dangerman Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm looking to get the new replica rubber strap for the 45mm Planet Ocean. I saw it come out a couple of weeks ago from Silix but have yet to see anyone post pictures or a review. I'm still debating whether to go with leather or rubber, so I'd love to see what people think of the quality of the new strap. I'm hoping this might encourage anyone who has one to come forward with their impressions. Cheers Dangerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerman Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Still not received mine yet..... Thanks r11co. I know there was a considerable pent up demand and it's been a while now. I really thought lots of members would have them by now. Anyway when you do get it, I'd love to read a review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dangerman I haven't got one on order, but I do have Omegas (in various states of functionality ) on rubber strap. (same strap, different watches) I would make your decision based on when you are likely to be wearing the watch and the image you want it to have. If you want it to look rugged, then go with the rubber. If you want it to look elegant and smart, go with leather. Another small detail, is I've yet to get either 2531.80 or Planet Ocean under a shirt cuff while worn on a rubber strap. SS bracelet, not a problem, but a shirt cuff? No go... Best of luck with your decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyChingas Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Anyone receive theirs yet? well it's worth 35.00.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11co Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 well it's worth 35.00.... Which is about 10x the value of your contributions to RWG so far. Mine is still in transit..... I did opt for airmail though, and it is being delivered as part of a package of items, some of which were pending stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haveblue Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) ^^^ +10,000 i have not ordered one yet but read on the darkside that those that have received theirs' are pleased.....you've probably read about it but they state the only difference is that the rep has dust stick to it where the gen doesn't....apparently the gen is made of a different material (pure rubber ?). they also state that the rep strap is very soft. doc, is this true that the gen doesn't have dust stick to it? also, is the gen soft?

who Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 don't tease me pls..... next time I will host the GB so I got the first look in the meantime I will wear my Ferrari (with rubber strap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 doc, is this true that the gen doesn't have dust stick to it? also, is the gen soft? Yep, that's right, no dust not a speck, smooth as a Jessica Alba's backside..... As for soft, well it's hard to describe - it has a heavy duty inflexible construction, but is slightly soft to the touch. Another differentiatior from the rep is that water just evaporates off the rubber surface in milliseconds. Likely I'll get one of the rep straps myself soon just as a comparison - will post of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I have received the PO rubber strap in my last shipment from Silix. Some pictures and wristshots in THIS thread. A nice strap, black strap fits well with the black dial and bezel. I discovered that some silicone on the rubber strap makes it less prone to dust.

space Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 hmmm, Maybe that's a problem with small wrists? Think I'm going black Nato strap instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 hmmm, Maybe that's a problem with small wrists? Think I'm going black Nato strap instead... Not a wrist issue - but rather a thin springbar issue. Being discussed here. I have since been able to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Got mine this morning, looks and feels great. Now I just have to wait for my watch to get from being repaired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 I've had my rubber strap for a little over a month now, and It's definately worth it! Barely any dust build up, and it can take a lot of wear and tear. I wear it almost every morning. I live near the beach so it makes the PO a perfect casual watch, running watch etc. Good luck.

jec97t Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I got mine...but it doesn't stay in place. I'm having same problem as this guy: No offense but that looks awful...i have thin wrists too and have avoided this watch (although i love it) altogether. Very cool look but it looks like you borrowed daddy's timepeice. JEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 6.7 inch wrist and yes that's not big but I think i can enjoy it, see other pic below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
