StrapFreak anyone?

Has anyone bought a rubber strap from these folks. http://www.strapfreak.com/category/rolex

Love to know opinions on their product. Am also considering Rubber B. Had a tear in my Everest with poor customer service, so won't be going there. See below thread for clarification.

Thank you for your thoughts and observations.

Never heard of them, but it looks like they just lifted Rubber-B's picture, so maybe they do a knock-off.

I was considering going with them on a custom brown strap. Also looking for references. He posts lots of ads on this forum as strapfreak.

Didn't know he had a website.

I bought some when I picked up my PAM (isn't that what you do with a PAM?). Anyways, after ONE month of wearing, and not rough wearing I had a strap delaminate where it was glued together. Keep in mind this is a $150 strap. So I write and send pictures, and the response was to re-glue it as this sometimes happens. I can send it back, and they'll replace (remember they international, Indonesia), but I have to pay to send it back.

I'll re-glue it, but won't buy from again. $150 strap should start to fall apart after a soft ONE month of wearing.

Thanks for the feedback. I liked the design of the red blue stitch on brown leather but I have had mixed results buying things from overseas in general.
