I'm not usually one to write reviews, but these new tropics are so good. The timing of the release was perfect because I was neck-deep in tropic strap research when they announced these and I decided to take the plunge. These really are great. First, my biggest concern was the way the buckle sits, which is kind of a problem on a lot of tropics — the buckle sits perfectly on these and it has a nice vintage look so A+ there. Also, I was worried about how supple it would be — again it's super soft and pliable and wraps around the wrist instead of wearing stiff, great fit on my 7-inch wrist. I ordered three — blue, black, and green. All of the colors are nice and rich and look great on my watches. If you've been looking for a good tropic and don't want to pony up for the more expensive options (some being $90+), you just can't go wrong with these. So happy I ordered them. One thing to note — the quick release spring bars are fine, but for Seiko divers (I'm using them on a SPB143 and a SPB213), I did pop out the quick releases and put in the OEM Seiko bars. So, if your'e wondering if these will accept "fat" Seiko bars — they do!
