I'm looking to get a new Diver Pro II rubber strap for my Steelfish but am a bit confused about which type of buckle it comes with or if there's a choice (ie sold separately).

As far as I can see re buckles, there is the regular tang buckle, the deployant (shown on the Ocean Racer strap in the relevant section on this website) and a sort of folding clasp.

Do the latter two both require cutting/trimming and are they both compatible with the Diver Pro II?

Also, any idea how much the strap and different buckles cost in £s?

Thanks for your help.

The deployment for rubber and leather straps are different. I don't have a price list for £s, but in the states the msrp for the rubber strap is $110 and the deployment clasp price is $345.

What you describe as deployant and folding clasp are the same and it does require cutting of the rubber on each side of the clasp.

Thanks for the replies/info. The ones I'm wondering about are:

http://www.breitlingsource.com/strap_oceanracer.shtml
http://www.breitlingsource.com/strap_fo ... yant.shtml

The first one seems to be compatible with the Pro Diver II but what's the deal with the second one? It looks completely different.

The second one is for the leather straps and won't work with the rubber straps.
