Default MB2 on a jock strap

Carl and James have surpassed themselves with a special strap for me (which is likely to be a one-off given the hassle) which has been named the 'Jock Strap'. I'm blown away by the whole thing and was pleased that the MB2 isn't swamped in it. Anyway, onto to the pics:

Looks fantastic Jim! Next time I'm in AZ I'm keeping an eye out for those plates.

So, I've got to ask about the comfort factor, Gents? Just as comfortable as GGB? Seems like there's more fabric. Thoughts?

I have been wearing this strap 24/7 and it is very comfortable! The strap makes the watch very stable and keeps it from moving on your wrist. It has been very hot here In AZ and I spent all day yesterday working in my hangar on cars in the heat and I didn't know I was wearing it! The extra width is not even noticeable, plus it is very light compared to a bracelet ! I would say it is more designed for an active person and is not as versatile as the BREMONT GGB canvas strap for both dress and sport! This is just a fashion opinion of mine! I hope this is helpful to those who think it looks too wide, because it wears just like the BREMONT strap! Cheers .

Try e-mailing Carl Evans of GasGasBones, he makes the strap while James Thompson (BlackBadger) makes the buckle! Their company is called BadgerBones. Here is Carl's address! gasgasbones@googlemail.com, If he doesn't get back to you right away just keep following up until he gets back to you! He is a one man show in high demand! He will exceed your expectations! CheersJim.
