rebel_1,

That is a very nice combination it gives the Steelfish a completely different look.

How do you find it terms of comfort compared to the bracelet?

Wow, the OR really compliments the Steelfish well!
Very good choice!

The Ocean Racer strap is somewhat more comfortable that the Pro II. First off, it feels considerably lighter, plus the watch does not move around as much, so you can wear it a little looser. And the OR has small adjustments in the strap / deployant buckle that require no tools to adjust from max to min and does so very, very easily. Overall, I am very please with it; although I am not going to part with the PRO II. I will rotate in and out of it frequently I suppose.

That looks great! I did that with my Steelfish last year, with the black dial. I since sold the Steelfish, but have put the OR on my Seawolf. It really is a great strap. Also very comfortable. Like you say, it is possible to wear it a bit looser, as it seems to keep the watch in place very well. Did you get the polished or brushed clasp? I have the polished, but my AD will brush it for me, I think I will have it done. Mine is worn to work, and it does get a lot of scratches.
Enjoy the OR!
Cheers,
Carl

Rebel_1,

I recently put a OR on my Super Avenger and too find it to be extremely comfortable and just wanted to know if you felt the same way and by the sounds of it you do.

Like a said thats a great combo.

Cheers...

I'm currently wearing an Ocean Racer with my Super Avenger as i type this......i've had it on all day and i've got to say it's one of the best if not THE best strap i've worn.

Good choice :lingsrock:
