I am planning to get a PO 42mm (still deciding against the V5PO or the ceramic bezel PO, cause there is tons of info to filter to see which is a better /accurate looking REP)

Anyway what i want to ask, does any of this 2 types can fit with the new GEN leather strap and gen buckle deployant? Planning to get a REP that looks almost as accurate as the GEN and then swap the straps out with a gen leather straps.

Also If i am fitting the GEN strap to the rep, do I need to get a GEN springbar as well or it can be interchangable with the REP ones?

hoping to get a strap like this below :p

Just make sure you get the 20mm strap not the 22mm.

They are very expensive though for what they are. The clasp alone is a lot of money.

It will fit though and the end result will be nice.

Gen springebars are not required, but are advised.

that one it's the Omega rubber version. Hirsch have the Medici model in calf, however it's not so beautifull like that one.

But if I may, do the gen Omega strap fit in a rep?


My best regards,

great, got it, thanks so my judgement should be as follow right?

42mm = 20mm strap
45mm = 22mm strap

maybe i should buy original spring bars just incase :)
