TAG Heuer Pendulum strap replacement

24093836207_b40ee22b0e_b.jpg

Hello all.
Strap on my TAG pendulum broke so I was looking for some replacement.
I have found one on ebay (THIS ONE) so I click buy. I looks like it was only 24mm TAG Pendulum strap on ebay so there was not many options to choose from. There are some 22mm versions so make sure about your size before purchase.

Package was sent from Turkey and contains this:

New strap is matte and not glossy and has different feel. Also “TAG Heuer” writing is not very similar to original strap. Letters are bigger and not that crisp (old on the left).

Edge of the strap is not that rounded.

OK strap is on.

Problem of this strap is that it has not got perfect fit to the case. There was no problem with this with original one. When you push on new one you can see this.

It is because of different strap quality on “case ends” and slightly different positioned holes for springbars. 
There is very little chance to see those gaps when you wearing watch (fortunately).

So now I can wear my favourite watch again.

If you have better source for replacement strap for this watch, please let me know.

Thanks.

I bought this watch when I first started out on reps over in turkey 2012

I changed her out for a leather rallye style and my step son has it now. 

The rubber strap is in my drawer with deployant. 

Cant really tell  whether it's like your original or not tbh.

I'm not wearing it at the moment. Thinking of getting a leather strap for it.

It's a rep, its a concept watch which Tag made but they never put it into production.

Can you give me the exact measurements of the strap you ordered?

Maybe get a gen strap for this... stops the rep issues arising. Or go for a curved end leather :)
