Temporary Strap / Bracelet for 18238

Hi Guys:

My 18238 YG Day Date (36mm) Presidential bracelet is going in for stretch repair, but I still want to wear the watch (head).

Do you guys/gals have any recommendations for a temporary strap I can install until my bracelet is repaired ?

I looked at Rubber B and Everest, but they did not have one listed (unless I missed it) for the 36mm Day Date.

Haven't seen any good reviews on the Horus strap(s) so I consider that brand to be a non contender.

Thanks in Advance

How about a Perlon strap? Very flexible and inexpensive.
I highly recommend the Eulit Kristall.

I think I would prefer more "fitted end pieces" kind of strap / bracelet.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

I would not put it on rubber, Aaron from combat straps might be able to do something custom

Where are you sending bracelet

Alligator is a good option (model: 18038).

A NATO might work too.

If you don’t mind me asking, Where are you sending the bracelet for stretch repair?
