    Rado Original Diver

    Does any know about a Rado or OEM rubber strap for this watch?



    It came preowned and the S/s bracelet is either too big or too small for my wrist dependant on link removal.

    Thanks

    I had this watch for three years, it is very well made. The tunsten carbide is highly polished, almost like a mirror so I always felt a rubber strap would not suit it. I am not really answering your question but I hope my comment helps.

    I know it's an old thread but you can get a 1/2 link for these?

    Also, did you find a rubber strap in the end?

    Thanks,

    Hi Alistair, never managed to find either a 1/2 link or rubber. Its tempting to by a RW () on a rubber and used the rubber on mine. The RW complete would probably be cheaper then an OEM Rado rubber anyway.

    Thanks, I do have a 1/2 link for mine so they are available. The fitting is unusual in that the link goes next to the clasp and looks like an extension to the clasp. It also needs different size pin and tubes. Any idea whether the RW strap is available on its own?

    Sound like a faf having a half link, I am tempted to email on line suppliers of RW's and see if they have any separate straps, I have done it for the speedy and got a deployment

    I'll let you know,
