    Hi All,

    I need advice regarding a new strap for my 2005 Aqua Terra 36mm. Went into the Omega boutique in London (near Hyde Park and tried on some leather straps, but i think i want to get a rubber strap as it will be my daily beater.

    I have always wanted the 98000085 strap (Early Planet ocean pin strap). However this strap is 20mm.

    Has anyone tried this strap on this watch ? Would it fit ?

    Spoke with the swatch group and they advised against it, but i wanted to see if anyone else has tried it.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Can't speak from exact experience, but my guess is that it wouldn't work that well. Omega rubber straps are pretty thick and stiff and my guess is that you would have a hard time getting it in between the lugs. If you like natos, I highly recommend getting a 19mm nato for the summer. It is pretty much the only thing I wear on my 36mm Railmaster with the same 19mm lug width. Good luck!

    Thanks for the reply - i thought this might be the case.

    Rubber B have new 19mm straps coming out in the next few months so i might hold of until then.

    Thanks!
