You must see all these New Rubber Straps, starting at $45!

[@giantsnerd]

I purchased a 20mm smooth, pure white FKM strap. I really like it, great fit and feel. Only nitpick is that the smooth straps are really long. The straight-end smooth straps are 75x140mm, compared to an ISOFrane which are 75x125mm. A stock Seiko STO rubber strap is 130 or 135mm on the long end. If you have smaller wrists you are going to have a lot of excess strap on the long end.

[@119fatty]

This is good news for me and my 9 inch wrists!

[@Sergiors93]

These look great. Would be nice to have a “short” option for us small wrist folk!

[@Nightfury0695]

Thanks a lot for bringing in the FKM rubber straps and giving us the option between metal and rubber keepers. And please bring back the Northport Seafoam in stock soon, cant wait to pick one up when it is available.

[@islandwatch]

Soon!

[@sincladp]

People are always talking about how nice and honest you are which is really great. BUT as a businessman, sincerely thank you for not always trying to market b.s. you seem to always have something new that people actually want. Good eye sir.

[@islandwatch]

Haha, thank you. I just tell it as it is.

[@gunner9010]

I've been wanting the cyan? blue Squale watch but the Islander sky blue is looking pretty nice on here with the white strap. Thanks.

[@shortstuff9990]

I couldn't ignore your holiday pricing on the waffle straps so now I have a couple on order. I'm also looking forward to a new Citizen from you. Happy holidays to Marc and the team!

[@saleendriver]

Love FKM straps. But you know what I'd love more even than that? LIW Hoodies!!!!!

[@islandwatch]

Awesome!!!

[@chuckgladfelter]

I just ordered one of these. I have an 8 1/2" wrist and it's good to find something in a long length.

[@LS1007]

I like rubber straps but they tend to make my wrist sweat. I’ve switched some to nylon and canvas to solve that issue. Thanks Marc. Have a great day! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@islandwatch]

I understand that.

[@jefferyneu3915]

Those look AMAZING! Isofrane Quality for a MUCH more reasonable price. After Christmas has passed, I see at least three of these coming my way. As always, thanks for all you do for us!❤️

[@islandwatch]

Sweet, thanks Jeffery.

[@ElderPinto254]

wauw nice straps mark and that islander with the white strap thats a dream !!! i need a islander but i live in holland i just keep dreaming

[@RatInCage-E102]

I want one with locking keepers! Like the barton silicone elite straps, but FKM

[@chuckgladfelter]

They're making their own FKM straps, but I bought Mark's version for the long length. FWIW I broke one of Barton's regular silicone straps where the spring bar goes through. The Elite silicone seems ok, though. I would still buy from Mark because he seems to care a lot about quality. I could have lost my expensive watch with that Barton strap. All of Barton's other straps seem ok and I like them.

[@azdbuk]

Love the straps, I would buy more if they were longer. Wrists 8 1/2.....:( Not fat either, otherwise I could keto my wrists down....My last fkm was too short to stay in the sleeve thing.

[@islandwatch]

Noted, thank you

[@digitalwasabi2]

Thanks for always creating, Marc! You seem to really enjoy what you are doing, and we all benefit from it.

[@mariopinder242]

That orange one should like nice on the blue sunburst Squale 1521. Mario Pinder Spanish Wells Bahamas 🇧🇸

[@ulmen24]

Can you confirm if these fit the Duro? The other Long Island SKX rubber straps are a perfect fit

[@islandwatch]

If those fit, then these would.

[@edmoore7523]

Another Home Run from LIW. I really like the fitted ends, they really class up the package. Not sure I've ever been a fan of the raised pleasure dots.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks Ed.

[@georgesidhom8215]

Dark blue is a killer look ❤❤❤❤

[@mariog7213]

Do you know if any fitted rubber straps fit an orient Neptune?

[@matto.1074]

I have the “new” Marathon FKM… very nice stuff (it had better be 🙄). Can’t wait to try these!!!!!

[@2K9s]

Wishing this 3pc was nbr… although for fkm, these aren’t overly soft and flimsy.

[@ryanthomas9306]

I was very surprised at the softness of the seiko turtle and willard straps. The Hamilton khaki diver rubber strap in comparison is much harder and slightly rougher, I regret paying the premium. How would you compare the softness of these to seiko turtle strap ?

[@ryanthomas9306]

On omega, you can swipe through all the straps on each watch so you can visibly see them I know you don’t have the same funding, but it’d be a cool feature for your islander watches

[@islandwatch]

It would, price. . .

[@wikster6630]

Was hoping you had a red option as well. The elusive red fkm. Happy holidays Marc!

[@islandwatch]

Ah, sorry! Happy Holidays!

[@bradd3840]

Can you shave down the 22mm to fit a 21mm? I think I have 4 or 5 watches with 21mm lugs for some reason.

[@JC-hd4rj]

Marc, will you do the Islander 43 in a GMT? Interested the curved band on an SKX case, but with GMT. That would be awesome!!!

[@truongduc906]

Green strap is a good color too :)

[@islandwatch]

It is, but didn't do it yet.

[@skrem23]

[@timefliesby-jleo474]

[@AD.TV_Mecha-Fresh]

do these fit the Bayport? love this watch just looking for bracelet and strap alternativs

[@islandwatch]

The straight ends, sure.

[@edteach3r]

Awesome straps, Marc. I am still wearing the Crafter Blue straps that I bought from you 5 years ago, so maybe it is time to freshen up my Seikos with a few of these new FKMs! 😊 By the way, do you plan restocking the Bayport Blue Dial #ISL-120 at some point? These sold out before I could pull the trigger. I wish you and yours a wonderful festive season, and many more LIW highlights for 2023.

[@islandwatch]

Thanks Eddie. They Bayport returns early next year, restocking the grey and rootbeer, and introducing 3 new colors.

[@andrewlittle6202]

Do you know if any of the straight-end straps will accommodate a 8.5” wrist? Thanks

[@islandwatch]

8.5 will be a stretch. A bracelet with extra links would be the best bet. We can include the bracelet links for free if you get one.

[@charles_1523]

how about making some for the tissot prx? the delugs ones are wayyy to expensive

[@b-squadhero9698]

Been really happy with the blue Southold I picked up last month. I had been eyeing it since its release, and was stoked to see the sale. It's a great watch. I'm not quite ready to fiddle with strap options yet, cuz i really like it on the bracelet...but if I were...which color fkm would you match it with? Just curious. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

[@patriciateague8677]

I'm looking for a white rubber strap for my 36.5 mm Oris Aquis upcycle. Oris doesn't seem to have it in white any longer. Any suggestions? The ends are not straight across.

Mark, have you tried any of the curved end on the newer Zodiac Super Sea Wolfs? I am struggling to find one that fits well.

[@islandwatch]

Not yet. But aren't those 20mm?

[@cdeaker]

Would appreciate a 18mm FKM strap. There aren’t many options for 18mm rubber straps, I’m stuck with either Barton Silicone then it jumps in price to (a very nice but expensive) Hirsch Pure natural rubber
