Which OEM Omega rubber strap did you have? I know of two made to fit the 2500 PO and I'm not sure I like either one but I'm open to your thoughts on them.

There is this one:

And this one:

I don't really think I like the look of either of them.

I actually had both at on point lol

Both had a nice feel to it. I liked the top a little more but the bottom uses the deployment. I liked the look more of the top one plus bond wore it on the 2500 hehe

Now if you do like the look then I think a rubber b or Everest is the way to go. Some say they are expensive for not being oem but from what I heard the quality is right near the oem oysterflex and FYI that thing goes for close to 600 so 200 is a steal.

Like this RubberB on a Speedmaster Tintin?

YES!!!! You're the one that got me researching this. I think you posted it on IG a few days ago. How well does it fit and what model of Rubber B did you get? If it fits the Tintin it will also fit a first gen PO. I know this because I've got a black rally strap made for the PO that fits perfect on my modern Speedys.

Thanks for the feedback! I must say the all black one that Bond wore is starting to appeal to me a bit.

Correct, that was me.

The front side fits 95% I'd say. The back side a little less because the case shape of the Speedy is different from the Rolex. I originally bought this red RubberB strap to fit my platinum Yachtmaster that had a red second hand.

Here's a picture of the Speedy back side so you get a better feeling of how it looks.

That looks like a pretty snug fit. Thanks for the additional info and the pics. So, if I wanted to go this route I'd look to get one for the Yachtmaster or any other 40mm Rolex?

Great shots! Rubber B are not one size fits all because each strap differs / model has a specific model #.

Which Model# Rubber B are these straps?

Same can be said for most straps IMO. And most watches for that matter.

But I'll say that the quality and comfort of both Everest and RubberB is excellent. Durable and look great.

They can have my $200 😀

Omega straps are the same price if not more. The quality and feel of the RubberB is just as soft and comfortable as the Omega rubber strap with tang buckle.
Anyway here are some pics of a RubberB on a SMP 300. Sorry about the crappy photography. .
The PO is on genuine Omega deployant.

Super cool - thanks for the pictures. I always liked rubber straps and was thinking about doing this, but this just confirms it.

As a matter of fact these straps fit perfectly on the 2254.50. Its like they are made for, curved neatly around the case and flush with the lugs. I had this combination on mine and you do need skinny spring bars as the holes don't quite line up. It is the same strap made for and used on my Explorer II 40mm or Sub 14060 no date. I have now a RubberB black rubber with tang (same case fit) on my 2254.50 but took the tang buckle of and fitted a 18mm black PVD coated Hedley Roma butterfly clasp. It all works and fit very well.
I was so impressed with the combo I fitted the RubberB black rubber with red VulChromatic on my SMP 300 quartz. The red on the strap complements the red on the second hand and red Seamaster logo on the dial very nicely. Also fitted the black Hedley Roma butterfly clasp on this one.
Sorry, no pics at the ready for now.
The Velcro strap I took of is now for sale here on the forum, size M fits a wrist up to 183mm.
Just recieved Rubber B strap for my seamaster smp quartz. How were you able to make it fit? It's 20mm by 18 tang buckle.

I have a Rubber B for my 16570 I like it but I just don't love it.
Doesn't fit the curve of my wrist all that well and seems to stick to my skin sometimes.
I have the one I used a Rolex buckle on, not the tang buckle.
Still I have several friends that love them! They look good as well.

I used some skinny spring bars but since have used the Omega 1.8mm x 20mm spring bars also. The Omega spring bars are tight but with a bit of perseverance they 'll go on well.

I actually have since returned that strap. I have someone sending me curved spring bars and I'm going to try and fit the newest seamaster 300 rubber strap on instead. That's the one I really preferred. I also have a Zealande rubber strap with a Hadley-Roma black deployment clasp. Strap was quality the clasp was so uncomfortable I couldn't wear it for more than 5 minutes unfortunately.

Do you know if the Rolex submariner Rubber-b's will fit the Speedy? Also one request - could you post a side profile of the front - just want to see how well it fits on the lugs?

Correct, that was me.

If that question is addressed to me, well I no longer possess that Speedy….

Curious to bump this thread in case there's anyone who can help confirm..

I can confirm that the RubberB tang strap for the 16570 / 40mm Explorer II fits the 2254, 2538, 2220.80 series of the SMP perfectly. No wiggle or gaps at all.

However, I have a PO2500 (POLMLE) that I tried fitting it to, and it fits... but only about 95%. Spring bars click in without any coaxing actually, but the fit against the case leaves about 0.5mm gap - so the strap can wiggle a tiny bit.

So I was wondering if anyone has successfully tried installing the RubberB tang strap for Yachtmaster 40mm on a PO2500? Based on the first set of photos on the TinTin, I can see a tiny gap from the top side.

Alternatively, would the RubberB for the 40mm Sea-Dweller be more likely to fit since it has what I imagine is the same profile case but slightly thicker? I don't have much experience with Rolex so it's a bit of a guessing game here... Thanks!

I know this is an old thread but did you ever check to see if they fit with your 2500 PO and Speedy Pro? I may be pulling the trigger on one if they do. And I'd be curious what model you went with.
The Everest will fit the 2500 but when strapped to your wrist it pulls away from the case creating a gap. No really a good look imo.
