Does anyone know of any rubber straps (tang or deployant) that will fit/work with a breitling leather deployant clasp. I know about the ocean racer and diver pro II straps with their own deployant, but I like the more understated buckle and the versatility to use a leather strap of the leather deployant clasp. Thanks!

I'm really unsure, but highly doubt rubber would fit throught the leather dep clasp.

No they definitely won't fit. Totally different fitting method.

Are you asking about an aftermarket non OEM rubber strap?

Anyone that's of good quality I love the Diver pro II and wonder if the tang version would fit, but I would definitely consider non OEM. I'm just investigating this before I go out and spend all that dough on a Diver pro II with deployant that won't work with any other straps. I thought if that a rubber tang strap would work on the leather deployant then I would have more versitility and could switch out between rubber, leather, or croc instead of being limited to just the Diver pro II on it's unique deployant.

I don't think the DPII is gonna work with the deployment, it's too thick I think. You might be able to find a thinner aftermarket one that would fit, but I'm not sure how quality it'll be. I'd just go with the DPII with the tang if you don't like, or want to spend for the rubber's deployment.
