The original &#8220;Presidential&#8221; style bracelet is very nice, but the simple black gives the watch a sportier look.  The original band is so nice, I put it on my Pepsi Seiko (I&#8217;ll post photos of that later.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/rubber_clasp.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-154\" title=\"rubber_clasp\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/rubber_clasp-400x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another thing I really like about this band is the clasp.  It is a deployment style with pushbuttons and a safety clasp.  It also has three micro adjustment positions, a nice touch.  Most rubber straps use a simple buckle design, which is easy to use, but the holes tend to oval out over the years.  The brushed stainless finish is almost a perfect match for the head of the watch.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/orange_in_hand.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-155\" title=\"orange_in_hand\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/orange_in_hand-400x313.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"313\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Overall, you can see it really works with the watch.  A big plus is that it stays in place on the wrist as well. The original bracelet allowed it slide down and the crown guards tended to dig into my hand.  Now, I put it on and it doesn&#8217;t wander all over the place.  The rubber is very flexible and breathes surprisingly well.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you are in the market for new watch band, try out some Italian rubber.<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;t=Rubber%20Strap&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2008%2F05%2Forange_rubber-335x400.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Rubber%20Strap\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share by email\" href=\"mailto:?subject=Rubber%20Strap&#038;body=Hey%20check%20this%20out:%20http%3A%2F%2Fwatches.cyberphreak.com\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:24px;height:24px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Share by email\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" style=\"display: inline;width:24px;height:24px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/48x48\/mail.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-credit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"WordPress Social Media Feather\" href=\"http:\/\/synved.com\/wordpress-social-media-feather\/\" style=\"color:#444;text-decoration:none;font-size:8px;margin-left:5px;vertical-align:10px;white-space:nowrap\"><span>by <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline;margin:0;padding:0;width:16px;height:16px\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"feather\" src=\"http:\/\/watches.cyberphreak.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/icon.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got an early Father&#8217;s Day gift, a new Italian made rubber strap for my Orange Bullet.
