Oem rubber strap question?
 

Hi friends,
Wanted some info/advice about oem rubber strap authenticity:thinking:

Is there a link so I can learn to tell a fake and authentic oem. I'm asking cuz the price varies. eBay prices hits $250-$300.00 but I'm not 100% sure it's real. There are some for $75.00 and the pics look exactly the same. Here at TRF and Paneristi, the prices are much lower. I'm confuse and want to be more educated in this area. :cheers:

Again, thanks in advance:thumbsup:

P.s. Hope I don't get in trouble with the MODS

Honestly its very difficult to tell. But I can post the original one later and then you can use it as a comparison. Dont you get one usually?

A used one should run under $100 and new one about $110ish. These are very common and pretty much come with every Luminor. If you look around at Paneristi under the Accessory Corner, you'll find one in a couple weeks at the prices I listed.

Thanks guys!!!
I also notice there Is "made in Italy" and one said "made in Austria"

And yes Norman please post some pics, and I have one from my 312 oem rubber strap. I also have one that I bought from eBay for $80.00 and they look and feel the same except for the smell. The oem from my 312 stinks like rubber and the eBay one smells sweet (it's like they spray sOmething on it) weird!!!

Yup, made in Italy and Australia.

would that be from kangaroo rubber? :thinking:

Barry, the non oem ones may smell sweet.

Tomat-oh Tomat-ah!

Ok, Austria. I got carried away on the keyboard! :dummy:

Here are my two...
