So I wanted to give the original black ostrich Minerva some rest. Itโ€™s been humid here.

The journey continues with something different. I donโ€™t believe I have seen a Minerva on a rubber strap before.

Could this be a first ? ๐Ÿ˜„

That's a first, indeed. But I think a nice rough calf strap can be a better choice for this beauty.

Hi Marc, have you ever tried the IsoSwiss Skinkan straps ? It is vulcanized rubber with leather aspect, and they are both comfortable and with a well-made leather aspect. Definitely worth a try under your latitudes ! :)

Hi Montres, no havenโ€™t tried it

I donโ€™t mind if they would like to send me one to test and review though. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ This one Iโ€™m wearing is silicone so itโ€™s very soft. ๐Ÿค
