still love grand seiko with their dials but these are all looking all the same now

 
awesome pick up, grats!





i agree to a certain extent

i have maybe close to 30 rubber straps by now, got plenty from aliexpress and stores like strapsco and even some from etsy and the vanguard is the best feeling and quality of everything ive purchased

i agree though, strapsco and etsy and amazon straps/rubber straps are pretty much rebranded aliexpress straps but vanguard, rubberb, etc... did manufacture their own (or at least started it) then aliexpress chinese actories got a hold of the mold and started selling it themselves

also, vanguard is the only rubber strap that ive seen that has a short and long options, at least for tudor when i bought mine a couple of years ago

is it worth 10x the price? thats up to you

you also got to be careful with picking what you buy from aliexpress, there are some too good to be true rubbers there that i simply do not trust to use on a watch that ight cost $500+ :lol:
Looking to get a rubber strap for my SMP Any specific brand recommendations on Amazon for rubber straps, or should I just spend the $100 or so on one of those vanguard ones?

awesome smp300

you can checkout some aliexpress ones as suggested, its probably the cheapest route to go

second cheapest option is amazon and return policy is top notch, you get something that doesnt look right or doesnt fit, just send it right back


if you dont want to go that cheap, strapsco a fitted strap for $50 and with their buy 2 get one free, you can get 3 for $100 (if you want 3 different colored strap options for you seamaster :lol: of just want to get straps for different watches )

but with presidents day coming in 2 weeks, if wait out as they usually have like a 25% off if you spend $99 and that stacks with the buy 2 get 1 free so it will be like getting 3 straps for $75?


there are also a lot of non-fitted options at a much cheaper price, at 20mm olug width ( i believe?) then the option is endless
 
As soon as I see Roman numerals I think more dressy

Same goes for Wimbledon
 
How do people feel about the Tudor fxd pelagos as a beater daily ?
In between tryna find something as a daily so narrowed it to that or a mark xx
 
the fxd pelagos is a very good watch but its all about how it fits/looks on your wrist and if you are fine just using nato style straps if you want to change it up
