Am I the only one using velcro straps? I've used them in the past, but currently have 2 from Haveston. They're comfortable and highly adjustable.

Looks like it 😂😂
I fairness, I'd prefer velcro over NATO. Slide a rubber keeper over the end so it doesn't peel open and it won't be coming off anytime soon.
All you need is a shadowy, dagger in teeth, frogman or a fictional secret agent to endorse it.
Looks Good.

I use some Shark Leash and Fabrique Nationale as a rotation after bracelet then isofrane/tropic are worn then back to bracelet.
Love them and have worn since the mid 70's..great versatile change on a diver.
Very comfortable and good colour break imho.
Good thread to kick off mate
All the best

Not exactly a diver but a great native Kevlar Velcro on the Yema Bipole Duopoly, a killer watch.
Velcro on top of a bund-type profile is the only thing that works here because the packable jacket nylon is thin and a pin buckle would destroy it.
Fluorescent handset is a stroke of genius too. A great early Richard Mille design.

I gotta ask, what IS that strap - is it exclusive to the watch or aftermarket? Intriguing...![Image]()

It's the original IWC Velcro Strap for the Aquatimer, which could ordered optionally.
It's still available from IWC and the reference number ist IWA04925.
But caution: The strap is everything but cheap, I've paid 155.00 Euro and it's definitely NOT worth the money. The workmanship is miserable and the band is very short, but unfortunately it is the only way to mount a nylon strap on the GST.
Fortunately, I got a suitable strap from GasGasBones.com, which is / was much better processed, longer and much cheaper - but there are missing the end links.

Thanks! Luckily for ME, their website is more f*cked up than Mike Tyson's checkbook, so I can't even FIND it to order it...
Slightly off-topic rant: Have you ever noticed that the more fancy a company's website is, the harder it is to actually negotiate said website and/or BUY anything?!
