Leather strap for RO?

Is there a leather strap available for my RO, or are they just made for the ROO?

Mike, You can get a leather or rubber strap for your RO, You will have to buy some parts for make it work though.

You would need 4 plots (made in WG) and a deployant clasp plus your choice of strap.
The deployant clasp is about 700-800 if i remember correctly.
Leather bands are roughly 500-700 depending stitches and color.
The Original plots will cost a bit since they are made in WG, But you could go aftermarket here.

Just the other week after we talked about it. Didn't fancy the aftermarket straps though but I love the OEM croc. Huge difference

Now I just need another one...

Then it's always a rubber strap for the summer

Did you get the OEM deployant as well?

Not this time. Maybe with the next strap..

Not sure though since I like the comfy tang. Also I might need the long strap with a deployant. Not sure how much the deployant builds on the inside.. Only got two holes left as it is now...

Regarding the rubber I'm not sure it fits with the aftermarket plots. Someone said it was designed for the fatter ROC case and wouldn't work on my 15300. You know if that's true?

In that case i think you might need a extra long strap with the deployant.
Shouldn't be a problem with the rubber strap since the strap you got now is for both the 15300 and the ROC and it should have the same measure on the case.
