Seamaster (new look cheap)
Discussion
Hi Guys
Thought I might share this with you. I wanted to change my Seamaster give it a bit of a lift, I trawled round various sites and really liked the blue rubber strap look, but not the OE Omega prices £400 for strap and clasp. I found a few OE on the Evil Bay but still big dollar. and really its only for hols so I still swim with it being rubber. On the bay I came across this American guy selling an Omega style blue rubber strap for £23 inc postage. So I thought I will take a punt on one. Ordered it on the Monday got it within eight days. The clasp I got from a German co on the bay for £8. What do you guys think

I think it looks quite cheap I'm afraid! Not as cheap as it is but it definitely doesn't look OEM to me.
The stitching might be a bit of a giveaway when you look close but when you look at it in normal circumstances you would be hard pushed to tell. Mine looks like this one from google images:
Is there another blue rubber strap they do for it?
I know many people who feel that a leather or rubber strap cheapen a watch, they feel like they need a bracelet to justify the cost but whilst a bracelet is great one shouldnt under-estimate the benefis of rubber and leather. I find that a rubber strap really sportifys the watch and leather has a real warmth especially in the cooler months.
I love watches on all sorts but rubber and leather are favourite
