Rubber B advice please

I have a Sub 16613 fitted with a rubber B strap which I find nice and comfortable.
I have just bought a planet Ocean which I would like to fit with one. I understand that they don't make one for the PO but my question is has anyone modified one to suit an Omega and if so which one and was it successful.
Thanks

Youd think the relationship between the curvature of the lugs compared to the position of the springbar holes would be different and it wouldn’t sit right :dunno:

Have you tried the rubber that belongs to it ?

I think the reason we like rubber b so much is because its made specifically for each model, that's why the fit on the watch is perfect. I wouldn't get a strap and mess around with it.

Why don't you try contacting Omega? you might be able able to get an OEM. Will be more expensive than Rubber B but its worth the shot.

I've heard from several people that it can work on the speedy but the case on the PO is different. It won't fit.
