    Hi all !
    I have happily worn my Speedy FOIS for the last year, but would have loved to find some Rubber option for it, in 19mm lug width.
    I have seen the older thread on the strap options for the FOIS but didn't really find some good options on there.

    I have found that one for the moment: https://www.esprit-nato.com/en/esse...lar_l/101-width_lug_buckle-20_mm_buckle_18_mm
    And would be happy to hear any thoughts on this / Any alternative you know ?

    Thanks all !

    Hello,

    This is a tricky size to source if you don't want to go to Etzy or AliExpress.
    I could find a replacement leather for my CK2998 and my FOIS at Watch Band Center (Rios brand).
    I could fitler one 19mm rubber there : https://www.watch-band-center.com/watchstrap-p31107h307s321-Watch-strap-Ebikon-1.html

    I also could source a nice sailcloth for the FOIS at ArtemStraps. (But they don't do rubber)

    Well-known and appreciated Uncle Seiko also has a few options for what you seek : https://www.uncleseiko.com/collections/standard-rubber-straps

    Hope that helps

    Uncle Seiko has some, as well as other places. I've found them in the past using google but I don't have them in front of me.

    The Uncle Seiko Tropic Rubber strap in 19mm looks like a great option. Matches the vintage look of the FOIS. They only ecently added this, I think — I was looking for one several years ago and couldn’t find one. Might have to pull the trigger on one for my FOIS.

    I have fit 20mm Hirsch Robby straps on my FOIS in the past — it’s a tight squeeze, but doable. But the 19mm looks like a better option.

    I went sailcloth for my FOIS. I think rubebr is better for divers, but not sure how it would render on a FOIS

    The 40mm Speedmaster Racing rubber strap fits the FOIS. You'll need to purchase the 18mm deployant clasp to go with it. The strap will have an integrated look to it.
