pfran42 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Just bought a UPO on SS with the correct 22mm lugs and I was wondering where I can get either a Gen or Rep rubber strap for it? Can you request these from the dealers? If not, anyone have one they want to get rid of or can someone direct me to a source that has them? Thanks!

tick123 Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 most of the dealers should have the rubber available, just email them to make sure. I'm pretty sure silix has one and I am positive King has some as I just ordered my UPO on rubber from her the price for the strap is around 30-40 bucks, shouldnt be more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhitesox Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I remember reading that the gen rubber doesn't fit too well...Maybe do a search if you are going to buy the gen. Also the one Silix has is a bit sticky and collects dust pretty easily...I think Josh or Angus has the better quality rubber strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I also heard gen straps rubber or steel will not fit Silix's version as the lug holes are slightly different?? No such problems with the UPO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMK000 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I recall that also the rep rubber strap when fitted and watch is on wrist, dont fit tide on the lugs. They are raised living a gap beteween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 If you have a UPO, then the rubber strap from Josh/Andrew is the one to go for. The quality and fit is very good. If you have a 45mm Silix PO, then get the rubber strap from Silix. The quality isn't as good, but it is made to measure for that exact watch.

Then I received a pleasant surprise from Lanikai... He picked up the Strap that Josh sells and sent it to me... Awesome fit... Awesome finish... Awesome member... Thanks again R... I'm truly enjoying my PO now... Double T . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfran42 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Got one from Andrew. It does feel like quality and it repels dust. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
