I know it's been said before, but I've just put a Strapcode Super Oyster on my SKX007. Wow, what a difference! There's a real quality feel to it now, rather than the somewhat lightweight jubilee. Best value upgrade ever!

Doh, typo! Of course it's a 9, thanks for the correction.Originally Posted by IAmATeaf
The strap looks superb really takes it up a level, I actually prefer the 9 over the 7.
Demonstrates the difference a decent strap can make to the watch as a "package".
The Oyster is a classic!
Fitted a Wjeans on mine, really make a difference.
Put one on mine too, really pleasedI know it's been said before, but I've just put a Strapcode Super Oyster on my SKX007. Wow, what a difference! There's a real quality feel to it now, rather than the somewhat lightweight jubilee. Best value upgrade ever!
Super Oysters instantly move the SKX up a notch. The standard Jubilee is too tinny and rattly - it really doesn't do a great watch any favours. Oh, and the standard rubber is just awful.
So it's got to be either a Super Oyster or a wjean mesh in my book...
This was mine (long since sold on...)
Sorry for the poor photo.
Oh, and shown here on the fiendish instrument of torture that it arrived with...

Cat amongst the pigeons here. But isn't the oyster abit generic?
I think in one of the earlier posts Delays described the Super Oyster as a classic. Maybe one man's 'classic' is another man's 'bit generic' :)
I think the point is that most SKXs end up on bracelet, rubber or nylon. Personally I hate NATOs, the stock bracelets and rubber straps do the watch head no favours at all and the most common aftermarket replacement bracelet seems to be the Super Oyster. We seem to be lucky in that there are at least 3 good sources of high quality Super Oysters out there.
A more 'alternative' approach would be to consider mesh - which also look good, I must say...

My 009 lives on a SO and it looks the business.
