Extreme Deepsea
My search for strap options for the Deepsea progresses and my first stop is the Hirsch Extreme. Originally thought this would look odd but I think it looks great.
Granted it's aggressive but the Deepsea isn't exactly discreet anyway...
Perfect length for my wrist, extremely comfortable and well-balanced.
Only mod I'd like to make is to swap out the buckle for one with screws
- any suggestions are welcome.

I think it actually looks quite good...
A standard design diver strap like a JLC one or Panerai Logo strap would look even better. A little more toned down. I wish rolex would make rubber straps for their dive watches.
This is a lovely watch
This is a lovely watch, no question. I support Aless156 suggestion to consider other alternative bands that are in line with very simple, yet "I-am-here", design of the SD. Best wishes.
It's an interesting combo...
...even if this kind of straps are not my cup of tea. Thanks for sharing your experiments ! Cheers Jeff
thanks Jeff
I agree that I wish Rolex would support a rubber strap option for the dive watches. Still exploring other options...
Very Nice . Better than the small bracelet IMO
This DS should have come with a comfy thick rubber strap like the new ROO Diver the ss bracelet just doesn'fit that big case olivier
Looks...
...good. I only ever see these on the bracelet or a NATO. Good to see one on a proper ribbed dive strap, but the proof is in a wristshot...possible?
Looks good, bro!
Looks good, bro! That will help do bring down the weight of that watch. I actually sold mine recently after 6+ months of heavy use - it is just too darn heavy and thick IMO. Cheers, Patrick
Great choice, bro!
Is that a 20mm? Looks like a good fit although I read somewhere that the Deepsea has 21mm lugs. I'm waiting for Isofrane to come out with their 20mm... -Jeff (SGP)
thanks
This is the 22mm version and I squeezed it in so I would be sure there was no visible gap.
