I find the ND limits straps are very comfortable and well priced.

They are available in a variety of colours.

 

Thanks. Do they have a website? Where do you order them from?

 

Think I just googled them and ordered online.

I have three now, two orange and a blue which is on my Turtle currently.

 

Can you please share the website you ordered from and a picture of your Turtle with the strap? Many thanks.

 

Uncle Seiko - tropic or waffle style, very comfortable for all day wear on my 7-3/8 wrist

 

Thanks for the great suggestion.

 

I’d second Uncle Seiko. I had the waffle strap on the same watch and it looked the business!

I’d also suggest going to Amazon and searching for “22mm FKM rubber strap.” You'll find some great options, all under $30. I purchased these two for my Pelagos and think they’re on par with the factory rubber, which costs a couple hundred bucks.

Uncle Seiko GL831

 

Uncle Seiko is starting to look like the winner! 👍

 

I agree that the waffle and tropic straps are both great in general and Uncle Seiko's are great versions. Also check out Barton Elite Silicone: they come with two different length straps for the 6 o'clock side to accommodate different wrists.

 

Thanks!!

 

zuludiver makes a variety of great and reasonably priced dive straps - easily purchased direct or through Watchgecko.

 

Thanks!

 

Uncleseiko or a BC.

 

Thanks!

 

For $50 I would go for Barton Elite Silicone Straps. You can get 2 different colours and they each come with multiple lengths depending your wrist size. They are my go-to straps for spirt watches, and I’ve even sold my expensive Everest straps in favour of the Bartons.

I guess this will be heresy for many watch owners but Rob, you can easily break out your dremel tool, cut down your oem strap to exactly fit your wrist and then sand it precisely to be smooth. I do this with every rubber diving strap I have.

 

Interesting suggestion.....hadn't thought about this. Maybe I need to purchase a dremel tool. 😄

 

since you want a shorter strap, i'd say gop with Barton. Then take out the quick release spring bars and replace with some skinny fat spring bars to fit your turtle better. You won't be disapointed with the Barton comfort.

Bonetto Cinturini 300/400 or ZuluDiver equivalent, cut-to-fit. Comfortable, great looking, smells good, deployant built in. Super neat and tidy, and well suited to a chunkier watch. Easily my favorite strap - you can't go wrong IMO.

Here is a Cinturini 400 on Alpina Extreme Diver. Supplied buckle is fine, but I swapped mine out for the OEM Alpina buckle. The Zulu strap is identical, but with a much better buckle. Higher price than the Cinturini, though.

 

Thanks, that does look great!

 

Barton Silicone Elite are the best, hands down, and very affordable.

 

Uncle Seiko GL831 strap. They make them in regular length and short. I found that the standard Uncle Seiko GL831 strap was shorter then the original silicone strap on my Seiko turtle (Japan market SBDY015) so you might want to get the regular(standard) US GL831 strap as the short strap might be too short for you

 

I'm gonna offer up a dissenting opinion and suggest you avoid Barton Silicone Elite straps. They're nowhere near as durable as an FKM or real rubber strap, they collect lint (perhaps less than cheaper silicone options but still...) and the feel in hand is akin to what a child might wear on their Flik Flak. They might've been a decent inexpensive option a few years back, before you could get an ultra-high quality FKM strap for under $30 but now, not so much.

 

As others have said, Uncle Seiko is your best bet

 

If for some reason Uncle Seiko doesn’t make the grade look at Barton.

 

I have the US waffle and Crafter Blue for my PADI turtle. I also have a Bonetto Cinturini. Barton Elite are OK, but second tier to the others IMHO.

I ordered a waffle strap from Uncle Seiko today. Many thanks for all your great suggestions!!

 

Congratulations, wear it well!
Now, go buy a Dremel, with all the attachments! You won’t regret it, and will always find uses for it!

 

I use a watch gecko tropical style strap on my sub but I'd think they have many lug widths available. It's lasted a few years now although I did change the buckle on it.

 

I found the same style on eBay that’s slightly shorter, fkm, and quick release for under 30. Most comfortable strap I own. Sorry no link they’re a pain to find but basically this Highly Anticipated FKM "WAVE" Dive Watch Strap Quick Release 6 Colours 20mm-22mm | eBay
