Best Rubber for 41mm Sub

I am not a huge fan of RubberB or Everest. Dont get me wrong, they are both high quality.

But I don't like the integrated end straps. I prefer either add end links or have a similar opening as the Rose Gold Yachtmaster.

I actually do have straps for the OysterFlex, but not certain that will work or look okay. In fact, I am pretty confident it won't fit, but I don't currently know the sizing of the lugs.

Curious if anyone has done anything or has any thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

There are straight ended straps for the sub on strapco.com. likely reselling aliexpress quality straps.
Horus offers straps for 21mm Sub.

appreciate it. I will check it out.

I did look at Horus earlier. they dont use the glidelock which I would very much like to keep. so I will keep searching. or maybe just bite the bullet and go rubberb.

Barton watch straps if you want something cheap but value much better than the price point would suggest.

Rubber B shark skin.

But of course I like Oysterflex best. Will fit. Look will be like yacht master with the gap against the case.

I have 126610LV on RubberB and I like it. The reason I put it on RubberB because I go diving with the watches. I don't want to bang bracelet on the boat or underwater leaving deep scratches on the bracelet.
