And another diver ready for Summer time without the need for rubber!

And not being against FKM or other rubber straps, always felt bad about needing to swap bracelets for those as summer arrived, given the few mm my wrists swell and shrink across a given day meant a regular use impossible without packing a tool around.

Then I discovered on the fly tooless adjustment on a an Ali buy and was sold - why could I not have those on non-premium watches!

After upgrading a San Martin with branded hardware (https://www.watchcrunch.com/Simeao/posts/nspa-new-strap-part-alert-320713), was playing around that idea with my Orient Mako 3, only to not finding a branded option. Long story short, 10 EUR spent and a postman arriving an hour ago and job done. The Mako is now sporting a on the fly adjustable bracelet and ready for the summer season.

Yes, some will say I am exaggerating the need for this but if I can have a proper fit for the whole day and not having a watch too loose or too tight in some areas of the day, I chose to spend the extra few bucks to get there!
