·Here you are. They are located on the Island of Cypress, but I received mine from him in 6 days. Wonderful service, many colors and ships right away. Family owned. No affiliation, after many months looking, finally found one that fits perfect.

·Beware though… According to the product description, these are silicone, not rubber (and no - I’m not being pedantic).

·OK, thanks. But I am new to all this, could you please let me know why Silicone is bad VS rubber.
Thanks I appreciate your input, I really do not know.

·I wouldn’t say silicone is necessarily “bad”, but it’s definitely the less “noble“ material for straps…
I’d say the three most evident differences in favor of (FKM or natural) rubber are:
- the “touch” on the skin (hard to describe),
- how it ages (especially under UV),
- that it doesn’t attract lint.
