    Omega SMP Chrono Strap thoughts please!

    I've had my Omega SMP Chrono (sword hands) for coming on a year now, and I still love it as much now as the day I got it. That said, I quite fancy a change of strap, but am not totally bowled over the Omega ones - especially seeing as its a good £100+ for a rubber! I have been looking at the Toshi's (which always appear to get rave reviews on here) and a few others on the internet and wondered what peoples general thoughts were - or indeed if any of you have made the change and could show me what you went for! Cheers Ian

    Great pics there. So I've been berated for putting a strap on my DS but it's OK for other divers?

    Not that i'm bothered. Sorry to crash yr post -that looks cool.

    I wouldn't naturally put a strap on a diver ... I 've got 3 watches all on s/steel bracelets and wanted to create a bit of variety ...

    By the way ... glad you like the options shown ... any pics of yours ?

    I know it's been mentioned about poss not putting leather on a diver, but horses for courses I guess, I like the look (also can't see too many diving sessions coming up soon). Do you reckon a black Toshi would be a fitting option?

    Toshi will be far to thick. Have you thought of a Caromide?

    Not looked at the coramide, might have to have a look. Guessing, but is Ofrei the place for these? I like the stlying, but am not overley convinced on the carbon fibre effect (Kevlar and rubber) myself.

    They come up on SC from time to time. £90ish. Best looking strap for a SMP for me gives it a real tool look, and so comfortable.
    You might end up pay a lot of tax from Ofrei I have in the past. Good hunting what ever you choose.
