Rubber strap with tang buckle

Hi,
where can I find a rubber strap for a 41mm or 39 mm royal oak with a tang buckle. I do not like deployant clasp.
Thanks.

I looked into Rubberb, but they use either deployant clasp or velcrose, no tang buckle.

I could be wrong but I don't think Audemars makes anything to fit that bottom 18mm taper where the tang buckle would be. With Offshore I think you can do what you are asking but not on Royal Oak. I switched from leather to a Rubber B.

In the meantime buy a $4 no-name tang that is 18mm - that way you can get the deployant off the strap and buy you some more time to figure out an OEM solution. I did that to wear a hornback until the rubber diver came in from AP.

No, I've asked this question recently, as I'd like to convert my RG ROC onto tang buckle with rubber strap, but there is no option for this, which is surprising.

Hate to necro threadjack, but would it be possible to get a picture of the
"Buckle Ardillon 18mm?" Searched but can't find whether it has a circular or ovular pin...

Long story short, I'm trying to find an alternative to the "old circle style" 42mm ROOC deployant and was quoted nearly $700 from APSC for a "new oval style" 42mm ROOC rubber strap and tang buckle. If I can instead replace the deployant with the ROC tang buckle for $140, I'd call that a win.

PM Sent (I think).

Anyone know whether the Stainless Royal Oak Clasp referenced earlier will work?
