Well they are Coming...
Supposedly soon,
Straps are made, and the D6 Adaptors are made, they will ship after the first bach of D9 Adaptors are done as well.
My problem is that since we are a company od two people, it's not like we could afford to start with a huge order, and unless you order about 500,000 Pieces, your only small fry and dont matter to the companies that can do them.
If you want a pair, just send me a PM or an E-Mail, the address is above.
Cheers
(they should all be ready in a few weeks to a month, so I am told)

I dunno if anyone is still interested, but I have the Adapters for the Suunto D6's ready to ship.
Package will include the two 316 Stainless adapters, 4 spring bars (watch pins) as well as a really heavy duty NATO type watch strap.
Both
Orange and Black are available right now, later who knows...
Cost - $85.00 USD, and that will include shipping to anywhere reasonable. (I decide where is reasonable... nothing to McMurdo Base etc)
Payment to be by PayPal, or Bank transfer
Anyone interested?
Here's a couple of Pic's, not great cause they are from my phone, if you want better ones E-mail me "spherediving (at) gmail.com"

I'm still interested, but it's the D9 that I have.
And never mind the pic quality, they look good even coming from a cellphone camera.
Looks like something Suunto should have made from the beginning.

If you can wedge a 1/8" bungee between the pin and the computer you can improvise a bungee mount, much as I did for the Galileo Sol. You'll need a small tube on the pin to keep the bungee from sliding sideways on the pin.

Looks great Duke. Now where are those D9 adaptors 
.
.I have a D9 w/the titanium strap that I got cheap and want to switch over to a more adjustable strap also...I have an Atom 2.0 that I use w/one of their velcro straps and it works well.....Also have a Vytec DS w/a wrist-bungee mount from DSS that really works well...Seems like anything but the original straps on Sunnto's computers are better [Get the hint Sunnto ??...Opportunity is knocking !!!!].........Make sure you get Patent Pending on your idea...Corps. are not above stealing other's ideas.....Please let me/all of us know when those straps are ready...I'll ck your site too.....
Thats a very nice product , kudos for making it a reality
Length of strap ? .... may want a long one for a drysuit
Length of strap ? .... may want a long one for a drysuit
Strap length is 12 Inches / 30 CM, but if there is any interest I can get them to make anything you want.
The straps are wicked, I'll post some pics tonight,
The webbing is the heaviest I have seen so far, in fact getting them on the adaptors it's a bugger because we used what a normal Zulu for the measurements, these ones are double the thickness.
We have already revised the D9's so they fit the strap a little looser.
Also, unlike one I had that started to unravel during a dive, these are lock stitched and glued.
Straps will sell for 26 USD, for one shipped anywhere (pretty much) get a second one, and its 46 USD etc, you wont have to pay more shipping unless its gets over 5 straps in total.
I'm trying to make a deal with my mate that owns "Suppa Parts" he has a nice mesh bracelet that would look good on the Suunto's too
Check them out at his web page
Just a Side note,
The D9;s should be done sometime next month, and they are a few bucks more because they are Titanium, and by a few bucks I mean just that, not a lot more.
The same pricing etc will be for those, the total price will include international shipping (air freight - registered mail), and you will have three options, Adapters alone, or with either a Black or Orange strap.
we are trying to work it out so that there is no hidden costs, I hate buying something, figuring a price, then finding out Shipping will kill me. or that this or that costs me more...
Cheers

The mesh strap does look like it would be a good match.
Now I'm wondering about the length while wearing a drysuit. 12" doesn't mean much to me, not sure of the way the strap runs.
Either way, I'm in for a black one (D9). But yet the orange also looks good in the picture.
