Guys,
How close is a rep strap on ZF to the gen? Worth buying original strap, any significant difference?
Thanks!

It feels totally different. However doesn't look that much different

Thank you, Jack. As a Blancpain Pro would you advise to buy a gen strap (feel for me is more important that the look). Is it interchangeable with the rep one without any modification?
Thanks again!

If you're going gen sailcloth it feels nicer no doubt. But the longer you wear your rep or Brady strap the better it gets also. Never gen like but not leaps and bounds worse with time. Just out of the box it sucks.

If you're thinking leather than yea, the gen leather is unreal. Softest I've ever worn. Better than the Patek or IWC gen straps I've worn

And totally interchangeable. If going leather get a 22mm. Won't notice a real difference but if you can find a 23 it's ideal
