Not stitched leather? Looks nice, what model do you have it on?

HAHA the never ending saga of a Super UPO Franken. Rubber is Gen. and I really like the feel. The Clasp was offered to me from a US dealer which surprised the Shat out of me and it is Gen quality and specs.

I'm starting to like the rubber on the UPO. Looks nice.

Hey there are a bunch on strap central. You gotta try it on rubber.

Wrist shot. $1200 into this project already. Makes for a nice bracelet!

I've got 2 gen rubbers. The orange has a generic clasp I bought from eBay for $45, and a white stitch that has a gen deployment. I wear these 2 UPOs about 80% of the time because they are so comfortable!

Thanks for a sharing!! I do not have a full watch assembled yet, but it is so pliable it is going to feel like there is nothing in place when worn. The length of the strap is very long so can fit any size wrist. Omega got this one right.

The clasp I picked up for 78 USD which I think is worth it for sure.

Hey Surf, does your supplier have smaller 18mm deploy clasps?

I love the look of the curved rubber on the PO's. the bracelet can get boring and still can't get the perfect fit even with two half links.

Thanks

This is gen rubber. The deployment clasp is 18mm and rep, but not China made crap. Very tight and perfect.

UPDATE:
Gen Crown and Tube
Gen Movement
Gen Caseback
Gen Dial
MISSING: Gen. Hands and Xtal on order from Ofrie.

The insert was shaved down using a high grade file and took me about 30 mins. I was surprised how easy this mod was. It actually snapped in Rep bezel assembly, but I affixed it with glue to be safe. Some pics.

The rubber looks great!

Does anyone know what size strap the Noob liquid metal planet Ocean 42mm uses? I'd like to find a leather or rubber strap to replace the metal strap. Also if anyone can point me to anyplace that sells them I would much appreciate it. Would like to find rep OMega if possible but if they don't exist just a nice leather strap. Thanks for any help!
