    Try Juelong Official Store on AliExpress. I bought some FKM rubber straps, including tropics, from them and I'm convinced it's where Watchgecko / Zuludiver get theirs from and charge £40. Outstanding straps.

    Have a look on Etsy for tropical straps, got a very similar one to that in orange for my Doxa a while ago and it's spot on

    I can send you one if it's 20mm you're after.
    Tried one on my great white but not for me.

    I can pop it in the post when I take the dog out later. Pm your address if any good.
    I don't want anything for it.

    This. I have 20mm and 22mm versions in black, green, red, white and grey. Most with QR spring bars. They are all great quality.

    Apologies for changing the subject slightly but I’ve heard of Aliexpress and Etsy and I’ve had a quick look for straps on both. However, are they generally okay to deal with or is it more a case of individual seller feedback etc, similar to eBay and some Amazon sellers?

    I've bought a number of items from AliExpress but would always check out the sellers reviews and amount of items sold before placing an order. They normally take between 2 - 4 weeks to arrive.

    Bought several items through Aliex' before the current political problems. Only had the one issue which was sorted quickly.
    Always check out feedback.
    Watch out for VAT and postal charges. I used to go with the inclusive tax paid postage so not to be charged extra handling fees by carriers.
    They do charge VAT on postage charges but I know not why.

    That is correct. VAT is charged on total price, including postage.
