Hello, can anyone tell me where I can find a replacement rubber strap (#140S) for my SuperOcean GMT - besides the AD? I've searched the net and ebay, and can't even find what size this is. Is it just too new? Thanks!!

eBay and grey market sites like AuthenticWatches are probably your only other sources, but invariably you won't make much of a saving over an AD by buying from the grey market, plus you run the gauntlet on eBay of landing a fake as rubber straps are very easy to replicate. If you are only buying the strap (and not the clasp as well), then AD prices aren't too bad.... and at least you know you are getting a genuine item.

It's also unlikely that these have reached the grey market yet as they are still a pretty new introduction.

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping to find a geniuine strap-only at mail order sight, mainly for the convenience, and secondly for the price. But maybe i'm better off just going to a dealer and asking them to order me one.

That's generally the case with straps unless you can find one with a private seller.
