Hi, I’m wondering if anybody tried to fit a rubber band on the No Time to Die.
It’s my understanding that the position of the holes are different from the regular SMP 300m, so the Omega rubber band might not work.
I will check with my OB to see if they can make a try, and will post an update.
In the meantime I looked at some products, some of the bands from Barton (straight ends) should work, although I don’t really like them.
Zealande rubber bands could work as well, maybe with a curved spring bar.
Do you guys have any experience with this?
Anybody tried on any curved end bands on a NTTD?
Thanks

Here's the Zealande. Not quite perfect.

thanks for sharing! Not perfect but still nice
Do you feel it unstable?
Could you tell me which spring bar are you using?
Thanks again

It is just the OEM spring bar. A curved spring bar might help?
It is not unstable. Feels good.

thanks again for all the info.
I’ve tried to fit the SMP omega rubber band, but of course it doesn’t work.
I’m really considering getting the Zealande, although the fit in not perfect.
Does the pin hole on the Zealande have more room/flexibility so that you could make them fit on your NTTD?
I thought the Zealande would have been pretty similar to the Omega SMP rubber in terms of lug position, but I guess that’s not the case.

There’s a fella on TRF who has a photo thread with all sorts of straps on this. Some of them look great. Worth a look.

I would expect a tropic type rubber would look terrific on this

Thanks! I believe I might have seen that, but I will check it out.
I think the Zealande bands are the best option so far. I’m just trying to understand if I will be able to fit it or if I will have to do any mods.

Gee that’s a nice looking watch. I know I’ve seen it before you took a nice picture of it. I’m pretty sure on my drive this am they mentioned that the scheduled release date was pushed back again.

TRF is the Rolex forums. I can’t actually find the thread but I’m sure you can search through. There are also a good number of pics on Instagram

For a Rolex I like the rubber straps that fit right up against the case so there's no gap. However, on my Seamaster 300m I find that a straight end rubber strap looks good. It's because the holes are are higher on the Omega so there isn't a large gap with straight end straps.

There is a dude on the Reddit Omega forum that posted pics using the dark brown leather Omega nato strap. Looked very nice.
