I am interested in recommendations for a rubber band to replace a second Seiko band on my 009. I do dive with it so it should expand for wetsuit sleeves, but is there a decent band to replace or should I just get a NATO? I’m not terribly familiar with size adjustments on those straps.

Anyone have ideas or recommendations?

NATO for diving.  More secure than a strap.  22mm width for a 009

With a nato, if a spring pin let's go, you won't lose your watch.

Leather type breaking or what? The materials that failed are rubber-like, metal, or leather-like? Be specific about the 009.

Rubber like. It’s been comfortable, replaced it once, but it’s starting to rip near the hole I usually use for securing it.

I think Seiko has a silicone version for some of their Titanium divers.  Might try that.  

I really like NATOs on SKX Seikos, and they now make a rubber NATO, which is neat in that the watch tends to flop around on the wrist less than the regular NATOs.

That’s why I had been worried about NATO straps already, I’ll look into this.
