I quite fancy buying one of these nifty swiss made straps for my 14060 Submariner.

However trying to source one is kind of difficult , plus im worried that ebay have one too many fakes.

If someone could point me in the right direction , i know there's a place in Wales that sells these , just wondered really if there were anywhere else?

I guess David Duggan in London could send you one!

I had one on a Deepsea, looked great and so was the quality!

I ordered direct from RubberB after Blowers totally messed me about.

Delivery from America in just a few days and no customs issues.

Quite the opposite of my experience...... Bought from blowers, asked if a small discount might be on the cards due to favourable exchange rates?? And was told yessmile

Strap arrived next day...

Slightly bias but buying from a British Company means you have a rock solid backup plus cash in your own economy

Hi

I bought mine from Ian Blowers. No problem. Mine is red which I used for a week on my Pepsi dialled GMT Master. It is now sitting in a drawer until I buy another Pepsi after foolishly be persuaded to sell it to a customer!

Can I ask, if I use this strap with the Rolex deployant clasp, do I need to cut the rubber? Thanks

Depends on the size of your wrist....but I had to cut a couple of segments off the one on my Explorer..

Yes, I think you do. That is why I got the Rubber B with a tange buckle. This means I just take the whole bracelet off.

Thanks for the replies. I'll be getting the black strap as soon as I can find a decent LV.

I fitted deployment clasp without cutting no problem . you can adjust the clasp to make it tighter by moving the spring bars along

I'll post a picture when it happens. I do notice they're a fair bit cheaper from Europe, but I'd prefer to keep the money in the UK.
