Hey folks,

so I've been looking for the longest time for good quality sources of classic RO rubber straps, but I can't seem to be able to move from my current spot.

Theres couple of options I know about, but Im hoping the collective brain trust can broaden my horizons on this topic.
1) Horus
2) RubberB
3) GEN AP
4) eBay
5) Ali

Unfortunately neither TempoMat, nor Midas have a 41mm option and honestly rather than giving 300 bucks to RubberB, Id just go to an AP boutique and buy a GEN strap.

Ali and eBay are hit n miss, so I'd appreciate any and all experience with sellers on there and the quality of their offering.

Any suggestions welcome and highly appreciated.

Thanks Thank You GIF by BLKBOK

There's various on Etsy. Prob hit and miss like ebay. I can't vouch for quality but I'd imagine you get what you pay for. At $30 it's worth a nibble?

Yeah, Etsy doesn't have the best reputation for quality and listing accuracy.. But I'll have a look, thanks for the recommendation!

So sorry Procurator, but i cant support you in this task, as putting rubber on a 15400/15500 is pure Häresie (heresy?), and God will punish you for that ;)

@g00n I know right! Where did u get the rubber and the endlinks?

@BMW760 It looks wonderful, but I do need it to handle water, so leather is out of the question, unfortunately. :(

So I got the rubber and endlinks from @Ah0rsey , unfortunately I don’t have them anymore as @Feefo is now the proud owner. If he is not using, maybe you can pry it away from him;)

@BMW760 is rapidly becoming my favourite wrist with all the APs that keep showing up on it…..
