Are 30MM Octo straps interchangeable?

Are aftermarket strap for the Octo Solotempo 101964 / Octo Finissimo SS 103297 / Octo Finissimo Titanium 102713 interchangeable? Wondered this for a long while... Aftermarket solotempo straps... Will this actually fit the SS models? ...

That's interesting... do you mean something like.... Seen these online before but don't think I would feel comfortable putting them anywhere near my watch. The finish and material seems very questionable. ...

I have looked online everywhere and wanted a rubber strap since I got this watch - 103297, only ever seen one company making aftermarket straps but not even sure those would fit - Does anyone make one off rubber custom straps? Has anyone ever tried to mak... 

One-off rubber is an oxymoron

Unless you carve it out of a different strap, OR you could make a mold and mold yourself one but that's so much work and the tensile strength would be questionable. I have modified a few but just by notching ends and so forth. Nothing anywhere near 30mm t...
