pezzy Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) Hey guys i'm after a kevlar strap for my 4th gen which i believe is 20mm? i'm after something that is exact or very similar to the kevlar strap used in the Blancpain Fifty Fathom. - needs to be a small size for my tiny wrists - black with hidden stitching - thick and padded for the curvature look (at least 5mm thick) Help me locate this perfect strap ! If you want to post other kevlar straps on Omegas, please do so and turn this thread into THE kevlar strap thread for omegas.

There are some really nice kevlar straps on Ofrei.com, which are Omega straps. They might give you some ideas of what you're looking for, even if you don't want to pay OEM prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzy Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 the only kevlar strap i like in ofrei is the speedmaster x-33 one. if all else fails i might get that one. would much prefer something similar to the blancpain though.

It looks awesome I would suggest against taking a sharpie to the stitching, simply because, a black strap with white stitching, even if it's not crocodile, can still look sharp with smart clothes (picks up on the white shirt or pin stripes in the suit ) so I'd say keep it as it is That said, if you wanted to make it look really bitchin', order an OEM Omega buckle (or deployant) and replace the factory-installed one I did that on an Aqua Terra I customized for my dad last year, and changing the buckle, made a lot of difference to the strap It made an aftermarket strap, appear to be OEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzy Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 thanks for the comments guys. the contrast stitching has started to grow on me. its actually quite subtle cause its has a greyish tone rather than being full white. i don't think i'll be using the sharpie anymore . as for getting a oem buckle/deployment, i'll probably do that sometime in the future. the deployment i bought with the strap just doesn't do it for me. damn i love this strap .

No problem, and I'm glad you like the strap I think an OEM buckle or deployment would make a lot of difference, to be honest, the ones fitted to aftermarket straps are often pretty cheap quality. Functional, for sure, but not really 'up to the job' with such a high-end watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
