SN0121 on Rubber Straps

22 points · submitted Dec 2023 by u/RoSpectre · General · archived

Showing a couple silicone band options for those who don't feel like shelling out for the SM one. I bought this fitted one just because I wanted a glidelock clasp to put on a Hruodland bracelet, and this band with clasp only cost a couple dollars more than just the clasp. Turns out the band fits the sn0121 really well. Spring bars are tight, but there's no gaps against the case.

It comes with three strap pieces; a short, medium, and long one, which is great because you can use whatever 2 fit best to get the clasp perfectly centered on your wrist.

It's pretty good but does collect dust. So go for a more expensive fluoro rubber or FKM version if that bothers you. Photo of the bracelet shows the clasp that comes with this band, and as you can see I put the hruodland clasp on this rubber strap and put the glidelock clasp on the bracelet.

I also have a picture of a ribbed rubber strap in thete that is pretty cool too... nice and thin, but does not have fitted ends.

Very nice wrist shots. The SN0121Ga looks terrific. And great info on a deployant strap. I have the same watch on a bracelet and will consider switching to a strap. Thanks!

Man the AR on that crystal seems incredible. It looks like you could reach in and touch the indices. Strap looks very cool as well

for the future searchers:

i got this from a different store but “same” item for my sn0121. the band is not terrible, but the blue was darker than advertised. it did fit my lugs well though with no gap.

the clasp was awful, came with rolex branding instead of no branding as advertised and the glidelock function did not work / was machined poorly. i had to do a refund to ali because clasp would not close. that said, the san martin on the fly clasp that comes with the sn0121 fits this strap (it’s a pin and collar on the san martin clasp fyi).

so if you want an OK silicone strap for very little that fits the case i’d say go for the strap only and swap the clasp.

Good advice. Maybe I'll try a SM clasp on mine if I keep it on the rubber.

My glide clasp is pretty good, bit it was impossible to open at first though and I stupidly tried to take it apart to see if something was stuck. When I took out the spring bar it launched a tiny little washer off somewhere and I can't find it. So I had to put a piece of plastic in there and now it doesn't work as well lol.

That looks exceptional. I hadn’t even considered the black color but these pics have me rethinking! Really great looking on rubber.

hi can you try reposting the link to the silicone and the fkm option? link in the op is not working.

RoSpectre [OP] 2 points · Dec 2023

Really? It works for me... here it is again

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! C$6.24 40%OFF | For Rolex Black Blue Water Ghost Gmt 2 Panda Steel Aerial Overlord Yacht 20mm Silicone Solid Stainless Steel Buckle Watch Band https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMrURqc

I don't have a link for the Fkm version but I just remember seeing it while browsing. It will say either fluoro rubber or fkm in the title, and I think costs $10 to 15 more.

so weird i get n item can’t be found every time i visit the link. can you share the name of the store? maybe i can find it there.

RoSpectre [OP] 2 points · Dec 2023

Weird... the store is "watch quality factory store" but many places sell the same i think.

Maybe try searching the item name, or even just "for Rolex 20mm" or "for Rolex silicone" and it should pop up.

So bizarre. I can still see them. It's possible they don't sell to your location? Who knows how ali express manages vendors...

I guess just look for similar listings... it's a common product but just make sure it shows a glidelock clasp and not one with diver extension or regular micro adjust. Getting three strap pieces is nice too, to get a better fit.

i found a similar / almost identical listing here:

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $4.81 40％ Off | For Rolex Rubber Watch Strap Men Waterproof Sweat-Proof Black Green Water Ghost Gmt Daytona Log 20mm Silicone Replace Watchbands https://a.aliexpress.com/_mObb4Yy

do you remember if the glidelock style clasp is the “ms” or the “zg” type? lmk if you had that detail on your order and which you bought or if you know the difference between the two variations.

thanks for all your help!
