Hey OF people! I am looking for a good quality rubber band. I really like Everest bands, but I don't know if they will fit on my seamaster. They really only talk about their Rolex love. If anyone has any recommendations for a good rubber/silicone band I'd also take that. Thanks for reading Cheers
I'm looking as well so will share any good info I find. So far I'm stalled, looking for 21mm lug on a Seamaster GMT Chronograph.
Top of my pick https://www.watchgecko.com/zuludiver-300-italian-rubber-watch-strap Or these are quite good https://www.watchgecko.com/zuludiver-285-italian-rubber-divers-watch-strap
I purchased the original Omega rubber strap two weeks ago and i am very happy with the comfort and quality. Its not the cheapest strap, but i have absolutely zero regrets buying! It is a rather tight fit, and is possible that will not fit to every model, so best chance if you could find an AD and ask if they can fit it on your watch. Thats what i did.
Just waiting on delivery of a new Diver 300M C0-Axial GMT Chronograph. Lug width is 21mm, unfortunately not a common one. I've been reading info on forums and I might have to consider trying a 22mm band. The band I really want is one seen on the Aqua Terra GMT World Timer https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-...ronometer-gmt-worldtimer-43-mm-22012432203001 with a deployment clasp! I just haven't found out how to order one.
I wear my SMP 2254.50 on a RubberB red VulChromatic pin buckle designed for the Rolex Explorer II 40mm. To fit the strap you do need some skinny springbars as the hole in the strap does not perfectly lines up with the lugholes. This strap also fits my Railmaster 2803.52 perfectly and can be fitted with a couple of 2mm Rolex springbars. I have a green VulChromatic pin buckle on the Railmaster. On both straps I removed the pin buckle and fitted a butterfly deployant clasp from Bob Davis.
Thanks for pitching in with suggestions. I just received word back from our Canadian Distributor. Unfortunately, there are no rubber straps available for the watch model 212.30.44.52.03.001, and the ones you chose {Aqua Terra 150M Co-Axial Master Chronometer GMT Worldtimer 220.12.43.22.03.001} are only integrated to their own watch models. We can’t use it for other models. I find this very hard to believe but what do I know!? I'm considering this one @ $94 Cdn + $13 shipping Apparently it fits the 21mm lug size I need https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/740812942/superb-strap-compatible-with-omega
If you're interested in an excellent quality Isofrane style strap at a better price point, I've been very happy with the Borealis straps. They are quite different from the Omega style, but they add an authentic diver style to the watch IMO. https://www.borealiswatch.com/store...t-Offer-in-Market-for-Diver-Watches-p83375029
Excellent. I have looked at the original Isofranes but couldn't decide on whether to try 20mm or 22mm on my 21mm lugs. Even though I'd prefer a deployment clasp, at the price of this one, it's worth trying either one, especially the blue. Thank you.
If it's difficult to squeeze it in, you could always cut tiny notches in the 22mm strap to fit between the lugs (or just shave off a small amount at the end) using a razor blade or sharp knife. It would probably be barely noticeable.
Why? I was about to offer him a rubber band in trade for it. Heck, I can offer rubber bands in several sizes for him to pick from. And as a bonus I'll throw in a paper clip that can be used to repair Speedmasters.
Uncle Seiko GL831, just received a couple days ago. I ordered a 22 for my SKX and thought “oh, what the hell” and also ordered a 20 for my Seamaster PO. Perfect! $39.00. Can’t beat it.
I bought mine off Etsy, a copy obviously but to an untrained eye is indistinguishable from the original. It cost approximately £20+ and wears very well.
