Finally, the WG Rubber will not fit the SS, but other rubber will?!!?!?! I am waiting to hear if this is internal lange straps or only an external brand.

If anyone knows anything, please let me know!

Wow, i was suspecting they would do something like that once I saw the rubber strap attachment. They could have easily left the holes for the spring bar open so you could detach it.

Until we see one in person will be hard to see how they attache the strap/bracelet without being able to remove it afterwards.

I suspect if there are no openings, to remove the first linkage, may involve cutting it to access the springs bars.

Still as I have shown, there are not many aftermarket straps you can use on the odysseus due to the space.
