Hi all,

I cant seem to find any nice rubber strap offerings from omega for the 39.5 planet ocean. I REALLY like the orange/black variant that seems widely available for the larger versions as below.

I would particularly like them with a curved end. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Shaun

Thabks for your reply.

I am pretty sure the 39.5 PO has a lug width of 19mm..... hence I am struggling to find anything nice for rubber

You can squeeze in a 20mm strap. I'm doing this with my PO 39.5.

Oh really? Do you have any pictures of how it looks please? It will annoy me if it's too stiff or looks crammed.

Thanks

Thanks!

How does the strap move? Is it restricted or anything?

It is restricted but it moves just fine in a range from totally flat to the angle that is comfortable for me when wearing on my wrist.

Ah ok thanks. I guess it kinda depends on the strap in question.

I am lookijg at a Hitsch robby (rubber) strap so I am considering sjaving a tiny slither off either side to make it close to a 19mm as possible.

I may well regret it if it goes wrong
