I always try to have a number of strap options for each of my watches, but have really struggled to find some different options for my Cobra Yellow Avenger II Seawolf. I have all 3 variations of the rubber for my Oceanracer clasp, but nothing else seemed to work (apart for the bracelet of course).

I received this earlier, and after a little work with the old Dremmel, here are the results. I think that I like it so far, more than I thought I would anyway. Please feel free to judge me :D

I'd agree,

And love that you took a little work and time to make it work.

May I respectfully suggest it's not so snug between the lugs to scrape the upper edges???

Very nice setup.

What are the details. What brand. Where. How much.

What work was involved. I'd love to add one to my seawolf.

That looks very nice indeed. You will probably favour this combo in the future as you created it in the first place. With imagination & a can do attitude you can achieve most things. Well done.

Thanks guys. I think it does work well with the watch, but is a little snug at the lugs, which I will sort out

Supra8903 - I will send you a link to where I got it from if I can
