    Ive managed to find a few threads on this topic but have yet to find a solid answer / solution. Im looking for a more sporty / casual rubber strap for my PO with curved ends / sits flush. The older model OEM strap is perfect, but I am not sure if it will fit on my newer model PO (highly doubt it will). Ive also looked at aftermarket brands like Everest, Zealande, Horus, RubberB, Swiss Watch Spares, etc etc.

    1) Will the older OEM rubber strap (image) work with the newer PO 43.5mm models?
    2) What other decent made for PO aftermarket options I should consider?
    3) Is Horus worth the $? Some reviews say they feel cheap.

    I have the Omega rubber. Very nice. $250 for band and 250 for deployant clasp which is awesome. B3D2F384-7E25-4F57-A580-2BF0105C69AD.jpeg 8E17EE1D-32AB-4E62-89B0-FD918ADCB1B5.jpeg

    I just dont like the look of the latest OEM brands, the seams on the black one make it look too dressy for me. The orange looks good on yours tho!

    I have this one on my 43.5.

    I believe the strap is from the Good Planet GMT PO.

    Just received this, £22.95.
    Fits perfect at the lugs but is 21mm with no taper so had to cut to fit my genuine deployment that came with the alligator strap. Ordered another as didn't quite get this one as tidy as I would have liked. Looks and feels great though.

    Yeah, but that looks exactly like the OEM one, which is a bit too dressy with the seams. But I guess the answer is, if it sits, it's gtg regardless of price.

    Yeah, know what you mean, so I plucked them out! Actually looks better in the flesh than on photo. You can hardly tell it shouldn't have them. Hey, 22 quid ‍♂️
