What should I wear the SA with?... I got a make a decision by 9am tomorrow so George can place the order.

I'm leaning toward the Diver only because i have the OR on my CE already.

Opinions?

DPII. It's more comfortable and has a dressier look (to the extent a rubber strap can ever really be dressy). Easier to keep cleaned too.

But seriously, dude, the rubber pieces only cost $75! You can get both and change them out on the deploy. You paid for an SA - spend the extra $75 - NO brainer.

I think I will be taking that route. It's NOT about the money sharkman. But the one thing I hate to do is change out the deployment straps from the buckle.... Pain in the a$$! :guns:
I did think that the DPII would be more dressy in a sense!

I think DPII it is!

It would be the DPII for me too. The OR is one strap that I think looks considerably better in pictures than it does on the wrist (well, certainly on my wrist anyway).

Yeah, I do agree it takes a fine touch and some patience to get the strap out of the deploy. Sort of like working with a blindfold on. Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes it gets a bit frustrating.

I agree with your first statement but disagree with the second. Rather, the OR is as, if not more, comfy as it looks.
