Watch strap holder or buckle ?

the strap holder. By default, most strap has 1 fixed holder and 1 moveable holder. Not sure why.the oem rubber has only 1 fixed holder with the moveable 1 missing. anyone can advise where can i get another holder. thks

[tzetze]

like i said, its not fixed... u tried using water so that u can remove it from its fixed position?

what length is your rubber strap? don't think standard length rubber strap will look good with double keepers.

Hehe. Actually there's a good reason why the rubber strap only have one keeper.

Primarily the rubber straps are to be used when you're going to use your beloved watch for a dive. And more likely than not you'll have to strap up the watch outside the wetsuit you're wearing. Due to the thickness of the suit, most likely you won't have a lot of excess strap left and hence the single keeper.

Hope this helps.

all oem strap has 2 keeper

yes for calf leather and some gator straps, no for rubber. I nvr seen a rubber came with 2 keepers before be it the old style sliding or the newest fix keeper rubber.

that is correct. the older rubber strap style has a single sliding keeper which i prefer instead of a single fixed keeper for the new style rubber strap

Go to eBay Singapore and buy a rubber strap, take out the keeper n put it onto your current strap. Problem solved!
