Maybe I'm just a contrarian. The NATO straps look really good in pics, but I'm not a fan in real life. And, the OEM rubber strap is really nice, but it's just not for me. (I know...this is why they make chocolate and vanilla.) I've really enjoyed these two Hirsch straps (rubber Accent and "waterproof" leather Carbon). They work really well when flipping between "nice casual" and more of a toolish look...and the quick disconnect spring bars make it easy to do.

Looks great! I find the OEM rubber strap to be a bit too long and awkwardly sized for my wrist - my ideal fit is right between two strap holes. I do appreciate the nice touch of putting the nub to keep the keeper from sliding out though.

That's the Sedna Gold! Yeah I walked into the AD intending to buy the gray, but saw the black and Sedna gold and didn't stand a chance haha. Love the dial too. Here's a shot of when I wore it to a nice restaurant:

love that reference! did you get it with the bracelet?

Alas no, just with the rubber strap, quite like it though! I'm think I'm taking a break from bracelets for a while.

Beautiful strap combo. Sometimes I wonder if I should've gone for the white instead of black + Sedna gold.

I like eating with it too

U know that combo requires some good ass chardonnay !!! Like a $30 bottle will work wonders here !!

Just had fried chicken 2 days ago with some spanish Cava and it went really really well.

Bahaha well I was in the office so a glass of wine would've been a little tricky to pull off, agreed though!

Nice shot, nailed the lighting

I personally like the white and blue. Not exactly the same but close.

Looks brilliant, is that the TROPIC strap? I loved their strap but their 20mm strap tapers to 16mm instead of 18mm so I wouldn't have been able to use the OEM buckle.

I just got the black Gen 2 tropic strap for my SMP. It feels softer than the older version blue one I have.

By far this is the best bang for buck on a strap. $79 shipped and more comfortable than the OEM.

My personal opinion is Tropic > OEM rubber > Zealande

Just to confirm the Tropic 2.0 still tapers to 16mm right? So I'd have to use their buckle instead of OEM buckle? Thanks.

I've been lusting for that watch since @agtprvctr posted it a while back. Did you buy it with the bracelet or the strap?

Thanks for the shoutout! And thanks to this thread, I picked up the newly released OEM deployant buckle + strap from a boutique. It's pretty awesome so far and fits better / goes on easier than the OEM rubber strap, but now it's too tight for the pillows on my winder. Thankfully the manufacturer just started selling different size pillows so I'm looking forward to receiving that so I can park this watch back on my winder.

Thanks! Yes, the rubber strap is on my watch list. I'll keep checking the sales corner.

I'm really enjoying the new deployant strap, restarted the honeymoon period for me.

Congrats ...I'm torn between this and the previous generation non wave dial seamaster..but the 44mm Chrono..same price .. this looks like it wears a tad small though..that's what's stopping me ..and i love Chrono dials . Gotta make my decision

I have to say the wave dial is a big part of what drew me to this watch.

Finally mustered up the courage to actually dive with it, and a shark dive at that!
