Rubber B vs Everest for Sub rubber strap

[ian.thomas]

I finally broke down and bought a Rubber B - it arrived today. I held off for years because of price and thought many times about getting something cheaper, but decided not to mess around after all the great reviews.

So far I really like it!

Here’s my Sub on an Everest. I like the integrated buckle option. The Everest seems to be a bit “gummier” than the Rubber B that I used to have for a Tudor. I don’t think you can go wrong either way though.

Everest on the left, RubberB on the right in the first pic.

Everest definitely has more adjustment available, having 9 holes to the RubberB's 7 holes.

Softness of the rubber is very similar. Fitment on both is about identical imo. However, the everest when installed on a submariner seems to put undue pressure on the bottom side of the bezel making it harder to turn.

My DSSD is pictured with a red rubberB. I have not tried an everest strap on a dssd yet.

The 114060 is pictured with a black rubberB utilizing the original oyster clasp.

I would agree. Everest is good but Rubber B's look, feel, and durability is just better.

Looks great, did the same on my GMT-LN

Completely subjective. I had both, returned the RB for an Everest, much better for me.

Rubber B vs Everest for Glidelock - toss up based on wrist size.

Rubber B vs Everest for EasyLink - Everest, if you want to keep EasyLink function.

Everest doesn’t offer strap that is Easylink compatible for my 216570. I had to go with the Rubber B option. Definitely not disappointed.

I've tried RB and Everest and am happy to have stayed with the Everest, fit is perfect and unlike RB no cutting involved, you order it based on the number of links in your standard bracelet. I also don't like the somewhat cheesy "molded endlink" shoulders on the RB's.

I think the Rubber B is definitely worth it in the end. I believe their materials and construction are just better. Here's my YM. Love the look on your GMT though!

I actually didn't mind the cutting for Rubber B. Helps me get the exact fit I want.

Is cutting a big deal though? A lot of the big brands do it, like Patek or Piaget. I have no problem with it if it helps the watch fit more ideally.

Late to the party, I know, but another thumbs up for Everest. Apart from the strap, Everest customer service and communication puts RubberB in the corner. Everest are a pleasure to deal with.
