I recently got a 5th gen 42mm PO and I want to get a black rubber strap (preferably with the omega logo on the trap and buckle)

Idid a search and couldn't find much from the TD here but I did come across

http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/...y-buyer-105783?t=105783&highlight=omega+strap

Which one of the TD has the better version?

also on ebay there is usually 2 version of the rubber strap, one is normal and the other one is silicon
What is the difference? Which one would you guys recommend?
Thanks

Go Gen. All of those suck. lol If you have to go with an ebay one, send Q5? a PM for the ebay seller. I don't know how bad/good those Wholesale outlet straps are in silicone but if they fit, they will be really soft. The gen is not soft.

Yes they are expensive but you can sell them as used later. Who knows, you might end buying the gen watch to match the strap. Lol

Use caution there however. It might cost you 30-40 bux just for the keepers. Add your time and energy spent....

R2 did point out that the eBay one is much taller than the Gen between the lugs.

I'll post both in a moment......

I see, But I only wanted the rubber strap because I wanted to try it out, dont wana

spend 200+.

If I dont go for the omega strap rep but just a general 20mm rubber strap

Is there a particular ones you would recommend? I go for comfort more than style I'd say.

Try out the silicone one from Wholesale outlet and let us know how it feels. Contribute your own review of sorts.

So I did a little search on ebay, came up with these 3

I like the black genuine rubber (whatever that mean) with orange stitching since it will fit my PO very well

And then there is these 2 silicon rubber one, one is 4mm thickness and the other is 2.5mm thickness.

To owners with rubber strap, which thickness do you prefer and why? I am only gona get one of them so any owners opinion is much appreciated!

I'd pass on all three.

Get a rep one from Narikaa.
