Curved end Straps?

[mclarendude]

Hey Gents:

I've been itching to get my PO a curved end leather or rubber strap to have a little change...

I'm not currently able to get the Gen one from Ofrei for $218.

And I'd like something like this here

It can be either that rubber or the a leather one....

And I'd like to be able to fit the Omega deployment buckle to it...

Any suggestions or pointers?

Thanks!

Black with orange stitching is beautiful!

Get a Hirsch Medici leather. They fit the POs perfectly. I'm after a black one with red stitching myself

You can get a rep strap from a TD if you want the proper look. I assume you're looking for a 42mm PO from your pics. I've heard the following rumors:

Orange leather is nice quality, better than most rep leather.
Black leather with black stitching is also nice quality, better than most rep leather.
Black leather with orange stitching is low quality, about on par with most rep straps.

If you want the black/orange combo, go with the black/black and try your hand at re-stitching with orange thread.

Where can the rep straps be bought? The only ones I can find are on Joshs website and are about $80 plus shipping.

You might have to email or PM a TD for it. I purchased a black/black leather with rep omega deployant clasp for a 42mm PO for $45 plus shipping. I bundled it with a watch, so shipping wasn't an issue.

Hmm... the Medici is not that bad.... I might have to talk to a TD about the Orange leather strap with curved ends...

Thanks guys!

I'm in Conus, but this seems to be a reliable source.
