At last! The 305 has finally arrived. Took a 200 mile round trip to collect, well worth it as it is absolutely fantastic. Wears just the same as the 312, also got a leather strap thrown in. Will put some more pics up when I'm not so tired!.

Also tried this while I was there, 292

Afternoon walk at rest bay, Porthcawl with my latest addition.

nice sub simon!

Yes - Very nice. I was actually admiring the OEM Rubber that it comes with. That rubber strap is really growing on me.

Thanks for the comments guys , can't see my other pams having any wrist time for a while!.

Re the strap, it is really nice and comfy on the wrist, the grooves at the top bend to the natural curve of the wrist and stops it pulling on the hairs which I find the smooth rubber does on the other straps. Also loving the second strap, that buckle is mahoosive , I'm reluctant to wear it as I don't want to get any marks on it .

wats the thickness of the rubber strap at the buckle end? maybe consider an aftermarket deployment buckle? not the oem which requires a bigger slot (at the buckle hold area in the middle) and thinner strap end, but an aftermarket one which is installed using a spring bar.
