Considering a Kirium Ti5 Mclaren, but the price is a bit steep. Might settle for a regular Ti5, non-Mclaren. As an uber-F1 fan, I need this watch.

I am tempted to purchase one of those silicon straps for $29.95 on ebay. However, a quick check of the seller's feedback shows a high number of dissatisfied purchasers of the strap. Hmmm...
Anyone else got any ideas where to get a good affordable rubber strap for the Kirium? I can't afford paying over $300 for 2 pieces of rubber.
That's bad news... I have a Kirium F1 on steel bracelet, and I have thought of buying that rubber off ebay... Although I did not expect it to be as good as the original, I didn't think it would be that bad. From the comments you saw, can you tell what the complaints are ?

The complaints revolve around the strap being of poor quality and breaking / tearing in less than a week.
I bought this new in 2004, it's only just on it's second battery. Very reliable and very accurate.

In my collection I have a number of watches.
Bought a few, flipped a few.
The only people that understand are the ones reading this signature.
Got to love the solid build and kirium style, but I have to admitt the cost of tag bands and parts are far out of control. I'm currently looking for some quality bands for a few and it looks like I might get stuck with having to buy the originals. Great looking watches guys, keep them coming.
My Kirium, worn regularly & loved for the understatement & F1 tie-in (Huuuuuge McLaren Fan esp. late 90's)
