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. http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=518988 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. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk |

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.
