Here is a pic.

1st strap is on the left.

The 2nd one seems to be using strap keepers meant for the 22mm PO strap. They are too wide for the little notches next to the buckle. :(

I plan on ordering from Otto Frei:

Hi, i was wondering if i could get a bit of advice please, i emailed the guy in Singapore selling this rubber strap http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-Omega-...&ps=63&clkid=2349770166089712224#ht_500wt_922 and he said it was for the Seamaster planet Ocean only, he said it will NOT fit my rep seamaster professional chronometer (not planet ocean but chrono). I have measured mine and strap size is 20mm. I would love to replace my SS strap for a rubber one that fits correctly

Thanks
Bub

Get it. I used it on my PO, SMP (rep and Gen) and even my SD. [BLINK]0[/BLINK].o

I highly recommend the Gen keepers and buckle.

Thanks but this is the reply I got from him in regards to whether the rubber strap will fit my seamaster professional chronometer (not Seamaster) but will order thanks Q5

'The strap's hole and the watch lug's hole may not be in line. If that is the case, you may need to make the strap's hole bigger.'

Q5, I have just ordered the same rubber strap.

I am going to try to put it on my v5 PO and wondered if you think it would fit? I think you said that your PO was 4G. Are the cases, and lug pinholes in the same position on both versions?

Not sure. You can always bend one side of your spring bar to make it fit I suppose. :shlug:

This is really just to let anyone with a v5 PO know that this rubber rep strap will fit perfectly with no bending of springbars required. And it is a nice snug fit to the body of the watch. I am delighted.

Next on the shopping list is a gen buckle as per Q5.

I just bought gen 2264.50 without the bracelet.. Now is there a decent rep bracelet available?

EDIT: could this be any good? They also have rubber straps, any experience on them?
