Hi , I have read that there is nothing quite like the pliable, lint free, vanilla scented Isofrane ladder style dive strap, but it bugs me to the core to think of paying >$100 range for a rubber strap.

There used to be great alternatives like Raven, Armida, Cuda, Obris Morgan priced from $25-50 - but all seem as much unavailable as the Noob LMPO (which I head is coming back in late July 2015).

I've read well enuf to try to avoid PU or silicone as those are dust and lint magnets.

Surprisingly, even Aliexpress doesn't seem to have an Isofrane type of strap.

The best I could find was this - vulcanized rubber on ebay for $30 shipped from Portugal:

Any one else?

I was looking for a 22mm Isofrane ladder style for my V6F Omega 300 Master Coaxial for the summer.

Already settled for the 24mm Bonetto Cinturini 321 for my BPFF as I couldn't find a viable 24mm Isofrane rubber ladder style alternative for it (looks nice though...)

Get the Obris Morgan. I got mine a week ago for my Seiko 007 (so 22mm) in blue color for $18.90 so can confirm it was available and I'm 100% satisfied with it. Great strap for the money and while Isofrane is for sure the best one, can't be 6 times better than OM.

Was a dumbass and forgot my 300 master coaxial was 20mm.
Ordered an Obris Morgan.
Will see in 2 weeks how it looks and will post.

I feel I have tried every rubber strap on the planet. I love rubber straps because they are easy to clean and easy for me to adjust when my wrist shrinks and swells. Since buying my first Isofrane several years ago, there is no alternative. The Cuda strap that came with my Helson Shark Diver was not even comparable. I bought a Breitling SOSF and purchased an OEM rubber for it and I prefer to wear an Isofrane on it. > $100 is a lot to pay for a rubber strap, but, I have always gotten close to the money back when I sell a watch or sell the strap alone.

Is there any alternative to Isofrane availible in 24mm?

Just bought a Omega Plofprof 1200 with the black rubber strap and would like to have a Orange strap on it.

Or is it possible to buy just the rep. orange rubber strap somewhere?
