Rubber strap options for DJ41 126300?
Does anyone know of rubber strap options for the DJ41/126300? Rubber B makes it for the DJII/116300 but it does not fit the DJ41. Everest bands only have leather for the DJ41. I've also seen ABP Concepts however I don't know if they have a matching fit for the DJ41 (or, like the Rubber B, if they're designed for the DJII).
Are there other brands aside from the aforementioned ones? |

Should be interchangeable, they both have 21mm lugs... but maybe call/email them to find out.

RubberB rubber straps are a precise fit for a particular model. I found that out when I was trying to fit my GMT IIc LN RubberB on my Milgauss.
However, I have been able to easily fit same strap on my 5 digit explorer II. |

It’s eaiser to keep my watch case in a pristine condition (as I can), than my Oyster bracelet/clasp.
Also I like the black rubber look which makes the DJ41 an even sportier look. |

I'm thinking of getting a 126300 on Jubilee and I think having a rubber strap combo and a Jubilee would be a perfect combo. One more dressy and flashy, the other more sporty. So I was searching for rubber straps for DJ41 and was unable to find anything. Only thing I can think of is possibly the 42mm YM has 21mm lug width. Then its Oysterflex might be suitable for the DJ41. If it is someone will create endlinks, probably. But I say it's too early to tell if ppl can even get their hands on OF from 42mm YM. Otherwise you have to wait for Everest/RubberB/somebody else.

I've sent a message to ABP Concepts to see if their straps are DJ41 compatible but they haven't responded yet. I think the 21mm lug width size isn't the issue but possibly the concave curvature may be a little different from the DJII - and that's possibly where the DJII straps aren't compatible to the DJ41.
I agree with you that a jubilee & rubber strap compliment each other depending on dressing up or dressing down. |

Here is the response I got from ABP Concept :-
—- cut here —- We did not tried our R Strap on the new DJ 41mm unfortunately… The two models are not the same but the shape of the Oyster strap is so it should fit with the spring bar we include with the strap. —- cut here —- Nothing definitive but implies it could work? |
