Tempomat rubber strap for submariner 41

Has anyone got a Tempomat rubber strap on his submariner 41?

https://tempomaterials.com/collectio...er-41mm-straps

Can you share some pictures please? Also from the side - not on the wrist - if possible. Do the straps pull straight down from the lugs - similar to RubberB's - or
are they more like Everest straps in that regard?
Would you recommend Tempomat rubber straps quality wise?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Got one, not even the clasp is branded, collects dust like 3rd grade silicone... do not go into that direction for that price. You can get 5 straps from Aliexpress for that price and most probably they are made in same factories.

Speaking for myself would never put a rubber strap on any watch especially watches like the Subs they look and function better on original bracelet.

I honestly think that the rubber strap vendors know that just about every Rolex owner will try at least once. Appropriately, their business model is based on that fad reality. Likewise, after the initial novelty of fitting rubber, say anything from 60 seconds to 24h, I would bet (like me) 99% of people realize it looks stupid and quietly revert back to the bracelet. Kudos to those willing to admit their dust collecting mistakes.

85 euros?

(Deep, deep sigh) And once again i'm labelled as a 1%'er. It's not easy being a 1%'er ya know. We must represent and properly uphold the lifestyle and traditions that have been celebrated over the generations. We are the culture of 1%'ers, and that must be respected :)

Enjoy your time.

Sorry, I used the wrong term but it is also correct. It attracts dust like cheap silicon but it now it also collects dust at the same time. ;)

Here is how it looks like IRL.

Awful straps imo. Had one and it's now long gone. Rubber B a millions times better.

I must be a 1%er as well. But I'm ok with that. I have my Bluesy on a Rubber B and wouldn't wear it any other way.

OP - get yourself a quality rubber strap like Rubber B or Everest. They do not collect dust on the band.
