New FKM (allegedly) strap dealer on Ali

[jj69]

There's a new seller offering 22mm and 24mm Breitling FKM straps for just $10 ($12 with buckle). I for one am VERY SKEPTIKAL that the straps are really FKM. First, the price is too low. Second, there has never been a rep 24mm strap in FKM offered by any dealer. If you want to investigate, the seller's store name is Yonghao Watchband Store.

I already sent a Message with specific questions. I asked for the buckle size on the 24mm version. If it's 22mm, that's a dead giveaway that it's a cheap silicone rep strap (most of them use a "fantasy" 22mm buckle on the 24mm strap.

I messaged the seller. They claim it is FKM rubber. They said it total length is 205mm, which is not consistent with the 215 claimed in their photos. So I asked for a photo and what I got is below. This is clearly NOT FKM. Looks like plastic. Seller is either clueless, or a scammer. Obviously using the photos from the FMK sellers and providing buyers with a cheap strap. Buyer beware!

Looks like the cheap straps that come with the aliexpress Endurance Pros which are plastic and unwearable. Sure doesn't look like the pictures which are the same pictures of the FKM straps from other sellers like you said. Very scammy.
