krustybrand Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 I just had this strap arrive today. I think it improves this watch quite a bit. It doesn't feel nearly so heavy and is really comfortable. Sorry about the obvious dust in the photos. It was too darn cold out to take the time to stage it properly.
b16a2 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Very noice! That is genuine isn't it....I don't remember the rep being that good!?
krustybrand Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Posted March 2, 2009 Very noice! That is genuine isn't it.... Yes, it is indeed - purchased a couple of years ago from Thomasng for a ridiculously low price and fully serviced by Omega last month (sorry, Zig).
smc Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Yeah that does look good. I think it looks even better than the steel bracelet on that watch! I was toying with that as well but ended up with the mesh for my electric blue - it's plenty comfy as well in case you were thinking about it (plus it doesn't pull hairs).
digitalnrg Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 The strap looks real nice. I should look to get one in black color for my black chrono
krustybrand Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Posted March 3, 2009 I always felt that rubber would sort of 'stick' to the skin and pull hairs, but last summer, my titanium Oris TT1 with the rubber band became my daily wearer. I'm now a big fan. Cleaning after a sweaty bike ride or yard work is much easier than a bracelet too.
Jimster Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 That is a great combination........and a nice touch on the casing pad. Jim
thewatchmanpr Posted March 7, 2009 Report Posted March 7, 2009 Beautifull. Where you find that strap?
krustybrand Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Posted March 7, 2009 I bought the strap and clasp from someone on TZ, but it can be ordered through any Omega dealer, although it is not cheap. I believe the part nos. are as follows; blue strap (20mm) - 9798.80.82 clasp - ST1506.832.117 Beware, though. The gen case has 2 sets of lug holes, and without taking mine apart again, I can't tell you at the moment if one gets used for the bracelet and one for the rubber strap, or if the 2nd set is for another possibility entirely.
bosk Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I bought the strap and clasp from someone on TZ, but it can be ordered through any Omega dealer, although it is not cheap.

The gen case has 2 sets of lug holes, and without taking mine apart again, I can't tell you at the moment if one gets used for the bracelet and one for the rubber strap, or if the 2nd set is for another possibility entirely. So only one of the holes is used? I think I've seen this gen strap fitted on a SMP rep (non-chrono) so the normal holes that fit the bracelet should work. the strap does not "flip out" once on the wrist? I know the Rep PO straps flip out on the SMP case. My corum uses two pins per side for this reason.
krustybrand Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Posted March 13, 2009 No, it stays put between the lugs perfectly, as does a gen PO rubber strap on my rep PO. Only one set of holes in the lugs of the SMP are used. I don't know if it's the same set as the bracelet, but I think so. I'm now curious as to what the second set is for.
