Ahh, gotcha. And that makes sense if you are doing customizations you'd have to go through their direct site. The two straps I have are the one pictured above and one made specially for the Pelagos FXD. I doubt either of them are super popular so that's probably why I didn't have stocking issues with Holben's.
Where do you purchase yours from? The two that I have cost ≈$85 each, and I buy mine from Holben's Watch Bands located in Washington - free shipping for orders over $39.
Haha it's funny, at times I've contemplated selling it to make way for something new in the collection....but any time I throw it on wrist, it just has such a magnetic presence and then I feel crazy for even contemplating selling it haha. This one is a charmer for sure.
I pondered this exact same question, here's my post from about a year ago to add even more info and/or confusion to your decision lol:

Ultimately, I ended up purchasing neither and opted for a Sinn U50 instead. No regrets, although you cannot go wrong with any of these options. I still have a bit of a longing for the railmaster if I'm honest.
I'm a big Craig fan in terms of Bond and in general....but he needs to fire the barber that gave him that haircut 😂 LOVE the watch, probably more so than the black speedy for me personally.
Thanks! This is a Seiko I've always felt has flown under the radar. It's the SPB185 also known as the "marine master reduced," or "MM200 reduced." It's basically a slightly smaller version of the Marine Master 300M line. To my knowledge this particular model is only offered in black w/steel bezel and dark blue w/black bezel, and is possibly discontinued at this point. Not sure why these didn't gain more traction in the watch community - great movement, great finishing, quality stock bracelet, and goldilocks in terms of sizing. It's a hidden gem if you ask me!
Appreciate it! I purchased this on Strapcode and it really bumped up the look and feel of the watch significantly. Here's the link: https://www.strapcode.com/collections/kamasu/products/strapcode-watch-bands-metal-ss-bcl20-bps125
