      It's a B&R strap that I added a iStrap butterfly to as @ck2k01 ; already mentioned.
      
      I actually returned it probably a day or two after that. I guess I prefer the single bend deployants like Omega and Tag style. I've tried butterfly's a few times and the combo with the straps just never quite sat right.

      Those single fold deployant clasps (à la Omega or Tag) are mighty comfy.
      
      I tried this (gotta love Amazon) to good effect.
      
      Though installation on the strap I used it with was a bit more involved because of a fixed leather keeper. I ended up cutting the keeper off; I then superglued the strap down where the keeper came out of a little slot.
      
      Also worth noting is that some sharp edges on this clasp proved a bit rougher on my leather strap.
      
      Finally, this adds a little vertical bulk under the wrist.
      
      But the overall comfort (plus just curiosity) made it all worth it for me. Of course, other's mileage may vary.

      FWIW, this accomplished a similar thing for me, for $16 (my first of the Omega/Breitling-style deployant clasps):

      The poor man's one I went for has seemed fine quality-wise (though, again, I have no frame of reference). The keepers are maybe a little rough on the strap. I was really impressed, though, with how comfortable this "strap on the inside" style of deployant clasp is relative to butterfly deployants.
      
      I haven't worn it in a while, but if I recall, this style of clasp functionally shortened my strap length a bit, which has to be accounted for. And straps with non-sliding/permanent keepers may require a little bit of modding.

      Thanks for the link. I'll have to try one of these eventually. I've never liked the butterfly style so this will be a good alternative.

      Thank you! I just ordered one similar from strapsco. It looks so slick that way with no buckle/strap tail.
