[slask111]

Hi all,

Got my V.5 PO in 6 days from door to door. Happy Dont like the SS endlinks though so im looking around for a rubber strap. Josh dont seem to have them, do you guys know if anyone have them for sale yet?

You can ask, im sure he has them. You could also go gen, the basic rubber straps are less then $150, I just ordered a gen black rubber with orange stitch synthetic integrated strapped from an AD for $140 shipped. The deployant buckle is the expensive part (about $230) but the rep clasp is decent.

Ask Trevor. I've asked him and he had it.

I have a related question that is probably not worth of creating a new thread for: is there a difference between the replica rubber straps from the trusted dealers and those that can sometimes be found on ebay? I bought one on ebay for about 20$ some time ago and while it's pretty accurately replicated, the rubber is quite stiff. Are the ones from the TD's made of a different kind of rubber? I'm hoping they would be as soft as Panerai ones.
