Tropic question
Anyone have any idea how much this strap is worth? Just found it in my strap drawer - doesn't look used. I'll never wear it, so might as well add $$ to my grail fund

Re: Tropic question
WatchRecon shows a vintage 20mm just sold for $95. I’m guessing that is about the market price for these
Here is a link to the sale: https://omegaforums.net/threads/straps- ... nn.123970/
Re: Tropic question
should bring $100 +/-

Re: Tropic question
Hey Paul,
Can you post up the lengths? Tail end looks a tiny bit shorter than normal (and I hope that's the case!).
Could maybe put this to use in my polaris strap collection...

Re: Tropic question
Will do! It’s in my safe at work so I’ll get to it first thing tomorrow. I believe it’s short

Re: Tropic question
Concur. I just paid $95 for a 20mm straight “long” ...hard to get that combo and was happy to pay that. Seen a few go around 200-300 on eBay.

I didn’t even know the old school tropic came in 22. Very cool.

Re: Tropic question
Sorry, a little late to the conversation. Genuine Tropic prices vary widely. From the reasonable $100. or so like Mike paid, to the ridiculous $200.-$300. + on ebay. For some reason, 22mm versions seem to sell for a little less than 20mm ones. Probably because 20mm is a more common lug size on vintage divers.

Re: Tropic question
I’m not going to lie I’m a little weirded out by using an old rubber or leather strap for some reason. I guess at least with rubber it would be fairly easy to fully clean, but it weirded me out so much that I bought a new ISOfrane instead of used the last time. I guess I’m a bit of a germaphobe. For whatever reason a properly cleaned used bracelet doesn’t both me. I don’t think I could ever wear a preowned NATO either.
Cool to see how long these old straps can last and they really seem to have some value.

Anyway, This one is gone!
