I can literally smell those tropic straps from a mile away!!! Bomb!!!

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Facts!!

[@g.shumway5925]

Im actually not a fan of quick-release. aside from lug width, different watches are better with specific spring bars versus others. Quick-release styles deprive you of that flexibility. It’s more of gimmicky thing that became more common with Apple watch owners.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

I agree, certain watches do work better with specific spring bars. But personally I do like the convenience of quick release without destroying lugs lol.

[@d.kashani]

facts. i always take them off and use shoulderless 2mm-2.5mm depending on the strap for my divers (which all of drilled lugs).

[@drift903]

Boom is spot on at intro lol. Great details as always without any scripts at front, amazing. Haha

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

😂😂😂 thank you bro! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@G17-911]

Thanks for the reviews. I just received my Borealis isofrane style strap and it took almost 4 weeks to arrive. It was only $42 and is a good strap for the price, but Isofrane/Tropic (same company) is much more supple and has a better feel on the wrist. Though pricey, they are worth it. Take care.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Appreciate you watching as well as sharing 👊😊

Thanks for this review and thorough break down of the various options. I own the original tropic and some OEM ones. In the search for a better value option, the eBay straps were recommended, so I just I ordered half a dozen in various colours yesterday. When I saw ‘eBay’ in the thumbnail to this video, I was curious to know what you’d say, but it appears they’re not at all bad and perhaps it’s hard to justify the premium on the more expensive options. This way I can buy multiples of the same strap for different watches and I can try out different colours without incurring too much expense. If I have a favourite pairing on a particular watch, I can always buy the equivalent coloured original tropic further up the road. Keep up the good work! C 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

What's up Craig 👊😊. Bro, I truly appreciate you watching. I hope you enjoy the straps. Come back and let me know what you think once you get them. I'd love to hear your input. Honestly, in my opinion the premium price gets you the smaller things that to some matter... Like a bit more tapper on the strap, or the nice smell you get with the tropics, etc... Other than that these eBay ones do the trick and feel great😉🍻. Thanks again for watching means a lot!

[@josephj7387]

Good review bud! Just a pointer...the second strap shown - the grey tropic strap is the OG tropic strap...all others you've shown is derived from the tropic company. All good in their own right no doubt.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Thank you for the kind words and appreciate you watching. Yeah I forgot to mention they were the OG tropic strap. Honestly love their straps. Freaking awesome in my opinion.

[@bryanryan4504]

I love good quality tropic straps. They transform the divers.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

I totally agree with you. Appreciate you watching 🍻😊

[@thebaldwatchcollector]

I always overlook this style strap, oh it looks so good!!!

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

They're great options for sure 😊

[@oktc68]

My £150 watch came with a really nice signed (strap and buckle) tropic strap. Soft, super flexible and dead comfy. Proper springbars too.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

That's awesome! Especially for the price point, that's great! Appreciate you watching 🍻

[@bruceleroy8063]

Thanks bud. Just what I'm looking for.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Glad I could help 😊🙏

[@a_commisso77]

Going with the eBay ones! Better price and love the quick release! Definitely getting the Tropic strap after if I enjoy the eBay ones.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Appreciate you watching 😊🙏 and honestly the eBay option isn't a bad one. I hope you enjoy them 🍻

THE LEGEND OF THE TROPIC There are hundreds of rubber strap models and styles, but through the years, there’s only been one strap that is known by its brand name, the TROPIC® strap. Once standard issue for the world’s most iconic dive watches throughout the sixties and seventies, the TROPIC® name is back to dive again, using a new and proprietary vulcanized rubber formula optimized to deliver unmatched wearer comfort and quality. Like the original, the new Genuine TROPIC® strap shares the same design elements, adhering to the textured ‘tapestry’ surface that made the original a beloved, multi-generational icon. Its deeply embossed back, and tapered shape are designed to increase wearer comfort, while the strap’s ends are uniquely shaped to create a seamless transition between case, lugs and strap. Cool review ✌🏻

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Appreciate you watching 👊😊 and some good info on the TROPIC strap. It's definitely a great strap.

[@earlbee3196]

@@timelesssneakersandwatches For sure I just purchased two.

[@DavidSchwartzjr]

I gotta smell those straps bro!! Lol, vanilla is so much better than sushi 🍣!! Great strap options and I’m glad to see them range in prices to give some variation to consider for various budgets! 😎🍻👍

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

😂😂😂 yes better than sushi for sure! Lol they're awesome straps man, anyone who purchase those straps won't be disappointed. Thanks for watching bud 😊🍻

[@jpjuliano2008]

What are the odds that i was looking a good strap for a SPB191 and there you have it on thar cool Tropic.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Glad I could help a little 😉 also great minds think alike 🍻

[@manuelmikewa]

Great review. It seems the eBay strap was removed. Any alternate link? Or an alternate vendor/product you could recommend for a similar price?

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Appreciate you watching glad you enjoyed the video 😊🍻. Try this link, seems to be the same strap: www.ebay.com/itm/Men-Strap-Band-For-Watch-Retro-Tropical-Style-Wristband-Rubber-Quality-Pro-Diver-/403340962961?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

[@bruceleroy8063]

Went with a blue and black ebay special. I'd buy the more expensive ones if they had quick release.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Yeah quick release is always a plus. Those eBay specials aren't a bad options. Come back and let me know what you think about them 😊🍻

[@Tom_H327]

No disrespect imtended, but the more times you say the phrase "high quality" I really want to believe you mean "cheap as shit" because all these straps are the same. But, I'm just talking shit....cause I'm not a expert and I dunno the difference. Nice vid and great info. Thanks. Subbed!!

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

😂😂 no offense taken and I appreciate the honesty! Only way I can improve. But real talk, if you get the chance try an Oris strap or "Tropic" strap you won't be dissapointed. Appreciate the support 👊😉.

[@twitchyjambo]

Funnily enough the Tropic strap feels nice 😂 yeah bro it's the original 🤯

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

🤣

[@paulchristian5375]

Yo wtf I had the exact Idea of grey tropic on the white Samurai. Glad I went for black tho. The stock silicone strap is already very good, but I want something flatter.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Paul!!!! Bro! Appreciate you watching 🍻 and great minds think a like 😂😂😂. I agree the stock strap is pretty nice but no doubt these "Tropic" straps are the business. 🔥🔥

[@lawrenceh7182]

What diameter spring bars can you get through these? I normally use Fat boys at 2.5mm…..

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Appreciate you watching. You might wanna go thinner. Fat boys may be to thick. Now from experience, I've squeezed a fat boy in there just a pain to take out lol.

[@lawrenceh7182]

@@timelesssneakersandwatches Thanks man, appreciate it

[@rafayz9033]

If you had to choose between the Tropic and the Oris, which would you go for?

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Honestly, I'd have to go with Tropic. Quality is about the same so you won't be missing out with one or the other. But I love the color options, the size options and the smell of the tropic straps is amazing as crazy as that sounds lol the only thing I wish tropic would change or "upgrade" is quick release spring bars. That would make the straps perfect.

[@mcj5644]

Very nice video, man! 💯 Couple of quick questions, what sort of spring bars are you using for the Tropic Strap on your King Samurai? Do the OEM Seiko “Fat Boy” spring bars fit inside the Tropic straps? Thanks and cheers! ⌚️🥃😎

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. The fat boy spring bars are too thick and even tho you can squeeze them in there, they're a pain to take off the strap. I would use a 2mm spring bar with tips that are 1.1mm diameter to fit the Seiko case like the OEM spring bars.

[@mcj5644]

@@timelesssneakersandwatches Gotcha. Thanks for that information and cheers, man! 👍

[@oktc68]

Try the Max one on Amazon. Their Waffle strap is the most comfortable waffle strap I've come across including some 3 figure ones. Just £20, what's that $25 or something?

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Niiice!! Will check these out. Appreciate the info. As well as you watching 👊😊.

Nice. How to do find the Tropic vs Borealis?

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Honestly they're both great! Can't go wrong with either option. The tropic have more color options and sizes as well as they smell so good!

[@TheWatchCorner]

Great video Omar. I'm very surprised you dint have Uncle Seiko on this video, hands down the best Tropic Strap made! Maybe you dint know about them so check them out.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Yeah, left a few out lol tons out there. I'll have to do a part 2 and include some ether brands 😊🍻

Does tropic include spring bars thanks.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Appreciate you watching, it does not unfortunately.

[@Madmanmarque]

Tropic is the original from the 60's. The company bought the rights to the name and built them to original specs.. it is also real vulcanized rubber.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Appreciate you watching 😊🍻 and you're absolutely correct.

[@user-fe5uh2bi2t]

Is the tropic color in your review light gray or anthracite?

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Appreciate you watching, I believe this is the light grey version.

[@tiagodvt]

Great review! The best I've ever handled was definitely Joseph Bonnie's - better than the actual Tropic imo. Comes with rounded edges at the top. You should definitely check them out :)

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Tiago! Appreciate you watching 👊😊 glad you enjoyed the video. And thank you for the recommendation, will have to check out Joseph Bonnie.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

@Eric Estrada will have to look into these. Appreciate the info.

[@tiagodvt]

@Eric Estrada from the photos they certainly seem to be the same. Same dimensions, same design, same markings on the inside, same price. Some people also claim Wolbrook to sell the same strap, just with a different buckle. I have no idea if they are the same or not, so I can't confirm nor deny.

[@antoniuscaesardscandia]

I smell it also 😊👍

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Great smell lmao 🙌

[@GaryGiffin]

Does the Tropic Pattern continue to the lug side of the strap? Don't like it if its just blank or no pattern.

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

Yeah, the pattern continues throughout the entire strap 😊👊.
