i'm getting bored with the rubber strap on my arktos 186, so i need some suggestions. most of the watches i own have either bracelets or rubber straps of some sort. the pams i have, either have the pam rubber or a black croc. i'm not a fan of any shade of brown. even my pam 88 has a black croc on it. i have the velcro thing that came with the arktos, but i mind as well toss that thing cause i'll never use it. a velcro strap tends to cheapen a watch in my opinion. so, what is your opinion of what strap would look good on this thing? if anyone suggest that crazy green thing that sellnit is offering in the contest, you'll get a serious donkey punch lol. brad, your da man when it comes to straps, what's your opinion?

Drew just came out with a really cool strap...the BroadBand Strap. It has a standard 24mm lug width, but it flares out to match the outside width of the lugs! I gotta say, a very unique & sporty look!

Since you have an aversion to brown (and on an Arktos, I can see that), either the Carbon or the Black with Titanium stitching would be particularly groovy. Only 90 bucks!

OR...take a look at my monster-truck sized Sub on a couple of different black straps...you could go with the Black Greg Stevens strap, but I wonder if you might think it's too simple...it's a seriously thick 6mm, but completely unadorned with stitching...

OR...you could drop a couple of bills for a Black Dirk with White Stitching for a classic look...
