AP RO (15400 / 15500) strap recommendations

[Procurator]

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.

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

I know I know, its awful, I was opposed to it for a long time, but I want to try, seeing how much I like switching rubbers on the Diver. Dont kill me.

Respectfully I disagree

@Procurator on rubber it gives a whole different look and feel, almost like having a brand new watch

@SMP_lover made this one for me some time back

@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…..

I cannot deny nor confirm...
I'm a hoarder and someday want to try that one, too

 

[Procurator]

Don't worry mate, Ill squirrel it somewhere else

I used these DHG sellers : highqualitywatch007 and watches_watch. Not sure they have this product but you can ask them...

Love rubber on my offshore, but metal is too nice on the standard RO. Horus makes some solid straps!
