dewhorseNeed recommendations on deployant and silicon watch band
Picked up my PO from Omega yesterday, it took 2 months for routineservice. I love the PO but wish it had the micro adjustments like Rolex or they sold a half link, the band is either a smidge too tight ( I like a bit of looseness) or when I add a link it damn near turns on my wrist.
I am not gonna pay the $600 Omega is asking for their rubber band and deployant so I have come to the SF brain trust for recommendations.
Budget, under $100....maybe $150
Looking for rubber or silicon....maybe a nice waterproof ralley strap that is not going smell funky in 6 months and won't fall apart.
The deployant can be separate as I really would like to find a quality unit.
Any ideas?

TonydecCheck out panatime.com You can run pretty much any strap as long as you order the correct mm for your lugs.

smlsigWhat about a NATO band? You can get them in any color you want for about $25-30...

pulicordsI'm not sure whether there's some less expensive options available within their selections, but Rubber B watchbands are extremely well made and I'm very pleased with the performance of the one I use on my Rolex.

jhe888The Crafterblue straps are nice. I don't know if you can use a deployant buckle with them, but I am not sure deployant buckles are all that. In some ways, they are a solution in search of a problem.

Not disagreeing, with most I would say they are less secure than a normal strap.
I just like them
NATO strap, have a few, use them on my seiko but like a silicon/rubber strap for the PO.
Great Deep Sea Puli...always loved those
Thank you for the ideas gentlemen...
