Recently purchased a CG1121-0 on a leather band. Love the look. BUT keen to get a strap that I can take in the water / exercise with - and leather is not it. (and I don't want the full metal bracelet either). I found ONE picture from 2012 with an aftermarket rubber strap that looks like the links bracelet, but in rubber - (see link for the exact watch, and the rubber strap)

No sign of them on Ali-Express or ebay - assume the model is too old for vendors to bother now.
Has anyone successfully modified a rubber strap (or canvas - e.g. nato??)? Was looking at buying a rubber strap and just cutting out the notches with a sharp knife.
Any experience / pictures / vendors would be much appreciated!

I've searched google images and forums and can find very little.

 

Wow, that rubber strap looks weird.... kinda neat idea, but personally I wouldn't be taking my 30 year old S/EL near the water. Each to his own though and I guess if it's pressure tested then why not.

 

I remember seeing those rubber aftermarket S/el straps back in the day. I almost bought one, but I always wear mine on leather and I figured I'd never use the rubber one. No idea where to get them now...

Senna wore his in water, guess he didn't care what might happen to the leather strap!

 

Not when you get them for free!
