I ordered two FKM straps from here, I love 'em: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005008435672599.html
awesome, how is the color on the red and orange vs gen? I'm finding most of these cheaper straps are bright red and bright orange exacerbated by a partially translucent silicon (giving that white halo/powder effect) making them look nothing like their gen versions.

I can vouch for the orange one I got from Penny, good colour and feels comfy on
I just received this black FKM strap today. It looks pretty decent.
Seems like it might be the same "Shop1103308561 Store" store from earlier, just renamed.
Unfortunately, I only ordered white and olive, so I cannot comment on the bright colors. At least, the olive one doesn’t give the impression you described. As the other posters said, it might actually be the old shop under a new name.
makes sense, not a problem. I'm going to order the orange and red, and will report back once I get them. do you mind showing us pics of the white and green to get a gauge of color/quality? thank you!

Sorry I kept you waiting. I forgot to turn on e-mail notifications. Here a some pictures. I'm not the greatest photographer, sorry 'bout that. The straps are nice and soft and have a matte finish. The have collected a bit of lint sitting in my strap organizer, but that's easily wiped off. So they are not sticky or something.
Hope this helps!
very nice bro, thank you. I ordered the red and orange from the same link/seller you shared, after getting pictures from the seller. they look legit, so I will post pics when I get them. I also ordered the metal panerai bracelet just to see what it would be like with low expectations from the same seller. will share pics once they come in. I may go back and order the white too based on your pictures.Sorry I kept you waiting. I forgot to turn on e-mail notifications. Here a some pictures.

so got my package, took about a week to get here from China to the USA. Overall: very impressed with the red and orange straps. They came with tools, THE TUBES (amazing btw), and were packaged well. Very quick shipping.
here they are next to a fresh VSF 1226. The VSF strap has a tad stickier feel, and is also just a tad thicker than the AiX straps. The VSF feels a little more robust but I'll couch that as the gold standard for rep that I'm aware of. for $25 the rubber straps do well, and appear to be the appropriate color tones.
The metal strap is nice, and for $15 I would buy it again (same seller). it's probably right above raffles quality so a good price for what you get IMO. Thanks for the rec @corkone ; this is exactly what I was looking for!

also, just for giggles, I took pics of the good straps next to the cheapo $7 ones I got on AliX previously...the cheapo ones were advertised as "soft silicon..." and are washed out colors (look like they are translucent or have white powder all over them. was not happy with these at all. the irony is the advert on these had pics of gen rubber straps LOL and this is what I ended up with:
(the cheapo straps have the buckles on them)
