Yeah, me too Iceman. At times I wish I wasn't.
Perseus, I agree. Hence mine ends up looking like this 99.9% of the time. Sorry if I am boring.
I recently bought this (below) PO Rubber strap to replace one that I had gifted. I put it on last night, took this pic, but it just didn't sit/feel right. Felt like a bangle. Hence straight back on bracelet. Does that feeling improve with age with the rubber, like leather does?
I've read good things about Isofrane and recently I saw a thread that mentioned "Omega Isofrane"? Is there such a thing?

I'm liking the look of the PO's on brown leather straps. I didn't want to commit without seeing the combo, but the black bezel PO's at least wear that color well.
Rubber, Nato / Zulu, mesh and OE bracelet all look really good to me. For some reason, I just can't warm to the look of croc on a big bold dive watch. Kind of like watching Usain Bolt sprint down the track in a pair of polished wingtip brogues. He'll still be bloody fast, but it won't look right.
Thanks Vakane,I am aware of the Isofrane's history. From the Isofrane website.......
ISOfrane dive strap - now available in 22mm and 24mm
"Finally, a modern dive strap with the look and feel of the
original ISOfrane straps of the 1960s – the ISOfrane 1968 strap"
Hopefully the new ones don't disintegrate with age like the old ones are known for.
I was interested in what I have heard mentioned, "The Omega Isofrane?
some leather...
