Does anyone know what replacement bands I can get for my Gabbiano 90 TRB (2009)?

Do I have to buy seatec ones or do other manufacturers make Seatec / Gabbiano specific ones?

Bro I use H.Dessault bands on my Gabbiano Trb and had NO problem at all with screwing the threads into the Trb muzzle fitting. The H.Dessault went smooth into it. Any Omer will do good as well, but the Dessault are better IMHO.
I'm told you can avail H. Dessault rubbers from Apnea.co.uk.

Thanks buddy! I noticed the discussion on the Dessault rubbers at Apnea.

I've got the 20mm seatec rubbers at the moment which have the specific 20mm rubber TRB mount (thing you screw them into) - I'm presuming I'd need to buy 20mm Dessault rubbers for that? Or is that a bit obvious? :duh
 

ALARM! ALARM! ALARM!

I'm afraid it's more complicated than I thought.

You should know that the old TRb muzzle models where sold in 2 versions: with the odd, older style 20mm screws, and with the standard 16mm screws.
You don't have to consider the rubber thickness, but the size of thread fitting.

If (I said IF) you have the 20mm thread type of rubber mount fitting (sadly, the odd type) there are only Seatec and Omer still manufacturing rubber with 20mm threads. Otherwise, you buy the 16mm threaded muzzle fitting, and live happy with any standard rubbers you wish to mount.

The user friendly 16mm threaded rubber mount:
Testina portagomme d.16mm : Tutto Pesca Mare
The odd mothaffuggin 20mm threaded rubber mount:
Testina porta gomma 20mm : Tutto Pesca Mare
 
Ah ha! I didn't think it would be so easy!

Huge thanks for your help - I'll order myself a 16mm rubber mount!

Here's a tip: Order two. When the unthinkable happens and you loose your bands and clip in bad vis (as i did last summer) it would be nice to have a spare in the car!
 

Thanks for the

Thanks for the info Spaghetti on where to purchase the 16mm threaded rubber mount. I have an older version of Gabby which uses the 20mm threaded mount and I got say it a real pain trying to find rubbers to fit that mount. I was actually looking at alternatives on other websites and clicked on a link that directed me to this forum.

On another note I saw a picture of another mount for the Gabby which carries two pairs of threaded rubbers. Are you aware of such and know where I can purchase one? Please note that I am aware of a mount that uses the tie-in style for the bands which also allows for two pairs of bands to be used but I not talking about that one rather another mount that uses the threads instead of the tie-in style for the bands.
