For my Turtle?

First off, has to be rubber. No leather, cloth, woven nylon, etc.

My OEM strap is getting ready to break

Help me, ARF horologists!

IMO, the Seiko DAL1BP is the perfect strap for them. It's visually similar to the GL831 which originally came on the first 6309 divers in the late '70s, but made of more modern synthetic materials. It's stiff to start out but boiling and shaping works like a charm.

Some people prefer the Uncle Seiko version of the GL831, which is a bit softer but seems sticky to me.

Here's my original 6309 with DAL1BP strap.
