Man, I can't get these as a sharable link from AliExpress to save my life! Try this link to their store. If it doesn't work, search JUELONG Official Store and when you hover over their link you should see "This store has been in business since October 12, 2018." There are multiple store numbers, depending on the server webpage or app you are viewing from, and country, etc. www.aliexpress.com/store/1101302852?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000007.1.513938fdjFE1dR
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.
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.
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!
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...!
