Pick a strap for this Yema.

I’ve narrowed it down to these two Dan Henry FKM retro divers.

Thematically, the rally holes really look the part, but I have pretty hairy arms and not sure it will be a good look.

The plain version is pretty simple and classic, and it’s the one my wife likes, so my decision may already be made.

Personally, I’d go with plain but these Yema straps, if they are a thing like the tropic style ones they made a few years ago are incredibly stiff and uncomfortable. I’d go with original vintage tropic if you want a rubber strap, but they are really expensive. The uncle straps look great but they are not as comfy as vintage tropic.

Yeah these aren’t Yema straps. They’re from Dan Henry and made from super pliable FKM flouro elastomer, like an Apple Watch strap.

I don't think we can give educated opinions on this critical topic without photos of the arm hair. 🙄

Yeah, not a fan of those types of straps personally.
