    New strap, fresh Mojo

    I haven’t worn a watch on velcro since I was a teenager. Back then I had a black “GUL” surfers watch on a bright yellow band, the coolest timepiece/strap combination obtainable and a real chick magnet.

    20 steel and perlon years later some coolness wouldn’t hurt, and luckily GasGasBones is back in business. This Zero-Zero is the most comfortable watch band I have tried, and I think it suits the Explorer quite well. No eager gazes from the ladies so far though, but that may not be the velcros fault. Possibly the watch. :P

    A few pics:

    I absolutely love that!! Great photos too, really shows it off to good effect.

    Edit: In fact, I like it so much I've just bought one :)

    That's a really good look. I approve! A really appropriate strap for an Explorer.

    When I had my MBII, I wore it exclusively on the Bremont velcro, which I think is made by Carl. True/false? Either way, it was a great strap.

    With the couple popping up on the SC, I'm tempted to try one on my Breitling CA M1, but I'm worried that it may make an already tall watch even taller. Might have to just try!

    Thanks for posting.

    So have I. It will be interesting to see it on an Omega Dynamic chrono.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    When I first read 'Velcro strap'' in your post I thought No!

    Then I looked at the fantastic pics and it's a definite Yes!

    So much so, I have just ordered one too.

    Been thinking of trying a velcro for some time, this has put me several steps closer to the edge. Love the no cyclops look as well, it's how they should all come out of the factory IMO.

    Very nice... Great combination.
    Did you " de-cyclops" yourself?

    Tan is the way forward :thumbright:



    But that style of strap really suits the explorer. Nice one :)

    IMHO A GasGas is a better match for a Speedmaster than it is for a Explorer
