Recommendations for Rubber Strap for SKX007/171

Post by Ender » 05 Mar 2014 09:04

I am looking for something in regular length with flat/straight vents with a look similar to the OEM Z22 version.
I have considered the OEM version but overall impression from reading off the internet is that it's really stiff, and it appears to come in one standard extra long length only. I have also checked out K2 but did not find the rubber straps there to my liking.
Willing to consider aftermarket versions, even Casio, Citizen, Timex.
Any recommendations, including sellers, whether on Ebay or in Singapore?
TIA!

GL-831 straps were used for the vintage 6309 divers.

Have a nice weekend. :mrgreen:

So far. The 3 best rubber straps that impressed me so far are the waffle straps fro. Dagaz and yobokies, and rubber straps from hirsch, they're short, good for small/mid size wrists (115/75)and have fit for different lug sizes. The ones from dagaz and ypbokies are prices quite attractive. Hirsch is abit more expensive.

I buy flat vented AMs (ZLM29) locally as they're widely available here but sad to say they're not that durable or couldn't withstand the test of time and cracks/breaks easily when left unused for too long. I just bought another one the other day for my H601 arnie wannabe while looking for another alternative.

Scary one time i was just sitting on my car listening to music when suddenly strap broke, luckily my Tuna didn't fall to the ground.
