The Invicta Sub Aqua III Limited Edition F0060 came with an original poly strap. After being stored in watch case, maybe worn once…the watch was recently taken out of the case for change of battery and as many posting here, the strap had crumbed in several locations. This also happened with my Invicta Sub Aqua III Limited Shark Edition.

I would appreciate any suggestions towards F0060 strap replacement. And has anyone ever had conversations with ANY Invicta rep regarding this problem with those early poly straps?

Thanks much for only those that can speak directly to my questions.

You would have to use the inserts from the original strap.

Price:
US $15.90 - 17.40 / piece

Amazon has them as well if you didn't want to use aliexpress, but they are probably coming from overseas anyhow from the seller.

I say get a good strap and use an exacto and a keen eye and mod one up
 
If you search for "Invicta watch strap breaking" you will probably be on the internet all day. So yes there are a multitude of stories of straps crumbling when never being worn. And I would go with Mike on this. Those replacement straps are silicone which should have a bit longer shelf-life.
 
I gave up on replacing my SANIII strap every few years and bit the bullet and bought a stainless steel bracelet for it. That was about two years ago and I couldn't be happier with my choice.
