Hirsch Extreme Arrived.

Very nice strap. Takes some getting used to how crazy it looks. The pleated portions are 11mm thick. Very soft and pliable. I put it on the Orange and Black Oceanaires, as well as the BaliHa'i, and have chosen the black for now.

Someone needs to tutor me on hosting multiple images in one post.

That is one Phatass strap AH. Looks great on the Oceanaire. I haven't seen this model before, thanks for posting.

Hey man, this site is acting funky. I posted the first photo fine. Posted the second photo, and the post is not showing up. I can see that Noob has replied from the portal, but when I click the thread, I can only see my original post. I may have double posted the buckle. I've got more pics, but I'll wait until this glitch is gone.

Damn, now I can't delete the second buckle photo. Someone zap it for me. Is anyone else having problems? I had to log in and out to see the posts.

You double posted the buckle and it looks hot both times!! guess they didnt send us 5 more?? Great strap bro!

Very manly!
I've never seen a strap exactly like that-looks great,

I like the buckle too.

I like the idea that the buckle isn't overstated on the strap.

I'm having extreme problems with the site today and late last night. Somebody help me.

Sorry Cali. Thankfully 1 strap, 1 charge. Came in nine days too, which wasn't bad considering they estimated 18.

What's the problem AH? I don't have any issues here. In fact I deleted some software today that I don't use, and I think it was the Windows Search program that was giving me issues with the " ' " apostrophe key bringing up the search function every time I was here.

Looks great! I've always thought of shark when I see this strap.
How's the flexability of it?

On the problems with the site, Don and I were having problems this week pm'ing and after restarting my pc it stopped and has been working fine. I think it might be a cookie clearing issue and will see if there is an option to clear when members log off.

It looks awesome, that's one of the nicest rubber straps I have seen yet. Looks great on the Oceanaire.

Great looking strap AH!

@Barnbuilder..... It's very soft and flexible. You can easily pull the pleats flat with just hand pressure, unlike most pleated straps.

As far as the site goes, my problem is very specific and is still continuing. It's hard to explain, but I'll try. My last post was at 5:04. When I look at the main page members only portal, or the Members only page portal, I can see that other posts were made after my 5:04 post. By just watching and refreshing the portal, I could see that Noob posted after me at 5:13, then Foghorn, etc. However, if I actually view the thread itself, the last post was mine. I am unable to see additional posts in threads until at least a half hour has passed. This is happeneing with any thread I have posted in. Threads that I have not posted in, update normally.
Thanks.

I'll look into it more over the next day and see if I can find the problem.

. . .not generally a rubber guy myself. But I must say that I do like that one. Being that thick and having the sculpted edges, and the buckle is +one in the looks department. Much better than your run of the mill "rubba" . . . .

As far as having trouble attaching multiple photos to a post, how are you posting the pics? Are you using the IMG code from a photo hosting site?

Never seen a strap like that, but it's really awesome! 11mm thick, damn!

very cool choice, Mike!

Yes. Other forums I've belonged to would save the compose a post page as I went back and forth to photobucket copying additional pics. This one won't save for me and I don't know how to load multiple images from photobucket at one time. I can also use the "host an imagine" button available here, and get the photos directly from my pc, but I can't figure out how to post more than one with that method either. I'm a hot mess.

Thanks for helping.

AH, do you have 2 Browser pages open at once? You should have this Site and Photobucket open on separate tabs. Copy the Photobucket links from that tab and paste into the XMT tab. You can leave both open at once. I know this seems elementary, but didn't know for sure if you were aware of this.

Exactly...just go back and forth...copy out of photobucket and paste into the reply

I am pretty slow computer wise. I would always exit out of the forum, go to photobucket, copy, come back and paste. I had no idea about leaving two windows open at once. DUH!!!

Thanks fellas.

I've had a few issues, too. Like not seeing new posts in some threads, even though the home page says there are new posts. Also if I edit a post, the edit doesn't show up for a while. It seemed to have started the night the instant reply box was added.

I've noticed that some of Marks (andrema) posts have doubled, too.


Very macho strap, AH.

This strap looks ferocious AH !!! It's unique and it's just plain terrific too.
Changing straps seems to always change the theme of a watch. This strap
does that as well, but takes it up yet another level. With this strap, you might
find yourself or others staring at "it" just as much or more than the actual
watch itself ! Congratulations !..Sorry I don't know much about computers
and stuff. So I don't know what it could be really !..Keep us posted though !

Here is a side view....

amazing that nobody in the US has this awesome strap to sell!! Looks great AH!!

Thanks kid. This thing would look sick on your Kobold or U1. While super radical in design, it quickly grows on you. You end up staring at the strap more than the watch. The only downfall as I see it, is it stinks like natural rubber. Wish they would have vanilla-ized it. Must be a German thing.

Man, that side view shot looks great, I really like that strap.

WTF is it with all you guys sniffing your rubber straps??

NICE pictures AH !..From those angles you can really feel the
size and shape of this strap. I think a strap like this not only
looks mean, but helps the watch your wearing seem even
tougher also. The Oceanaire is now a Super Oceanaire !
This strap was a GREAT find..ENJOY !

I just thought I didn't like rubba I guess. I like that strap for sure. Great pick up!

It's a cool strap, Mike, but I still like the OEM best.
