Rubber Strap recommendations 2252.50

Brenny Luce · Wed. 8:25am

Hi all, looking for a rubber strap that would fit my 2252.50 seamaster 18mm lug width. Ideally something that would be as close to the current oem style today, with butterfly deployment claps and buckle. Anybody have any recommendations? Been looking everywhere.

Also if nothing available, has anybody ever tried to fit a 19mm rubber strap into a 18mm lug width? Is this doable and if so any harm to doing so? Thanks!

Zealande might have an option for what you're looking for. There's an 18mm rubber strap with straight ends and deployant clasp option which might work.

Recently ordered the 20mm rubber strap for my 2531.80 and it's very comfortable; the rubber is soft and flexible. Not having one from them before (asked another forum member which strap they have and how it wore) and after wearing it for a few weeks now and feeling how comfortable it is, the next one I order will have a deployant clasp.

Appreciate the feedback I’ll have a look. Yea I’ve had rubber straps on other watches but never liked the edge sticking out hence wanting the deployment clasp

If you're okay with straight ends, here's a slightly unorthodox option:

Watchdives FKM Rubber cut to size, Currently $18 USD on Amazon. It does have a deployant clasp, though it's not super high quality. I found the clasp edges a bit sharp for my comfort, but the Delugs leaf spring clasp fits it perfectly. It's after dark here, so the photos aren't great, but if you remind me tomorrow, I'll try to take some daylight pictures.

Probably doable. Here's a 20mm tropic strap on a watch with a 19mm lug width.
