Review on Genuine Luminox Replacement Rubber 8800 by Antonio Fox

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than the original strap

This replacement is OE quality or better. One of the two closure loops has a raised element that helps lock it in the notch on the strap and prevent the loop from slipping off. This used to be an issue for me on the original tape, so this is a nice design change. Another nice feature of this strap is that the channel where the pins are located in the strap is reinforced with metal (unlike the original strap). The strap doesn't include the new pins, but I've had no trouble using the old ones. Replacement was easy, even without a watch repair tool. I used a jewelers style flathead screwdriver. The fit and finish are good and I think this strap should be a little more durable than the original (it broke after less than 4 years of not very light daily use).

Pros
  • Material: Rubber
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
