I've been wanting a PO 2500 style rubber strap for my PO 8500. Finally found one at a great price. Just thought I'd post a pic in case anyone was curious what this combo looked like. Definitely not as comfortable as the PO 8500 rubber/deployant combo but it is a bit more robust. There is also a pic showing case thickness with this strap as I found it difficult to find a picture when I was doing my own research. Not sure if I'll keep his combo I may have to pick up an entire new watch to go with it.
