RM027 WITH ULTRA LIGHT STRAP......
I have to say I love it now. It's all in the details. With the rubber it just didn't feel special enough.
However, I'm not convonced that it makes the watch weigh in at 20 grams as quoted or even 22 grams! Still love it though.
It has an AP CW1 feel about it now. Hope the strap lasts longer than theirs though!

Thanks for the posting pics of the RM27 strap
Guess not much you can do with a light weight strap except velcro. RM should have made a carbon fiber buckle Cheers, Anthony
I agree...
It's strange because the tang buckle on the rubber is carbon but this 'slider' on this is just plastic. I'm also not crazy about the finish of the strap end as it isn't stitched but just cut. Still prefer this to the rubber though.
That does look like the strap attached to Nadal's RM027,
but may be Nadal's is made of lighter material. The velcro was so that Nadal could adjust the watch to exactly how he wants it during a match if necessary. While the carbon fibre buckle is a cracking idea, the velcro was a necessity! Thanks for posting an...

let's be honest. We don't wear watches to look good, nor do we wear them to show off as most people couldn't differentiate between a 27 and a Nike watch! We wear them because of the way they make US feel and RM gives me a buzz. It's just a pity for my ban...
