The adjustable clasp seemed a bit gimmicky to me, but once I figured out how to adjust it, I found it very helpful to get the perfect fit. It is also such a beautiful mechanical design.
I only received the gator strap but added the rubber for a more casual look and to avoid moisture concerns. I’m impressed that JLC only charges $250 delivered despite the unique connection system. I was told all JLC rubber straps are the same price.
Finally, I was delighted to see that the power reserve arch is luminescent! The details just keep adding up on this model.
