A black rubber watch strap can look like a straightforward purchase, but the important decision is matching the strap's stated width, buckle setup, and watch family to your own watch. Here, the Blancpain option is tailored to a Fifty Fathoms configuration, while the black aftermarket option is named for several Rolex models. That makes compatibility-not color-the central choice.
Quick verdict
Pick the Authentic Blancpain STD OEM Fifty Fathoms Black Rubber Strap 23/20mm Standard when you have the listed Blancpain Fifty Fathoms fitment and want the stated 23 mm-to-20 mm strap and BP buckle setup. Pick the 20mm 21mm Black Rubber Strap Fits for Oysterflex Daytona Datejust Sub Yacht GMT when your watch is among its named Datejust, Daytona, Submariner, Yacht, or GMT Master models and a 20 mm band width is the relevant measurement.
The listed prices are $117.01 apart. The Blancpain strap is the more model-specific choice; the black aftermarket strap covers a broader group of named Rolex models and is listed at the lower price.

Where each strap wins
The Blancpain strap wins on a focused Fifty Fathoms configuration. Its stated compatibility is specifically Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, and its dimensions taper from 23 mm at the lugs to 20 mm at the buckle. The included BP buckle detail also makes it the more complete listed hardware configuration of the pair.
The black Oysterflex-fit strap wins on its wider named Rolex-model coverage and listed price. It is identified for Datejust, Daytona, Submariner, Yacht, and GMT Master models, rather than one Blancpain model. Its 60+75 mm band length is also stated directly, while the strap is described as black without buckle.
Product notes
Authentic Blancpain STD OEM Fifty Fathoms Black Rubber Strap 23/20mm Standard
This is the focused choice for a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms because it is identified as Blancpain OEM and compatible with that model. The two-piece black rubber format has clearly stated 23/20 mm dimensions: 23 mm at the lugs and 20 mm at the buckle. Its 130/70 mm length and 20 mm BP buckle make the configuration especially straightforward for someone seeking those exact stated specifications. The limitation is its narrow model focus. The listed Blancpain compatibility and 23 mm lug measurement point this strap toward a Fifty Fathoms setup, not the Rolex-named models covered by the other option.
20mm 21mm Black Rubber Strap Fits for Oysterflex Daytona Datejust Sub Yacht GMT
Choose this black rubber strap for the wider group of named Datejust, Daytona, Submariner, Yacht, and GMT Master models. It has a stated 20 mm band width and 60+75 mm band length, giving shoppers concrete measurements to match against their intended setup. Its lower listed price makes it the price-focused direction in this comparison. The key limitation is explicit: it is described as black without buckle. That separates it from the Blancpain strap's stated BP buckle configuration. It is also an aftermarket option rather than the Blancpain OEM strap named above.
Final choice by use case
For a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms with a stated 23 mm lug width, choose the Blancpain strap. For a named Datejust, Daytona, Submariner, Yacht, or GMT Master setup with a 20 mm band width, choose the black Oysterflex-fit strap. If having the stated buckle configuration matters most, the Blancpain option is the direct match; if the lower listed price and wider named model range matter most, the black aftermarket strap is the clearer fit.
