Just wanted to offer a quick recommendation for Artem Straps. I've had a BP Bathyscaphe for a couple of years and really like the original sailcloth strap. It's kind of thin, though, so I've often worn the watch on a NATO or a Wolbrook tropical rubber strap (also terrific) to keep from wearing out the OEM strap.

I recently heard about Artem, though, and decided to check them out. A couple of their options look VERY much like the BP OEM straps but they are thicker and I'm sure will be a lot more durable. Break-in is a little longer, but within a couple of days the fit was great. And again, it feels like durability will be off the charts.

The straps are terrific for the BP line but would also be great for any diver.

I'm happy to post pics if anybody is interested.
