Presentation of the Borealis Rubber Strap

[Borealis Watch Admin]

We have to sell first big part of current straps to think of more. Our margins are really low so we have to keep ourselves calm in order not to damage long term.

To remove bezel you can use a knife if you know what you're doing or a tool similar to this one

How about a white or maybe color gray rubber strap?

 

[Borealis Watch Admin]

Thank you for the inputs but at this stage that will be difficult as we have to first recoup investment made.

I purchased one of these (black 22mm) and wear it with my Steinhart OVM.
This is a great strap!!

My 1st try at posting a pic. Here it goes. If this works - a pic of my Borealis rubber strap....

Very nice straps, getting great reviews. I will be ordering one of each

 

[Scribbldean]

I was actually trying to post a couple of pics of the strap but was having issues with my iPad copying the image links.
Trying again....

Not bad looking. How is it for attracting lint / dust?

I ordered some although I don't have them yet they shouldn't attract lint and dust because they aren't silicone. In my experience rubber straps never do attract dust only silicone straps

Thanks for the reply.

 

[Scribbldean]

Yes...Parkaboy is correct. The strap is natural rubber (versus silicon). It does not attract lint at all.
Also, I read on the Watchuseek forum that others reported this strap did not have the pleasant vanilla smell that other natural rubber traps have. But they were wrong. Mine smells pleasantly vanilla too!!!
I am very pleased with it.

Wow, prices are very nice for such straps! Congrats!

 

[igureta]

Fantastic. Pity you do not have it in 20mm too.
Thanks for sharing.

On my Sea Diver I am using an aftermarket Milanese strap, which makes it a completely different watch! Tomorrow you'll se in photos. It has become completely mad!!! Love

Yes I agree. The price on the Borealis rubber strap is fantastic for the quality!!!

Still waiting on mine. I read some reviews that say its stiff, was this your experience? Has it broken in?

EDIT: Also wasn't there a schematic pic somewhere? Anyone know where it is?

 

[Scribbldean]

Well I guess if I compare it to one of my silicone straps, yeah it is stiffer than that.
Trade off I guess.

But overall it is very comfortable to me. Has bent/molded to the bend of my wrist well so yes it has broken in nicely.

On the Watchuseek forum there are many arguments about its stiffness and/or quality versus the Isofrane strap. But I say whatever to that. The price difference between the two make it a no-brainer for me. I am very happy with mine.

Hi, do you guys feel this strap would fit shorter lugs like those on a Vostok Amphibia 100?

 

[sbmutz]

Great design! Good price, too. Would like to see it in a 24mm.

 

[RoadWarrior]

Very reasonable prices on these rubber straps.
