It is impossibly tight on the Seamaster! With regular cheap springbars I did manage to force it on by pushing the rubber strap twords the case once I had both ends of the springbar between the lugs but it's a really tight fit!

The eBay straps are made like the Planet Ocean rubber so I am wondering if these straps will fit right on the Planet Ocean???






Chris - Thanks for the extra info regarding the differences between the Ebay strap and the one you got direct from Ofrei.

It was my understanding that the Planet Ocean rubber had "Seamaster Planet Ocean"  molded into the inner part of the strap while the non-PO straps simply have "Seamaster" molded into the strap.

When you say the ebay strap is made like the Planet Ocean Rubber, do you mean the "look, feel, stiffness" of the rubber or something else?

Would you say that the Ebay rubber version is stiffer/firmer than the version you got from Ofrei?

Thanks again...
