Does anyone have an opinion on the gen rubber strap? I've never had something like that and I'm wondering if it is comfortable for daily use?

I have the original rubber with tang buckle (Omega part)and black w/ white stitch that uses the deployant clasp(Omega part#98000297).

Both are very nice and feel good. I recommend both.

Rubber is a great daily wear option. I prefer it over the SS for daily wear.

The above PO is a Franken 5GPO that Katt and R2D4 created. It is the best one yet!

This one tapers to 18mm at the clasp. The first one I posted is 20mm all the way around.

Thanks. Yeah the a beautiful PO. I'm getting one soon and already planning on changing the dial to the orange numbers. If love to do the pearl but I don't think I can trust myself modding it.

Start looking for a pearl/insert on eBay. If you change your mind, you can always sell it here for what you paid. Plenty of us silly heads around who will buy it. :lol:

Good idea. Are the rep rubber straps any good or should I just stick to the gen ones on eBay?

The only rep rubber out there is the all black one shown above.

I recommend just going Gen. You won't loose much if you flip it.

REP rubber sets it apart from the pack - great clean sexy option.

I have the rubber B on my LV - get great comments about it bcos of the contrast between the green and black strap.
