submarinerblue 8 Posted August 22, 2015 The rubber strap on my Porsche Diver 6780 broke. This seems to be a unique design and I have not found another strap that will fit the lugs. Contacted TDs who carry this watch and searched the internet. No one has a replacement strap that fits (except maybe a AD who will charge more than I paid for the rep). Also tried using a generic rubber strap and sanding and filing it to fit. No luck. What to do? There must be a number of reps that have proprietary straps and that can't be obtained. Any suggestions welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gigahertz15 0 Posted August 22, 2015 You should e-mail all the popular strap makers and see if they can make you something (don't see why they couldn't if you send them the original rep strap) Not sure what the watch is worth though, that will obviously be a factor.

porschespeedster 19 Posted August 22, 2015 this is Captain Obvious checking in. Did you try fitting a gen strap? Yes, that might cost more than the watch...but it's an idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BentleySharp 0 Posted August 22, 2015 Ok. A couple ideas... Like Porschespeedster said above, you could buy an OEM branded strap. Will cost more, but also will probably make your watch look that much cleaner. You could check out some of the better strap makers. Most of them specialize in leather and exotic animal skins. There is a list at the bottom of the TD list. I've had personal experience with Gunnystraps and ABP Paris. The later can be pricey but their work is renown to be excellent. The last option is keep trying M2M although, because your watch is of a somewhat uncommon veriety it might be awhile until you find a replacement. This is just another example strengthening my claim that one or more of these entreprenuering TDs should begin selling a wide selection of rep straps and bracelets from the factory a la carte. I'm predicting a lucrative side business here for someone set up with the contacts to do it... Jus sayin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
