Yup...Another Nooob-HELP Needed

Hey all,

Noob ~ female looking for a great gift for my dad. He is a rep collector of Omega's- He just got the Orange PO 4rth Gen? (always wearing it talking about it with friends)

Anyway, I would like to get him a couple of high end Rubber straps for his b-day. Are there anysites you folks can recommend?

Can you sugest a link? Something a rep collector would like / high quality?- he is always changing straps so I know he will be happy.

Any help would be great- Just got a Rolex for myslef...love this rep thingy :)

42.2<---u must know that I guess.

I am in the US<--1st choice but not a must, but 1st choice- quality is a must- hence no ebay.

do I need a buckle?

Hello Kim... Welcome to the forum... another female geeks is a must.. You will like it here.. :D :D

42mm PO required 20mm straps.. I dont have much to say about that.. let see what other will say. ;)

Other than ebay.. (no ebay.. got it ;) ) custom made will be the next best thing. HK Tan is the guy to go to for custom.

Good luck.. and welcome again now show off that rolex.. looking forward to see your post.

Cute- I guess it's late off to clss early- I guess ebay?..I assume won'y match due to buckle clasp?

I guess-I'll take any site with quality....help if you can....you may have a baby girl someday.

:) I hope others can provide some advice- I read your post about the crystal...sad :(

see I have 2 edit my post...geeze

Kim... does he have the gen rubber strap for his 42mm planet ocean ?? if not you can go to http://ofrei.com/ located in San fransisco
go to search button type OME-98000144 and look for planet ocean strap 20mm
dont forget it will need the buckle also so type OME-9451-2022 for the buckle..

The gen rubber strap for PO is alot alot nicer... ;) let me know if you need more help... PM me

One more thing.. you can also go to AD to get the strap... just say its a present for your dad.. so they wont ask for serial number etc etc... will be cheaper over at omega AD

hahahahhahaa.. quality do cost.. and ofrei do cost more.. :D :D

Try as i suggest on the PM.. go to AD .. and flirt with the salesman.. I dont know any girl who can not get anything from any guy... ;) ;) JK

Just ask nicely... the gen rubber goes around $100.00 - 125.00 i think.. depend on the store... maybe even lower if you give them your replica cell phone number.. give them really bad replica cell phone number.. ;) ;)

Do they rep these as well in CONUS?..or I guess anywhere? I was hoping It would cost 100.00 for both the strap & buckle 2gether...hmmm

Hey~would a NATO strap look good...suggestions anyone?

Thanks all,

You're a naughty man, d. :lol:

Any idea if your dad's an advanturous watch collector, kim? Perhaps you might wanna try a new watch he'd never thought about before. What other watches are in his collection so far? Perhaps we can help to think what kind of watch he might like. We're all glad to help here :D

Nato looks good on the PO watches IMO but the rep rubber strap is actually not too bad. Try Ruby and Silix for this strap. Ther are a lot of sporty watches out there than Im sure he would like.

Kim also dont forget to check out our womens section. Including photogirl review of the ladies Rolex.

Alternatively, if you want to just get the rubber straps, you may ask Silix or Ruby. They sell the straps alone as well.

** He does not MOD (FYI) so he always wants" the best version OOTB (out of the box)

He has:

2 Tags-link, The new rubber new Tiger Woods(name?),
1 Pam 111( i think),---loves this one
4 Rolies, basic versions I think

My mom is always telling him "why are you wearing that with jeans...or shorts", hence my thoughts on rubber or leather / kevlar strap.

Although every watch looks good on here- you guys must have great cameras or photoshop tools :p ...and I think u all fix them when you get them..no?

You guys are great...anyone ever in Boston, MA ???
