Maratac straps...

...for $6 :

http://www.countycomm.com/pvc.html

This is a composite (PVC) strap with colored stitching and still available in most sizes and colors. I can vouch for the CS from countycomm, though not yet for the straps themselves. I did order several and I will report to the membership when I have used one for a a few days. At $6 dollars you really can't go wrong.

Thanks, I just ordered a couple.

Awesome! I am cautiously optimistic.

I'm wearing one of these right now w/red stitching. Not a bad strap. Really thin and flexible, and it has held up well on a cheap beater in the Florida climate and my sweaty ass for the work days. After a year, hasn't faded or marred and the stitching has retained it's vibrancy. Clings to the skin well, not much sliding or spinning during activities.

Thanks for the review!

I have 2, a black with black stitching and black with white stitching.
Free to whoever wants one or both (even if we disagree politically or religiously)...
PM me, first come first serve.

Thank you for the intel. I have an orange face diver and an early 70's blue face cusion case chronometer to try them out on. This is a great way to try the contrasting stiching look before buying a nice leather strap, and perhaps being dissapointed with the look. My strap reject drawer is getting full.
Thanks again,Steve

You are welcome sir.

Promise me you won't post a stupid fucking silent film of your favorite (insert make and model of watch here) every time you reply :flavv:

I ordered a couple of the straps and got them yesterday. They are more flexible than I would have guessed and even have a tiny bit of stretch like leather for a good fit. The maratac straps have a fixed keeper and a floating one. With an 8 inch wrist the straps are long enough but I won't need to use the floating keeper. I like them and for $6 they seem a great deal. Here is a quick pic in bad light that shows them on a couple of watches. One is 20mm and the other 22mm.

Damn, those are some nice looking straps Mark, especially for $6.

Still have the (2) 24mm black for anyone that wants them.

That might look sweet on my Oceanaire. PM me your price and payment details.

There was sound in the movie, Anthony; didn't you hear the links clanking around and the guy's heavy breathing...? :jack:

I did but then I went into the fetal position and started slapping my hands against my ears...

Update: No matter the lug width, the straps with white stitching are shorter than those in the other colors at least with the batch that I ordered.
