I really like the Recon 5 and feel it is an extremely well mad timepiece. The lume..the hands..the fit and finish of this watch are amazing for the price point. I like everything but the feel of the strap! It just felt limp and thin...too thin for my tastes. So...having alot of watches also provides me with alot of strap options. I found that my Reactor's rubber strap would fit the watch, and so voila...I present the following look:       Of course this is subjective...yada..yada..yada..love it or hate it, I just felt like showing you all the new look I gave it. Hope you enjoy!

Sweet...it is amazing what you can do with a strap change. I think this watch looks good on just about anything. In general, I prefer my pilots watches on leather. But I also prefer my divers on rubber or a bracelet. By coincidence, I just changed the strap out on the Magrette. I will reveal it later as to not hijack your thread.

Looks good to me  I actually did that with the DB Sea Diver I use to have. The Critical Mass link and rubber fit the lug with about 1/2 mm gap. Your's looks like a perfect fit.

I would rather a leathe strap on a pilot, but it looks pretty cool Randy. By the way, post up some pics of the Magrette in the back with the gunfighter strap when you have time.

It's good to change things up a little and try something different. The rubber strap looks good and it's definitely different on that style of watch. The watch itself is so sweet it would look good on any strap.

Straps can completely change the personality of a watch. I think that strap looks great on there. Thanks for sharing.
