I was about to buy oem and before pressing purchase I looked this up and found your video. Oem looks better for the slim watch. The thick delugs strap doesn’t fit the thin profile of the watch. Oem for half the price and better rubber imo is a no brainer. Thank you for making this video. Can tell u favor the oem but didn’t wanna bash Delugs, well done, sir. Message received.
Absolutely not worth it. I also like the thickness of the Tissot strap vs Delugs, the pattern that matches the dial, and the keeper. The problem with the Tissot strap is that they come in a one size fits all, which does not work for my small wrist, whereas Delugs has three different sizes to choose from for their leather, two different sizes for their rubber, or you can purchase their CTS that can be cut to size, but I'm not to keen on that idea. This gives me no choice but to pop over to Delugs and pay the high price that they charge for seemingly no reason except for size. Had Tissot gone with a medium sized strap, rather than the large size, it might have worked, but Delugs it is for me...simply by default.
Great analysis--I'm going to pick up the black dial PRX auto on the matching rubber strap. I The pattern symmetry (which you mentioned) between the OEM strap and dial is perfect. I actually prefer the look of the watch on the rubber strap, as on the bracelet it seems like it's trying too hard to be noticed---a little too disco for me. Also, the bracelet has practical limitations in terms of sizing and the lug to lug distance it adds. I'm a little leery of the Powermatic movements based on some things I've read regarding servicing down the line, but this piece has me entranced at the moment.
@@williamduarte3998 No, it's a matter of personal taste. I don't profess to be an expert on anything, let alone watches. But I appreciate your attempt to initiate some inane and negative exchange.
Sucks they don't make the oem straps for the 35mm. Ive been looking for a waffle pattern strap for the 35mm everywhere but it seems like nobody makes them
I had no idea how flimsy the clasp was on the delugs band. I really prefer the clasp on the original tissot steel bracelet. Do you know if its possible to attach the tissot clasp to the delugs rubber strap?
Own Delugs, it's actually overpriced for a strap. Idk to feel sad or happy with it. Get Delugs's last year since the oem rubber haven't release yet by Tissot back then. 😂
Good review. The Delugs straps are FKM. I know that this type of synthetic rubber is very popular. However, it feels artificial to me. I prefer caoutchouc which is natural rubber. What type of rubber is the Tissot strap?
I have a lot (I’m talking like 10) FKM straps and the Delugs feel “different” to me. Like a different composition or something. And the OEM is like a silicone. Like a Barton strap
