Del 4,436 Posted September 13, 2019 Picked up this Crafter Blue integrated rubber strap for my PADI Samurai and I’m very impressed with it. The strap is really well made, it fits the watch head perfectly and is super comfortable to wear. This is the black and red version, which works well with the black wavy dial and the Pepsi bezel. These straps seem to be in demand as the navy/red version appears to be sold out everywhere. They are also available for other Seiko models, plus the Tudor Black Bay. Here are a few pics I snapped this morning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,436 Posted September 13, 2019 Thanks guys. Yes, I was unsure about it when I ordered it but I’m glad I did - very happy with the watch now. The original bracelet let the watch down and I hardly ever wore it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howitzer 1,974 Posted September 13, 2019 That looks really sharp Del, I've been eyeing up a Crafter myself for my Black Bay(s) but have held back due to the length (I'm not a fan of overhanging straps!). What is your approx wrist size? And does the metal keeper lock the end of the strap nice and tightly? Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance Funny, I was thinking about one for my Black Bay and was concerned about the length too! My wrist size is 6.75” and I’ve taken a pic of how the end of the strap locks into the keeper - it hasn’t slipped at all since putting it on this morning. I’m still tempted to get one for the Black Bay as the strap tail shouldn’t be as long with only the 41mm case rather than the 45mm case of the Seiko. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be absolutely bob on for me then. The fairly large distance between the lug holes and the case on the BB has always put me off aftermarket straps a bit, hence why I really like the idea of the fitted ends of the Crafter. Cheers Del!
