Eton Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Well... My franken UPO is done...just wondering your thougths on the Gen rubber strap...is it worth getting? I'm assuming fitment is fine? Will the spring bars still be slightly bent like on the rep rubber? Thanks in advance for your help!

deniz21 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 cant say much about if the gen is worth, but i think the SB will also slightly bend like on the rep, cause you dont change the lugsize or better said the drilled holes in there the SB are sitting, or not deniz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I wouldn't bother. The OEM is a little darker but only noticeable if you have 2 side by side. Even the AD where I bought my PO told me to get the PO with bracelet and buy the aftermarket rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakortheblue Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 There is slightly less stand-off near the lugs for the gen which is slightly softer. I notice it on my 6.5 inch wrist, it may less noticeable for someone with a more manly wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eton Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Thanks for the input! You all touched on different aspects, so thanks again! Springs will probably bend, visually...not worth it, Interesting that the Gen is less stand-offish at the lugs...all things to consider!

jdkno Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I used the rep rubber strap on my UPO with gen spring bars. The spring bars did not bend. Don't get me wrong it was a PITA to get it on but it keeps the rubber tight to the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veja74 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have gen springbars with the gen rubber and don't notice any spring bar bend/strap standoff at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
