Variatio Delectat

Jacob maces them, made of high quality technical plastic, and he is the only one I know who does.

I ordered mine from Jacobstraps. Outstanding quality.

Nice pics, so "who's who"?

Its not the strap its the stunning fitment on an OEM strap to the lugs that makes the difference!

Yes, right you are, that's for sure. However I am looking forward to how Jabob's strap will do.

Best you can get is OEM.

I would not be entirely sure. The OEM straps are heavily overpriced (as, of course, just about everything from AP ), and the "Hornback Exclusive" from Jacob seem to be at least similar to the OEM. Plus, you can chose whatever color and stitching you want, which obviously is a plus.

At least I am going to give him a try.

Thx, maybe they have smth. for them:

 

WTF...

A little late, but as I am actually doing some research for a ROO Diver strap and came across this post, this is most possibly the best one can get. Thank you very much for sharing, just asked Jacob to make one for me.

Cool, thx for sharing!

There are  few on Jacobs site mate....

 

 

Here is one for example..

This is exactly the one I found by myself, thx again for pointing me to Jacob, the straps seem to be of superior quality, plus he is pretty responsive, and I am already about to place an order.

Great, thx. I already had a look at Jacob's site but could not find any Hublot straps - will ask him and Koon as well for those though.

As for ABP... yes, they are really expensive.

Yes, I am aware of Eric aka Donerix, but afaik there are other makers as well, I just was not able to find them even though I did search the forum.

Any suggestions where to look? Banda e.g. does not list Hublot straps any more.

Thank you in advance.

Good looking indeed, I would second the question where you got the strap.

Thanks a lot.

Hello, just been to InTime Ryan's site to place my order for the V5 and surprised to see the new Diver Titanium with Myota engine!!!! price is 398$ I did'nt know that there was such model in the AP catalog, but the Watch looks cool.

Would you mind providing the link?

PMJI, but as I just came across this watch and would like to get a (hornback) leather strap could anyone pls just give me a quick hint if all the ROO watches uses the same type of straps, i.e. the fit is the same so they are interchangeable? Many thanks in advance and sorry for the off-topic.

+1 on this. gives the watch a more gen look.

It is not only the look, but as well the extraordinary comfort and quality of the strap, many times better than any custom strap I ever saw.

Alternatively you might think about getting yourself a gen strap. IMO the best choice.

Would you mind posting a) a link to the sale and pictures of the backside of the straps, as well mounted and unmounted?

I simply bought it from an authorized Hublot dealer. Would be glad to find a source for purchasing at reasonable discounts though...

Lastly, it's not a problem with the face, it's with the strap. As you can see, it sticks out in the photos and is quite ugly because of that. As such I'm purchasing an all black strap from Eric of hamiltonleathers who will make it for me in a week, I shall post photos when I receive them! That's all for now! :cheers: do ask me any questions!

You're right, the rep strap is pretty much crappy. However, if you still have the chance, get yourself an original rubber strap from Hublot, even though it is anything but cheap. I had a close look at the hamiltonleatherworks-straps but they did not really make my want them: Seams as well as edges give an impression of a pretty rough look, not as classy as I would expect it for an HBB. OTOH if you are fine with that look you may of course be happy with them.

Why don't you get a costomized strap from Donarix or another strapmaker?

There are very few strap makers out there making HBB straps afaik. If you like what they do, you're fine. However, the OEM straps are of that much higher quality chances are you end up (like me) purchasing the original. As hansmeier already mentioned, the Hublot rubber strap is the smoothest thing you'll ever have around your wrist.

The straps look rather good indeed. However, I would very much like to see the backside of them, as well the strap itself as mounted to the watch, would that be possible?

Tommy Hilfiger - I buy them even without trying them on. They just fit perfectly.

Same here - however, only when I buy in the US, their cut in the EU is completely different.

I use a belt hanger, similar to that one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000IF9HQA/, works perfect for me.
