Icon10 Vulcanized 116710LN all strapped in...

Ordered a RubberB and thought I could find something as good but without the premium he (and the like competitors) seem to attach to their straps given the market they're selling into. I have nothing against a business testing the price elasticity of demand, but am frugal, so there's that.

Anyways...

So in searching a bit more I found a brand of straps on the 'bay' (he sells outside of that as well). Just search for 'vulcanized caoutchouc rubber straps' and it seems to get you there. I tried to share the link, but it did not work correctly.

Purchased 3 of them (green, black & white) and he 'threw in' a 4th (red, which I put on to celebrate Canada Day yesterday).

They are Vulcanized Cauotchouc rubber straps.

Have to say that, so far, the quality is on par with RubberB. Comfort is the same. Looks great.

Just thought I would pass along the info so others might be able to try them out as well.

Thanks for this - one for the Submariner 16613 and one for the Daytona 166520, a blue and a black.

Cheers!

And in white

Excuse the quality, tried to capture it well, but...

I am surprised at how much I actually like the white strap on the 116710LN
