Saturday I took the bracelet off my Auto Diver and put the Z22 strap back on it.

This morning sitting at my desk I felt the watch fall off my wrist and into my lap. I can't complain much, it must be 12 years old. It didn't break at the springbar, it broke at one of the flex points that sits near the side of the wrist.

But this strap seems to be more plastic than rubber. Are there rubber strap options from Seiko or elsewhere that are cheaper than Isofrane for example?

I think I have a NATO strap somewhere I can use in the interim.

Thanks,
Chris

You look for Seiko DAL1BP or ZLM29 flat vent.

Bonetto cinturini makes a flat vent which is super comfy and vanilla scented...watch prince sells them.

Was it just me, but I had some MM style 20mm strap and it had strong rubber smell, and not the good kind

They are made from polyurethane. As mentioned above, there are aftermarket alternatives that are made from natural rubber. You can also get one-piece nylon straps, such as what was worn with the Benrus Type I. You get "NATO" security without the extra bulk.

Those Maratac Mil series straps are very nice. Have 'em on an Arnie and SKX173 currently. They're comfy and easy take put on and take off.

I highly second Rob's suggestion. These babies are rubber and are supper comfortable. I have a blue one on an SKX mod.
