Yep from China and my guess is approx a couple weeks since its standard air mail.

Just to add a few points to Danny's review which may be helpful. I received my lemon yellow strap this week and it took less than ten days from Hong Kong to England. They seem to have addressed the tyre smell issue as mine doesn't really smell at all. It does have a faint vanilla smell but you really need to put it to your nose to smell it at all. Pam called me perverted for sniffing my watch strap :lol: I noticed in Danny's pics that the strap had the Obris web site address stamped into the back but mine doesn't. Also,it doesn't attract lint whatsoever.Nearly forgot to mention,they have two shades of yellow strap now,Lemon yellow and warm yellow. My overall impression is that for the price it can't be beaten. :thumbsup:

Thanks for adding the info. Good news regarding the smell. I should have mentioned that the 20mm straps have the web address and ribs and the 22mm ones do not (not sure the reason one size had them and the other doesn't)

Since it has been impossible to find a Yellow Iso pre-owned I figure I'll try the Obris Yellow as my intro to the brand. At $18 bucks I don't think I'll be disappointed. Placed an order today so I'll soon see if it is an adequate substitute, and based on this review it should be. Can't wait! ;)

I had originally seen your write up on WUS and ordered a 22mm in red. They are very comfortable, and for the price they're hard to beat. Did have to use the last notch for my 7" wrist, so could be an issue with smaller wrists. Didn't notice any tire or vanilla smell though, but that could just be me.

No smell on the ones I ordered either, but they are too big for my close to 7" wrist. Last notch is too loose and using the first big "square" is too tight. Its too bad because Iso's and my helsonfrane fit just fine.

Will try to send them back or put them for sale here over the weekend. Great quality for the price and dig the available colors.

I just got a blue OM from DaveT and I have to say for the price they are new it is a cool strap. Just you can't wear it if you are under a 7 inch wrist. The strap also seems harder in rubber materiel than the Iso so it doesn't flex much.

Great deal imo.
