Man, I can't get these as a sharable link from AliExpress to save my life! Try this link to their store.

Just a tip. When reviewing straps you should use calipers to measure the distance between sizing holes. Thats key info. I find with tropic staps its luck if you get a good fit as the sizing holes are so spaced out. Prefer the other one which seems to have closer spacings.
Great tip! Yes, I find the tropic style straps to be hit or miss. The lug to lug length of your watch comes into play as well. But still….one hole is too tight and the next hole is too loose!
That's FANTASTIC!!! So glad you posted this Witt. Those tropic straps are identical to the ones they used to have in the 70s... (so I'm told), hahah. That's exactly what I'm looking for when I restore those old skin-divers. Man, those are great!!! Thanks!
Glad I found this video. I've purchased some quality tropic straps from eBay and I believe these are the same strap. They are brilliant. So good I'm in the process of buying all colours. Thank you
Great strap video Whitt! Nice to see a different type watch related video. I love the blue tropical strap you gave me with my Steeldive watch! One of the keepers broke off and that's fine still does the job. Keep up good content 👌💯
Thanks Steve! Wow, I’m surprised to hear that about the keeper. I haven’t had any issues with mine. The material is so dense and tough, but the keepers ARE the thinest part. Thanks for adding your real-life experience here!
Just bought a red Tropical from Juelong for my SKX007. Wow, these are so comfortable. Not sure if these are legit FKM material, but there are very comfortable. Might buy a waffle from the same store.
Absolutely! High quality and great prices. I tried their new Leather/FKM hybrid too…nice. Leather on the top side and FKM against your skin. Great summer option.
I know this video is already old but do u have any experience with much more expensive fkm rubber straps like crafter blue? How do these compare to them?
I don't, sorry. But these are very dense, yet supple FKM straps. I wear them a LOT on various watches and they're in brand new condition after all this time. In my opinion, there's no reason to pay more...these are quality!
How accurate would you say is the color of the yellow strap in your video? I got two FKM straps from Juelong, it's a different design from these two but I was super impressed with them. Now I'd like to get this style as well but the yellow on yours looks completely different. A lot more light and a bit washed out. I wonder if it's just the camera.
I think it’s a little washed out in most of this video…bad lighting, sorry. I would say it’s just a LITTLE darker in person. I think the thumbnail picture of the video (when viewing the list of videos on my channel) is closer to the actual color. 5:11 is pretty close too.
@@WatchWitt Thanks. It does seem they use slightly different colors between the models which is surprising. But the quality really took me by surprise. It feels way more expensive than it is.
Absolutely. The straps/watches shown in this video are on my EIGHT inch wrist, and there are still more holes available. You may find that there is actually too much tail to the strap, meaning that it will start to come all the way up to the top side lug on smaller wrists…probably not yours.
@@ivanmirones9220 Good to know. I haven't tried them on any Seiko divers, only the SD Capt. Willard homage and other non-diver Seikos. They work great on all those watches...!
Anyway you can update your links? Keeps taking me to the main page and I’d like to try these exact straps. Please and thank you.

@@WatchWitt thank you!! So much !!
Glad it worked…not sure why the product links won’t come over.
You have a voice for radio!

You bet! Great quality and unbeatable price. Like I said, you can afford to buy more than one! They're soooo comfortable.
Great looking straps for the $, thanks for letting us know about these 👍🏼
Yes, they’re great at twice that price…a steal under $10!
Glad I found this video. I've purchased some quality tropic straps from eBay and I believe these are the same strap. They are brilliant. So good I'm in the process of buying all colours. Thank you
LOVE these straps! My only complaint is that sometimes it’s hard to get a perfect fit due to the length between holes, but that’s the design.
Thanks for the heads up, I'm after a tropic strap for a watch in the collection. Will add one of these for sure
Great quality and feel…especially for the price! Thanks for watching, Troy!
Awesome video Witt! Great find, adding this store to my following list on Ali, beaut, thanks m8
No problem 👍 These straps feel soooooo good!

They're awesome, right?! I haven't found any reason to believe they aren't; dense, strong, flexible, don't attract dust/lint, etc.
I bought their waffle version last month and am highly satisfied! Great find and review!
Oooh, I’ll have to check that one out. Thanks for commenting!
This store has the best bang for your buck on all kinds of rubber straps and their shipping is fast
Absolutely! High quality and great prices. I tried their new Leather/FKM hybrid too…nice. Leather on the top side and FKM against your skin. Great summer option.
Just ordered one, I like the angled holes since this is always the first part of my resin straps to crack.. I think this strap will last a long time
Sounds like you got the Summit style. Yes, these are very durable. The only thing I haven’t subjected them to is lots of salt water.
It's not just less wear on the holes, it's less wear on the strap because it won't have to bend as much at the clasp
Thank you for share this knowloge.
You’re welcome…great quality straps for a low price!
Great video, thanks.

@@DM-rc4yu They have the best FKM, especially for the price! Buckles aren't too shabby either, as you know.
will this straps fit good on 7.283 inch wrist size ?
problem with some of Aliexpress straps that they are made for smaller wirst size.
Absolutely. The straps/watches shown in this video are on my EIGHT inch wrist, and there are still more holes available. You may find that there is actually too much tail to the strap, meaning that it will start to come all the way up to the top side lug on smaller wrists…probably not yours.

Seth Rogen narrating watch straps, now I have seen everything
Haha! Glad I could be of service!

Great list of names! 😂
Springbar tip size?
That info isn't on their listing, but I measure the body as 1.8mm and the tip .9mm.
Can't use these on Seiko divers
@@ivanmirones9220 Bummer...'cause they're great straps!
Really good. 0.9 mm will have to much play in ta Samurai lug hole, its ok for a Seiko 5 though.
@@ivanmirones9220 Good to know. I haven't tried them on any Seiko divers, only the SD Capt. Willard homage and other non-diver Seikos. They work great on all those watches...!
Those rubber straps look cheap.
They're not...very high quality. Great density, strength and stretch to them. The only thing cheap is the price!
Shit straps for shit watches.... A match made in heaven.
It’s a beautiful thing, right?!
