Picked up my SUN019 today and the bracelet had a faulty push pin, so I threw it on a Panatime strap I had and I like it a lot. Problem is, the Panatime isn’t water proof, and this watch will be in the pool with me on regular basis come summer.
I have a couple of Hirsh waterproofs (Grand Duke and Carbon fiber) on my other watches, but they would appear to be a little to thin to look right on this beast.
Is anyone familiar with the Hirsch Mariner strap, and how it would hold up to weekly jumps in the pool?
No nato or silicone strap ? Such a blasphemy! That's what the watch was destined to be on if you ask me. IMO a nato strap will be the most resilient. Those things can take a punch, or a jump. Both from a plane and from a trampoline.
Also, always wash your watch and strap after you get out of the water as sea salt or pool chlorine will damage both the strap and the watch, on the long term.
I have several Natos and Rubber straps, unfortunately none are 24mm. The only Natos I really like are the RAF style which has a cloth keeper instead of the two extra metal links. Makes for a much cleaner looking set up without the strap sticking up like a bow on a Christmas present.
Unfortunately I can't find any RAF Natos in 24mm size.
I had that strap on a Sinn U1, and it never fit right, couldn't get to fit comfortably, either it was too loose, or too tight depending on what hole you used on the strap.
Addendum, I found these on Ebay for $44., which is less then 1/2 the price I paid for the ones on my Sinn. Since they came in 24mm, long, I jumped on it, and they are on the way. Now if they only comfortaby fit? We shall see!
