TIMEWHEEL 20mm Black Rubber Watch Band Strap Compatible with Citizen Promaster

Nice watch band.

I recently dug up my 20 year old Citizen Aqualand Pro Diver out of the moth balls and had the batteries replaced. The band was not original and I wanted one for replacement (watch was kinda pricey back in '94). This one might be actually better than the original (I had two and they eventually fell apart). Fits the casing like a champ. Very comfortable, looks nice. I don't know what "Italian Rubber" means, but I have a Seiko Dive watch and this band is higher quality. I'm pleased with my purchase. I also like the two stainless steel strap holders. Very nice. You can't go wrong.

Nice band, fits well, looks great, works great, comfortable just wish I had realized the NDL table was in meters.

i have been looking for a replacement strap for the Seiko Solar diver i won playing fantasy football last season, as the Seiko Z20 is not high on my list of all time great straps. when i read "Italian Rubber" in description i saw that as the code words for a particular type of rubber used by a well known Italian strap manufacturer (hint: BC) and has a vanilla scent to it. it is NOT that rubber. it is most definitely a soft touch TPU material which is stiffer than natural rubber. it feels exactly like the strap that came with the Seiko SBBN017 "Tuna" (a $900+ watch) and that is a very good thing. i have "boiled" my strap to give it a permanent curve and enhancing fit- place the strap inside a coffee mug with the outside of the strap against the inside of the mug walls (curving the strap) and pour hot, NOT boiling, water into the cup. let it sit for 5 mins and then pour out the water. your strap will now have a nice, comfortable, permanent curve without damaging or changing the feel of the strap.

It looks like the original band. I rolled it up and put in into 190 degree water for a few minutes, then let it cool. It went from flat to curved, which improved the fit.

Arrived quickly. Good price. Out of the 50+ rubber or hybrid rubber straps I own, this is likely the most uncomfortable strap I have ever worn. The last stay is very tight and I have to really struggle to the band through it. It pulls my arm hair something fierce (None of my other straps do this). It looks good but (for me) it is incredibly uncomfortable.

This watchband appears to be as good as the original Citizen band it replaces! It is almost identical to the original. I'm going to buy another for a spare! I've had the Citizen Hyper aqualand for about 15 years now and this is the third time replacing the band. one local jewelry store used to carry them, but no more. They can order one for about $40.00. this one is a steel at $15.00+$4.00 shipping! Update 9/25/2012! I bought this band on 12/10/2010 and as of today the dive limits markings still show no sign of wear. They are as bright as the day I received it! The band itself does not appear to show any wear either! The original Citizen bands would begin to show wear on the part of the band that meets the buckle in the form of a line across the band after about a year. I've had this band on my watch (that I wear everyday) for over a year and ten months and there is no visible wear! This is a great watch band especially for the price! If this band suits your needs you will not be disappointed!

This will be my 3rd band for my promaster in 5 years rubber on this brand seems to be more silicone like but of good quality. Time will tell if the extra flexible will be better or worse long term. I recommend using factory spring pins, on this one and other aftermarket bands they send spring pins that do not fit snugly in the band.
