cjeffers58 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Just got my rubber b from Andrew for my mbw 1680, just couldn't pay 220 for a strap from Rubber B. Not to bad for 65 bucks
freddy333 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Well done. Unfortunately, I got 1 of the 1st gen straps B put out & paid the price.
SSTEEL Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Looks tidy, what deployment does it have, and has it a Coronet on the buckle?
freddy333 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 You fit the watch's original clasp & end links to the ends of the B strap. Here is the gen B on my GMTIIC
SSTEEL Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) @Freddy - Aha, cool, I did not know this was possible. Just goes to show, I've not looked into straps that much before, as I know it will cost me more money lol Edited March 12, 2013 by SSTEEL
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 How is the strap? Does it attracts dust? It's dust free its a nice rubber strap for sure!
mil04 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 It's dust free its a nice rubber strap for sure! Thanks for the info For some reason I can't find it on his website. Do you have a link to it or should I just ask him?
correctime Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 I've went to Rubber too. And I was using a Rubber B until these came along. Vulcanized like the Rubber B but with a "floating" SEL for better comform. Don't get me wrong...the Rubber B is nice............ .......but these are nicer for half the price http://everestbands.com/

Its under his rolex section, then accessories http://www.ttw168.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_89 Price 65$
freddy333 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Ordinarily, I do not like rubber or cloth straps on sports watches. But most of Rolex's recent models are way too blingy & I cannot bring myself to brush the GMTIIC's polished links. So the 'B is a nice compromise, even if it does detract from the overall appearance of the watch. I have to say, however, that the white Everest on the white EXII is stunning for casual wear (I would never try to pull-off a rubber band with a suit)
cjeffers58 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Posted March 12, 2013 Had it on for 8 hours now, no dust issues so far.
drueb Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 rubber b pics (how do I post them - I see no paper clip to click on?) My impression...Nice quality, velvet smooth, looks durable without looking bulky. I would not have anything less for my 1986 Submariner...which I have had since new. Is it worth $240 (?)...yes, if it is the only one out there that looks this good, and presumably last as long as advertised. It would be nice if Rolex would partner with this company to supply straps...so it could have the Rolex insignia embossed on the band/clasp similar to the Tag Aquaracer...which one would know is special just by seeing the watch from the side or bottom while on a wrist.
