Just wondering what your opinions are on this. I like the deployment clasp idea on the OR but I like the lettering design on the DP. Can you put an OEM deployment clasp on the DP?
What's the price difference between the two?
If anyone has had both on their Skyland, I'd love to hear your input!
Thanks

I just ordered a Seawolf on an OR from Govberg. I had saw both before I bought it and the IMHO, the OR looked 10x nicer then the DP. The DP looked cheap. And the Deployant clasp on the OR alone makes it an easy choice!

I think the polished clasp on the OR would really look good on the Skyland.

I don't think you can easily put the DP on the OEM deployant buckle as the OR strap has small holes in for a pin to connect it to the deployant whereas the DP uses a typical tang buckle. I suppose you could drill your own hole tho.

One of the guys who works at my AD has the Skyland black dial on the OR, and it looks outstanding.
Cheers,
Carl

No contest. Ocean Racer. The OR is one of, if not the best rubber strap I have ever seen on a watch.

I agree, the OR looks awesome on my SOH 46 and that picture above might make me get one for my Skyland. Good luck!

Ive had both on my skyland and the OR is the clear winner. The strap is nice and thick and the clasp is awesome. The DP is good too, but after the OR it doesnt seem as nice.
