Tintin and The Curse of the Rubber Strap....

[Justboughtfake]

can anyone help me navigate the discovery of two replacement rubber straps for a IWC Aqua-timer Cousteau circa 2008, and Hublot Big Bang Chrono from around the same time.. 

 

Both movements are keeping close t0 perfect time even after all of these years, but are completely unwearable as the bands ahve perished? 

 

Any ideas where to find new or used replacement bands?  I have tried TrustyTime but they do have stock of straps....

 

Please help get these back in service! 

 

Please excuse the god awful pics.. 

 

Cheers

Please consider keeping the watches from dogs and bears.

One of the markers has fallen off the IWC - check out the first pic the marker at 10:00 has ended up on the bezel at 7:00 - be careful it doesnt scratch the dial...
