Sounds very odd. I've got one of his waffle straps on a Seiko 5 so I'll check it tonight.
Get in touch and let him know. He always sounds friendly in email correspondence so he should make it right, depending on how long you've had it?
Be advised.
When your not wearing the watch with a Rubber Uncle Seiko waffle on,make sure you don't leave it in anything otherthan straight.
Just had my watches out for rotation and both ends on my 6105 had snapped!,not stored tightly at all so very odd for that to have to happened.

Please do get in contact with Uncle Seiko and keep us updated. I've been considering the waffle for my new to me 6309 and Turtle and this is a slightly concerning story.
Not that you can actually buy the damn thing on the new UK site.
Not good I fancied one of these for my mm300.
Have you given them a chance to sort the issue?

I’ve been using an uncle Seiko waffle on my 6105 for over a year without incident. It’s my favorite rubber strap. Sorry to hear you had problems with your’s.
I had the same with my MM strap. Hadn't worn the watch much, put it on and the strap snapped. Rubber ages. I have Uncle Seiko on my 6105 7001 but is a gen 2 strap. Maybe that is the difference between gen 1 and gen 2 as well as being more supple?

How soft are the Uncle Seiko rubbers? And is it the same material used on the tropic strap as that's what I am looking to purchase if it's soft enough.
