Their rubber straps use lousy materials; mine disintegrated from just being stored in a watch box (away from the sun) and very light casual use. I have been told that mine is not a unique experience. My Omega Planet Ocean rubber strap on the other hand has survived several years worth of use and still looks relatively new.
:o

You are lucky in that the BR01 has plenty of leather and nylon third party strap alternatives. My BR02 diver looks bad with third party straps (or even the Velcro alternative B&R includes) as the strap forms part of the watch casing.

I tried asking around in sincere and xxx timepieces in gardens but both were about rm600+. I asked why xxxgot it cheaper and was told that they kept stock and bought at the older price. I was so happy with the low price I immediately went back and changed my Seamaster PO to rubber silicon as well and I got it for a good price of under rm900 after discount.

The rubber strap for the b&r does not last long and deteriorates faster if you do not wear it often.
