I'm not having a go mate. You bought a less than perfect watch by your own admission.
Now you have to source a strap. All I'm saying is, you could of got a brand new watch from Reg, delivered next day without the aggravation.
Fair enough, I know what you're saying.
I don't think it gonna be massively hard to get one or so expensive that I will wish I bought a new watch instead.
I'm just putting my feelers out as to whether I get one from a TD or a member on forum.
'Gran' has a rubber strap he's not using as he's gone to leather. I was just thinking, the rubber strap has a trait of perishing over time and should I go for another one or should I look at leather myself.
As many forum members like myself probably have seen. Narikka is, or at least was, offering GTXL's on leather and they looked pretty nice! As a result a few have changed to leather and their rubber straps are going begging. This topic was just to see if they wanted to pass those straps on.
If I'm honest I think I'll probably go rubber as I don't have any rubber strapped watches. If I can't find one at the right price I'll just wait I think until I can either afford it or one comes up at the right price! I'm in no rush and on a tight budget so that's pretty much why I went for M2M sales instead of the TD route as it will still work out cheaper.
