LineSport Rubber Replacements

 
 By: Journe1304 : September 12th, 2020-17:19
I had a recent friendly exchange regarding rubber strap replacements for FPJ’s older LineSport models, with some having the understanding that OEM straps were no longer available from the brand. However, I obtained a new rubber strap for my Octa Sport a f...  

Thank you very much for sharing this

How can i order one? I contacted the boutique and told it is discontinued.

The only thing I can recommend is going back to the boutique and clarifying that you know you can’t get it right there in the store and instead you’re looking for them to order it from Switzerland.

Other than that, I’m as confused as you are—I went through a boutique to get mine. Due to the unique construction, I’ve never seen an aftermarket strap made in rubber, though I’d love to see it happen someday in another color, perhaps in red.

Thank you very much

I hope they know to stock enough parts for the next 50 years or offer a replacement if not available. These are not disposable watches. A high value watch needs support for many years. Also, I hope the cost of these parts will not be prohibitve. That bein...

I have very limited time this coming week so it may take a while before I get back with what I can find out.

No worries. I’m happy to do so.

It just may take some time 😊

... and Journe talks about longevity and maintainability

So Journe arrogantly waxes about no silicon so his watches can be serviced in hundreds of years but can’t easily support a new strap for recent production. This is a joke

Definitely not cool [nt]
