jdkno Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has found a cheaper alternative to the Gen black strap with orange stitching for the 45.5mm PO. The gen is around $200 for such a simple strap I can't believe it is so hard to find a cheaper alternative. This is as close as I have come to it and I would have to change the stitching from white to orange myself.

docblackrock Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 The gen deployant strap (with either white or orange stitch) is rubber, so no calfskin strap will match particularly well. Closest I've seen is the coated 'bull' leather Omega strap from Official Time which I originally bought way back for my Speedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
