I wear a Citizen diver as an everyday watch as I tend to destroy them within 2 yrs

This time the watch is fine but the strap has died, it broke and the pins have worn through ( due, I suspect, to a combination of building work and motorbikes)

Will anyone admit to trying the ebay straps ?

How much do I have to pay to get comparable quality ?

For balance the Citizen is much nicer than the 007 Seiko I'm currently wearing

The above fits, I have recently put it on the same watch. You can fit an eBay job but the end links take some fettling or maybe this

I've bought 6 or 7 straps from eBay, all from Geckota. 2 have been Zuludiver straps but they too come from Geckota.

Search Geckota and your lug size in eBay.

Quality is fantastic for the money. Just received one today actually; a Zuludiver rubber to go on my new Seiko. Tbh it isn't as nice as all the others but was only a fiver. Rest were around the £20 mark.

The other thing is if it’s just a pin failed pop into a local Timpsons or some such and see if they have a pin to fit it.

Thanks

I was surprised to find the pin had worn away, looking at the others I found they are in similar condition, including the fixed links, if I replace it another will soon fail.
