That looks really sharp. Never seen a Rubber B on that specific Tudor.

I can’t get mine to fit properly as I’m struggling to get the spring bars to engage. It’s been so frustrating.

Anyone with a white Rubber B on their Rolex?
Thinking of getting one for a summer switch up for my 116710LN

Helpful YT clip that shows off white Rubber B strap.

I just got one for my SD4K and thought why not spice things up after being on the bracelet for a couple years. The one for the SD4k is way too hard to fit. It works if you slightly curve the spring bars (if you have a tool). Just slightly though and then you have to get the tip end in the lug hole. A bit tough but I managed to fit mine. I'd suggest to tape your lugs just in case. Feels good and sturdy

Rubber B is the best. Super comfortable

I think the red sets it off & gives it a really sporty look - perfect for holidays etc.

Do you have any more shots of it & maybe a wrist shot or 2 for further comparison?

Also, what are your thoughts on it does it make the watch any easier/more comfortable to wear for longer periods?

Thanks for any assistance with the above

(Apologies for hijacking your thread OP!)

No I ended up reaching out for a return. Will try the Everest strap this weekend.

It’s a shame because I have used and loved Rubber Bs on my other models.

Yeah we have one on a polar explorer. The white rubber catches blue streaks from my wife's jeans easily, but it comes off just as easily with a bit of water and a couple magic eraser wipes.

Not a Rolex, but I'm enjoying my Rubber B strap on the Tudor BB.



I'm seriously considering getting another Rubber B for my Submariner, but that Oysterbracelet is a bit too comfortable to take off that easily.

Finally got a Rubber B on my 14060m sub. Had the issue described above with a very difficult fit, so I actually put it in a drawer for about a year. Decided to give it another try and (with about half an hour of work) succeeded. Totally worth it - has made me fall in love with my Sub all over again.

What did you have to do to get it to fit? I want one for my 14060M as well, but now I’m a little nervous. LOL

It’s hard to explain in words without showing it in person but you essentially have to “bend” the spring bar into the lug hole. It is not as simple as getting it between the lugs and moving the strap until you hear a click.

I have two Everest straps being delivered later today (one rubber, one leather) so I’ll be able to provide a full comparison on both brands. I am hoping it won’t be as much of a struggle...

Thanks. Please let us know! Has anyone else here had the same problems with a Rubber B on a 14060M?

Yes. I have given up and using it on my 214270 for now. Maybe after the lockdown here in Singapore I might go and see if someone at the shop I bought it from is able to do it. It is a breeze to install on my 214270 and 116710, but so far unsuccessful on my 14060.

Definitely enjoying this Rubber B on the BBGMT. Also a great way to change up the look of a watch while waiting on harder to find watches to come through.
