Post subject:  The right strap / bracelet

Is it me, or do some of the straps / bracelets wear differently? I recently purchased a blue face Steelfish and a yellow face SS Seawolf. I tried the black OR, Brown Calf w/ deployant, and black Diver Pro on both as well as the brushed Pro-II on the the Steelfish. After adjusting the OR for the fish, it doesn't seem to "fit" with the wolf. Also, the seawolf is much more comfortable on the Diver Pro. Not really a big deal, I just never thought I would like the Diver Pro. I also don't like the way the leather strap w/ deployant "wears". Perhaps I am just picky. Any thoughts?

A lot of guys appear not to get on with the deployant. Personally I will never wear a tang again, but then I do wear my watches in an unusual way.

Do you mean wear as in wears away the leather or the fit of the starp? I always thought deployments were better for the leather

What I mean is the watch does not stay centered on my wrist with the leather strap and deployant. I think it's because every person and every watch is different. For example, my OR is perfect with my Steelfish, but not with my Seawolf. The Seawolf is perfect with the Diver Pro. It must be the length of the 6 O'Clock strap in relation to the where the watch should be on the wrist, if that makes any sense.

That is exactly the report that I have had from mates.

Stef said exactly the same thing to me at a recent meet.

I havent had a chance to try on a Breitling deploy,but the others i have tried have been uncomfortable and have made it spin on my wrist also.

I have a problem with butterfly clasps on my bracelets too :cry:

But I like the way they look tho :wink:
