I have been thinking about the same solution… Best Blomman

It is a great solution

and the original leather strap was a little tight for my comfort. Best regards, George

I have the same feeling…

But haven’t yet done anything about it. I do love the articulated rubber bracelet (have it on my Squadra) but it adds some extra weight that I am not that fond of… The good thing with the ARB is that it’s very comfortable and good looking! Best Blomman... 

Funny

I thought that it was really light. Regards, George

It’s light in compared to what's meets the eye…

It looks very “big”. May be the NSA ARB version is lighter; I have the RG version to my Squadra. Does the NSA have the TI version? Best Blomman

TI version

yes the clasp is in TI. I really don't find it that heavy compaired to the leather strap that was on it when I purchased the watch. Oh by the way my wife has finally caught on to the fact that I purchased it. Certainly took her a while. It is really a wee... 

I'm slightly changing my mind on them.

I always found them comfortable, but now I'm beginning to appreciate them, too, on an aesthetical ground. It enhances the NDA dark side, eeerrrr, I meant, darkness. Best, George. Nicolas.

They have both of these advantages

and in the clasp they have a little feature that permits you to lenghten the strap a little for days when it is hot and your wrist gets a little bigger. Hey another feature on the NSA that I just noticed by accident is that on the crown that is intended t... 

Yes, George, they wrote Alarm and Date on the upper crown...

to avoid any confusion when setting the Alarm or the Date. It doesn't ruin the aesthetic of the watch, as the writing is discrete. Clever. Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-03-05 01:00:11

Writing

Yes, the writing is discrete and faces down when the crown is closed so you only see it when setting the date or alarm. very helpful feature.

George, I have to say......

Looks great. grigo! I've been wearing my NSA almost daily so it can get a bit dirty. I've found bath and hand soap can leave a slightly white residue on some of my rubber straps so i've avoided using soap on the articulated rubber. So far, i've found a go... 

Try maybe alcohol?

It should do the job. Try maybe first on a small aerea on the back side to see how it goes. Good luck. Yog

I like !

Hello! I just bought that strap for my navyseal chrono gmt, the one with yellow details. I hated the original leather one, tried a panerai leather, and yesterday took the articulated. It is pretty expensive, but its awesome! The watch got amazing, very co... 

I love it!

I love the rubber brazalete. Since I saw the NSA I have always believed that it is the one wich gives most character to this watch. Enjoy it Saludos, Fernando

About the cleaning issue, my AD here in brazil gave me a cleanig kit for rubber from cartier that i believe that works, this bracelet is almost the same as the cartier pasha seatimer, and i'm used to use on my wifes cartier brecelet and works very well......
