Hi @jucarbon !
Yes, you asked a very similar question one year ago 馃槈
____________________

____________________
Now my older straps are more than two years old, but they all still seem new 馃憤, so we can confirm that TH rubber straps are better than B&R rubber straps 馃槈

I store most of them in 12 original strap boxes:


with five of the rubber straps taking turns in the official display:


I have more straps than boxes, so all leather straps have its own box


but rubber straps are stored two by two in their boxes


I just wash them from time to time with hand soap and water, brushing them with an old toothbrush.
This is the older of my rubber straps, more than 2 years old, and it looks like the first day:


and as flexible and soft as the first day. No signs of cracks at all 馃憤
Again.. I must fall asleep with that pics of fortune 馃槣

Next week, when the last buckle arrives, I have to prepare a new picture of my Modular collection after the latest additions: a brand new digital module (to keep it as a spare module), and 8 more buckles (4 titanium, 4 black ceramic) so that all straps will have their own buckle 馃え 馃榿

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long.

I pulled Luxury box out of my warehouse today and took a picture.

It's what @Albert-AMG wanted to see.

Yes, but the wait was worth it! 馃槈 Thanks for sharing! 馃榾

The Luxury box is amazing, and having the all three existing mechanical modules (Calibre 5, Calibre 16, and Heuer 02 Tourbillon) in your Modular collection is really great! 馃榾 Congratulations again! 馃憤

And it鈥檚 nice to see the Red Bull Racing Special Edition strap there... not easy to find either 馃槈

So you are still on the hunt for the red rubber strap with logo, right?

Yes, from the BMC cycling team! It鈥檚 also missing in my Modular collection. I found the yellow rubber strap with logos from the BMC team, but not the red one. I guess it鈥檚 also very difficult to find...

Let me check with the BMC racer i bought mine from to see if he knows anyone that would want to part from it. It's a long shot but you never know...

I spotted the US-only orange with logo on eBay a few days ago and was going to flag it to you but alas it disappeared when I went back to find it again. I'll continue to keep an eye out.

Great collection. Nice to see you have some spare smartwatch heads also to extend the usage of your collection before going fully mechanical. I think if looked after and charged biannually the spare heads could see you though 10 years. I recommend anyone to pick up a few head only deals on eBay when you still can. Ok I鈥檝e gone a bit overboard with 8. That reminds me I have my watch therapy session for compulsion buying this afternoon

Yes, it鈥檚 a good idea to buy one (or more 馃榿) of these smartwatch head only that we can find for sale, just to swap them if our current one has battery or screen problems (it鈥檚 cheaper than repairing it, or than buying a complete watch).

I found on eBay a brand new smartwatch head only (titanium case with black ceramic bezel) still with the blue stickers, and I keep it stored -with battery charged at 80%- as a spare head unit. I鈥檓 using the other three smartwatch heads (another titanium case with black ceramic bezel, the full black titanium/ceramic Kingsman case, and the Alec Monopoly titanium case with silver steel bezel), so I hope to enjoy the collection -not only with the mechanical modules- during many years 馃憤

Please post pictures here of your Modular collection, including the 8 heads! 馃榾 馃憤

Sure, when I find time I want to do that. My long term aim however is when the module fails I want to attempt to open it and try to build my own watch with a dial and automatic movement that fits inside. Ambitious maybe, but I鈥檇 like to try. I鈥檇 then end up with 8 automatic watch heads. I won鈥檛 know if it鈥檚 possible until the first head fails however.

That鈥檚 an interesting project 馃榾 You could name it #connectingtoeternity 馃槈
If you want to put a chonograph movement inside, then you will need to make two extra holes for the chrono pushers... on a titanium case. Not easy but challenging 馃憤

Think it鈥檚 safer to stick to non chronographs here. You would need good tooling to make the extra holes look professional. There are many faces for 2824 based watches , try to stick with tag theme but you could put any make in of the right dial size, but who knows it鈥檚 possible to have the first tag, rolex and omega modular watch. Worth a try in my book when the modular heads die, can鈥檛 lose anything. I prefer the #PhoenixInfinity range, the watch that rises from the ashes to be reborn , if anyone has already got a dead module head they want to sell let me know, I obviously don鈥檛 want to operate on a living watch
