Man the way such costs thousands just buy the strap you like

I haven’t had Everest, I have had rubber b, not a big fan of rubber but it looked good and fitted as well as you could expect for a rubber strap. Prefer it over oyster flex at least.

"Rubber B’s factory also produces vulcanized rubber straps for other luxury brands such as Hublot, Audemars Piguet, and Omega to name a few."
How did I not know this?

I also have a $15 rubber strap from amazon and the quality is virtually identical to the $$$$ strap from Everest.

Just got this Everest. As you can see, good lug fit. Feels fine.

for me, paying $300+ for a "strap" is bit excessive and ridiculously over priced.

On the other hand, I've been using Barton Bands and have absolutely no complaints. Their nylon Natos cost around $15. Leather quick releases $29... and Leather Natos for $21. Haven't purchased their rubber straps yet. But for $21, I'm sure it'll hold up to the same standards as the other straps that I currently have from them.
