, size is right. I have one that is black with red stitching.

How about here:

[bodypeersur]

Thanks John but I'd really like a rubber dive strap. I know they're out there...somewhere. My only other choice might be black buffalo.

[Northwestguy]

Hey Duff, did you see the modena link I listed?

Here:

[bodypeersur]

Yes I did John, but I think they all taper 2mm at the buckle end from what I can tell.

[Northwestguy]

I'd contact them Duff. A few of them are listed as Panerai style so they may be same width the entire length.

[Northwestguy]

This for example:

[bodypeersur]

I think the only ones that don't taper are the double tang straps. The skull buckle I'm planning on using is a single tang, but I'll try getting in touch with them.

[Northwestguy]

Sorry Duff. I'll see what else I can come up with!

[Northwestguy]

Think I found one:

[bodypeersur]

All the rubber dive straps taper. They have some in leather and shark. I just think if I'm going to remove the bracelet, rubber is the way to go.

[Northwestguy]

The one I listed Duff is 24/24mm. The lug end is 24mm with a flare over the lug and then it narrows back to a 24mm at the buckle.
