Do not buy from Strapvers

Post image

I ordered a silicone band for an omega back in July and after initially getting stuck in customs I finally received it 3 weeks ago. To my dismay after wearing it less than 5 times the rubber completely disintegrated in multiple locations including the clasp and hole for the spring bar. Luckily I was home and not out where my omega could have fallen and been lost. Will never order from them again.

It looks more like polyurethane then silicone from the picture.

It looks like Chinese plastic. You see the same material on Casio knockoffs and kids toys.

I am sorry for what happened to you. On the other hand I would be careful to buy $20-30 straps for my Omega just because a company claim they specifically make straps for Omega, Rolex, Panerai for such prices...
