Here's mine, not the best picture, but you get the idea.

Here is a link to a post with pics of a Steelfish on OR Strap:

These are a few shots of my Seawolf on the OR strap:

I find the OR to be exremely comfortable. It suits both watches equally well.
The length is very easy to adjust. You have to take it off to make it larger, but after you put it on it can be made smaller while clasped on your wrist.
I would say for me that it is more comfortable than the Diver Pro.
I now have a leather strap on my Seawolf, without deployant clasp, and the leather seems to be the most comfortable strap or bracelet of all.
Yes, I would still spend the extra money for the OR.
As far as durability, I would say that the OR would last 10 years, that is the rubber, with that clasp it hardly wears at all. I like mine a bit loose, and with the stiffness and flexibility of the rubber, it hardly even touches my wrist, it just kind of flexes between the clasp and the lugs of the watch case. My first Colt quartz had a rubber strap, like the Diver Pro with a regular tang buckle, and that lasted over 5 years. That was in 1992. The Diver Pro would probably do better than that.
By the way, the Ocean Racer is also available in a brushed version clasp as well as the polished. I have only seen pics of the brushed, but it looks great.

These pictures are FANTSTIC and have really got me seriously thinking about speccing my new Ling with a black Ocean Racer rubber strap.

Looking at getting an Aerospace with black face.

I am thinking this combo could look really exciting :?:
