Sure mate but measure if it will be enough for your wrist, it is short strap, if its too short you have other similar items but bottom part is longer and cant be shorten

For me, there's nothing more comfortable than a rubber strap. Curved ends on that strap make it look clean and nice. Good job.

Nearer than you think
Buddy of mine owns 2 gen DateJusts, gen Grand Seiko, all gold gen Carl Bucherer and a gen Omega Seamaster Pro Diver. Drives around in a 2020 Honda Accord. Different priorities.

The point, which was clearly missed, is that you have to play the part if you want to pass it as gen, a full gold 120k daytona would not pass as gen if worn by a 22 yo who works at the minimum wage (just an example and with all due respect).

You are the main tell of your reps.

By the way, all those gens are more or less there with the worth of the market price of a steel daytona lol

I didn't miss the point at all. If I see man in his 50s or 60s, neatly dressed, sporting a SS Daytona or Sub or whatever driving around in a Honda or Toyota won't make me think that the watch is most definitely a rep.

HOWEVER.... I must say that since being exposed to the rep world I have become alot more skeptical about whether someone is truly wearing a gen regardless of age, the clothes they're wearing or the car they drive.

If you're buying a gen Rolex to be kept in a safe for that special occasion that happens once or twice a year then you should've saved your money and bought something else.

This is the same BS I've heard all my life but some people don't understand there's life outside this Idea. For example, do you know in Asia or countries like India how much of difference is between regular wear and party wear. Regular wear shirt cost like $10 to $50. Party wear around $500. Regular wear jewelry costs around $2k but party wear costs around $50k and Regular wear watch costs around $2-3k but party wear costs around$10k. Those party wear are worn only 5-10 times in a year and they're the way it is. You can't wear that much high priced jewelry on daily basis. Any Rolex and especially gold Rolex falls into that category. It's not a daily wear item for relative poor country unless you are celebrity.

For those who wonders, exact same fit on lugs like genuine rubber b, recessed on top and flush with lugs on the edges of the lugs

They look class.
Ordering both red and black now bro, thank you for the link :thumbsup:

And two more things for letting you know
dont try to install straps with the your noob,clean,arf springbars because they are to solid and it wont enter the lug holes and wont fit, funny thing is that fits perfectly with lower quality springbars that you get along with rubber straps, fits perfectly tight and there is no play between lugs
another thing, i struggled to take out the pins after because also our pins are high quality and they are little too thick for strap holes so first try to stretch holes a bit with something thicker than pins for better fit inside strap holes
this strap holes on pictures
btw you can see on picture how finished are edges of the strap, im really impressed how it feels and looks

personally i would wait for a new batch with updated subdials. the dial print etc is so good that it’s comparable to gen for a fraction

Sorry, got a tough time following here. Batch from which manufacturer? Clean?
