“Actually bought this strap for a Seiko Ice Monster (SRP481K1) and no, it doesn't fit that watch. Strap is too thick to move close enough to the case to allow a spring bar to line up and engage the lug holes. I was forced to remove material (ie: trim with an X-acto knife) from the strap to make it work. Not something I'd recommend for the faint of heart, but it worked for me and it looks great on the Ice Monster!”
“Excellent strap that matches my Padi Turtle really well. Unfortunately I incured a £15 import tax here in the UK which made my purchase quite expensive.”
“The strap itself is great quality, similar feel to the black one that came stock with my Turtle. Bought the strap for my 22mm Seiko SRP777, but the real estate around the lug holes is a bit too thick to fit the SRP without feeling like the spring bars fly out at some point. I’m guessing the Turtles short lugs are at odds with the strap.
Again, great quality and purchase experience, but does not fit all 22mm lugs like described.”
“So.....recently purchased a nice soft rubber 22mm seiko divers strap for my new srpb seiko, the rubber strap is fine....but the buckle is uncomfortable as it gets, it has sharp edges and is already digging into my wrist, not what you would expect from a 50 dollar strap....so not best pleased at having to look for another buckle already...:(”
“The Seiko rubber dive strap is an excellent replacement for the stock metal bracelet simply because it is much more comfortable. The strap conforms to the wrist better because it is supple straight out of the packaging and makes wearing my SRP773 Turtle enjoyable. The weight difference enhances the wear-ability and comfort as well. There is a down side and that is it has a tendency to cause perspiration on hot days but you get that with metal bracelets and leather straps as well so not a big deal. Marc and his team at Island Watch got this out to me in record time and the communications with them is excellent. I would recommend this item to any Seiko Dive Watch owner as well as buying with confidence from Island Watch.”
