Gerard (jlux) shares his discovery of Atelier Romane tropic rubber straps, highlighting their ideal 19cm length for smaller wrists—a common challenge for collectors. His detailed review offers valuable insights for enthusiasts seeking comfortable and well-fitting strap options for their dive watches. This post also sparked a discussion on alternative strap brands and the enduring appeal of strap customization.

These work fine during the summer with some of my casual dive watches.



Typically, most tropic rubber straps are too long for my liking (+- 21 cm).
These however are only 19 cm and are a good fit for my 17cm wrist.
They come from "Atelier Romane" ,are well made,not too expensive and with the option (recommended) of quick-release springbars.
However,they are only available with 20 mm lug width.

Best,
Gerard

Excessive length on this kind of strap has really frustrated me! Another good one I've found is Serica's rubber straps (slightly different style of than these, feels great, but also limited to 20mm)

The orange works well with the two Seikos, the blue with the Longines ,.....

I am rather at the end of my watch collecting story and exchanging straps can bring freshness to old watch companions.

By now I also have a red Barton strap for the U 50 which works very well.
