8) . The combo looks great!!
I like how the thick strap covers the gap to the case. The thickness is substantial as well.
Too bad you had to notch a 24mm strap to 20mm (a pricey one at that!). Could you have notch it down to 22mm and then squeeze the strap into the lugs? i ask this because I have way more 22mm lugs watches than 20mm lugs watches. Thanks

Thanks Badern ;) I'm pretty stoked with this combo too. I wonder if Isofrane will do a 5 strap discount for the rest of the herd ;D


I tried it @ 22mm but It just didn't fit right and I was worried about the spring bars "not" being fully seated in the lugs.

Hay...you still need a 007, a sumo, a 6105 small case and GS 200M to complete the collection

I've had a few SKX's.....IMO to small, Sumo is nice for the $$ but the strap gap is the deal breaker for me.
I'm done with vintage unless it's Minty/NOS.......that leaves the SBGA029 SS GS Diver.


The GS 200m is an incredible watch and someday I will own one.


Although I would have to see it on an Isofrane first :)) :)) :))

Shannon the MM300 looks killer on there! Great notch job mate! I've been wearing my Sumo, MM300 and 6105 all on MM300 straps lately and I must say... All 3 watches need Isophrane straps. I plan to try to get a 3 pack when the 20 and 22's are ready.

I started a custom bike build this past weekend and have decided to trim my collection in order to free up funds for the Chopper/Bobber i'm building.

The 4 watches I decided to keep are:

1. SBBN017 Tuna- The strap is like butter and the Quartz movement is good for riding.
2. MM 300- Needs Isophrane strap
3. Blue Sumo-Needs Isophrane strap
4. 6105-8110 February 1974-Needs Isophrane strap
Decided to start a project bike and curb my watch habit till she's done. Shoot me a PM if you get any updates on the strap release dates! :)

I'm just not sure about the buckle... It's a bit large in my eyes. However, that's just a small detail and I think the Isofrane looks MUCH better then the stock one.

Really? IMO the buckle is awesome 8) Its been brushed to perfection.... very high quality IMO.




Have a closer look ;) This is their RS buckle.
