My 16710 is a little uncomfortable on the wrist with the SEL bracelet in hot weather. We are currently in very hot weather! I thought of Nylon and rubber, but they are worse. The carbon strap might be the answer.

Fantastic photo's Bruce!!

Thanks Steve! It's carbon. I had an Omega kevlar once and hated it. One of the most uncomfortable straps I've ever had on Honestly, I've not worn the strap enough in hot weather to have an opinion. I hear of a lot of guys who do though. They aren't very expensive so you won't loose much to try it.

It fits the lugs just fine. Covers up the spring bar. Like most straps it doesn't cover the side of the case all that well, but it looks good enough for me.
Cheers,
Bruce
