Rubber strap and bracelet

[omegagmt]

I still haven't received my rubber strap from singapore. I checked the tracking # on usps.com and it says that it left singapore on the 7th of this month. It's been 14 days and the website still says that it left on feb 7th. Does anyone know if it stops off at another country before it comes to the US? I wonder if CNY backed up all the mail.

Finally got the rubber strap and it doesn't fit my gen seamaster. It does fit my rep PO though. It's really comfortable. I put the SS bracelet back on the gen. I'll probably end up getting a rubber strap from ofrei.com. I know it's $200, but should fit.

How's the fit on your PO? Did you end up bending the spring bars? The fit on my pumpkin PO is horrible...it eats through spring bars like they're going out of style. I tried to trim the strap to move the holes closer to some success, but now I get that horrid gap between the strap and the case.

I might pick a black ebay one up for my black PO coming in...

I am having a similar problem... I got half of the strap on by slightly bending the spring bar, but haven't had much luck with the other side.

Damn, that guy on eBay has nothing listed for now. That strap is worth it though, guys?

I had no trouble at all. Mine went on easy as pie. Great strap too... Worth every penny of the $35...

Hey, just wanted to let you know that he has the strap available again:

[ehfour]

ordered one, just to have a look

Will post some on my GEN PO

To others that own this, is it a lint magnet?

 

[Om3ga_guy]

Ehfour, the black 20mm rep strap I bought from you recently fit perfectly. I had to bend the spring bars about a millimeter and it snapped in beautifully. No problems with lint and the dry font went away after I started showering with it...

Looks awesome.

 

[ehfour]

Is it th same strap?

I realized after selling you mine, that I missed having the rubber...LOL

 

[markh]

That's the same strap I bought and it's great. No lint issues whatsoever...

It is meant for the 2254.50 but should work

I bought one of those as well. It was pretty good quality and looks pretty nice, especially for the price. it was kind of a pain to get on.

 

[Q5?]

I might just use it on my Gen SMP. The Gen PO rubber has smaller buckle holes.

 

[ehfour]

Any suggestions for spring bars?

Dont want to wreck the Omega $13 ones

 

[RobbDizzle]

The differences in PO springbar mounting points/case part #'s makes my head spin

It does not have Planet Ocean on the inside of the strap but looks/fee;s Gen. Here is a pic of it attached to my FrPO

Nice one, Q5?. I ordered the last one from the same ebay seller from Singapore. Just got another rubber strap on ebay from a place in Texas but this strap has no logos or any printing - just a plain strap. I see what you guys mean about being a dust magnet! This strap fits both my PO and this older style SMP below. Any hints on what to do to keep the dust off? Wax it or oil it perhaps?

 

[Q5?]

I ordered a second strap as a backup. It was different than my first one. The strap keepers were too wide. I'll post pics soon.
