THIS IS THE ONE!!!
I've been searching every where for the perfect strap for my modded Seiko SRPD79. I acturally tried 6 different straps before I settled for this one. Some of them looks good but feels terrible. Some of them feels great but looks terrible. Some are almost there but the material is just too cheap. This one is perfect. It's exactly what I want in terms of look, feel, and value.Buy this strap. You won't be disappointed.

Looks great but not the most comfortable
This strap looks awesome on all my Seiko SKX’s. The fitment of the curved ends is pretty spot on and it looks like the higher end oyster flex style bracelets you find on Rolex yacht masters.The only issue for me is that it’s not really as comfortable to wear as you would think. If you have a flatter wrist (like me) it will pinch around the edges of your wrist and not quite wrap around as you would hope. It’s still very much wearable but it will leave indentation on your wrist. I would imagine if the lug to lug of your watch goes all the way to the edges of your wrist you won’t have this problem but for my 7” wrist it is.I’d still recommend the strap but I will say it’s pretty expensive for what it is.

very nice strap, needs a smaller size
I really love the color and the curved end looks really slick on the watch.however, the the material it's made of (silicon/rubber?) gets dirty very quickly. Normal wear after 2 to 3 weeks left a noticeable darker tint to all the edges of the strap, which although can be easily cleaned is kind of inconvenient to do.The other issue and the main reason why I had to ultimately return the item is that the strap only comes in one size; and it's very large (due to it having to fit over a wet suit). The product comes with multiple strap keepers which is nice but are unfortunately not snug enough to stay in place, making the strap tail flop around and gets caught on jackets, pockets, etc...

Great strap, worth every penny
Pure quality made strap. From the packaging, the extras it comes with, the warranty, this strap is amazingly well made and it fits the watch (SKX007) absolutely perfectly. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because for me, the strap is a little thick, making it bulky on my small wrist. Personal preference but man this is a quality strap.

If you want to rock your seiko on a rubber strap, this is the one you're looking for.
Get the right strap for your seiko as this company makes rubber straps specific to your seiko's geometry. Specifically, the straps are designed to leave no space between the spring bar and the case. They are in other words, specifically crafted for a specific seiko model. For example, I have a samurai, but mistakenly ordered the SKX strap.Because of my error the strap sat maybe 1-2mm off the top of the case. As it stands, Blue Crater do not make a gray strap for the samurai. I suspect it's coming (fingers crossed).Nonetheless, the strap is super high quality. And Blue Crater will certainly succeed by making these awesome straps for various seiko models. Are there cheaper straps? Sure. But buy nice or buy twice.Or as the review that sold me on the strap says: this is the one you're looking for: high quality, affordable, and durable. I haven't worn a better rubber strap... now... if I can get a gray one for my samurai.

Very thrilled!
I think this strap is great and a huge upgrade from the stock seiko dive strap with the wave pattern. I’m surprised by some of the negative comments considering how good it looks and feels, especially in contrast to the stock seiko rubber strap. I guess the only con is that the watch doesn’t lie flat on the table when it’s off, but other than that it’s a gem and I love how snug it fits against the curves of the case.

Best rubber strap for SKX
Very high quality strap. Fits the Seiko skx perfect with an unbeatable look at the lugs. Super clean.Only negatives are the strap is slightly too long and slightly too thick. Still, the best available rubber strap for the skx on the market today. And not even close.

Great for seiko and others
Crafter blue makes some of the best rubber strap. These are great on my Seiko watches as well as some other models which have a similar size to Seiko. They have a mild vanilla scent to keep your strap and wrist from bad oders.

Band will absorb color from clothing
This watch band looked great when we got it but after my husband wore it a few times the band started to discolour and absolutely nothing will remove the black discolouration. I have also tried contacting the seller and had no response. Very disappointed with this product for the price it was.
