OE Rubber Strap
Any suggestions as to where I can source an OE black rubber strap/buckle for an Omega SMP 300M reference 212.30.41.20.01.002? Appreciate any help.

Go to Hamra in Scottsdale or the Omega Boutique at Fashion Square, I'm sure either can order you anything you want
I'm sure you want the deployment clasp and all, correct I think I read they were like $495, but don't quote me on that..... |

Try Ofrei.com
Isofrane is also very good; I have it on my SMP. |

Frankly, a regular buckle is just fine. I'm more interested in the strap than the deployant/buckle. I'm hoping to avoid gaps between the case and the strap.

Isofrane is a wonderful rubber strap that was prevalent in the 70's. They went out of business and were re-introduced a few years ago. Quote simply, its the best strap I've ever worn - period. About a hundred bucks. Available directly from their website. Do a Google search and you'll find only positive opinions. sent using Tapatalk |

I'm sure it's a wonderful strap, though it won't achieve the OEM look. |

If you can find an OE strap for your watch that would be the best one, IMHO.
Personally I think the Isofrane is over-rated and over-priced. I think it will look cheap on your Omega. Just my 2 cents. Cheers, Bill P. |

I put the black rubber strap with white stitching and deployment buckle that came on my Planet Ocean 2500. I like it.

Shoot me a PM before you talk to Ofrei. They are way overpriced.
Isofrane is okay, an aftermarket strap. IMHO Omega makes one of the best OEM rubber straps and Isofrane just cannot compare. It's good, but not Omega good. That's just my opinion though.
