rsh Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I while back BK had posted a link to kickstarter where a new company was planning on a rubber strap for rolex sport watches. I signed up and finally after a few weeks, look what showed up. I would like to review the bands for my fellow watch lovers. I ordered 2, at the time they had an orange planned and a black. To my surprise, a green and black showed up which I actually prefer. I am told that the orange hue was not as desired so they will be redone. I may decide to keep the green instead, I love it. Let me start by saying, these things are have a very smooth texture, but not the sort of thing that lint sticks to, if you know what I mean. The strap feels very sturdy, not cheap as if it can tear if you pull on it. The spring bars hold the strap nicely in place. The thing I really like is the support shelf they built on to the inner aspect, as it hugs the rim of the case back and this keeps the REL (rubber End link - not SEL) firmly against the case so that no gap is ever seen. I purposefully have it on snug so that you can see how it keeps perfect tension on the watch head. This is ingenious really. The rubber size is something I was wondering about, like would they need different ones, etc ? Well it seems they made an average length such that the 7.5 inch wrist guy like me uses only one link besides the divers extension. If you have a small wrist, you can attach it to the divers link directly and then adjust the divers link in the clasp. I would think that the smaller wristed guy will like it more as the original link probably wont be used. Either way it looks great. I did place the green one on the LV but I was a bit turned off by the greens not matching. But I love the green on the Black sub as it is simply gorgeous. BTW the last thing I want to say is that the swapping is so easy. My sub's metal bracelet is not so easy at times, but this is a breeze because there is plenty of room on the sides to access the spring bars. Nice product, enjoy the pics....

highoeyazmuhudee Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 love that last pic, very nice and a nice change from SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Definitely like it Rudy! I have been thinking about one of these for a change of the overall feel of the watch. Thick Zulu straps don't go well into a gen spec sub. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
