I think its nice. Gives it a fresh look. I especially like that it incorporates the clasp. Very cool.

RubberB makes a nice bracelet. Looks good.

Soon it will become a must. Rolex works on it, with a special attention for us, the comfort padding.

Don't buy compatible, wait for the original Rolex one. Soon at your AD's shop :

Looks great!!!

I want my dad to get a Everest or Rubber B for his GMT. He doesn't like the feel of the Rubber B though. I don't mean to hi-jack this thread but, does anyone have a picture of a TT Black Dial (Sub or GMT) with a Rubber B? Thanks!

Inside joke... sorry!

I think the GMT IIc looks better on a leather strap. That is not to say that yours looks really good. I am considering rubber B for my 1680...

Not feeling it, makes it look like a Tissot or something of the sort.

I'm a fan of the Rubber B. Especially for a DSSD.

I like it for when you want to give the bracelet a rest. I have ordered one as well for my Sub.

if this is accurate (which it looks), i'm not surprised rolex is taking this in-house. but i am surprised they didn't get into this earlier...

could this be the start of the "welcome to rolex, we'll throw in an extra strap, but the price of the watch is msrp" experience... a la Panerai...?

I like that you incorporated the clasp into the band looks good. I've seen some NATO's that I really like on the GMT II

Good quality rubber strap, I'm impressive on how good it looks and fits.

Personally, I alternate my SS GMT with a leather NATO strap, rubber doesn't seem to suit me as well.

I like the idea in theory but in photos it makes me dislike the new maxi-case even more.

Not a fan of rubber at all I'd even be very hesitant with leather as well. It cheapens such a beautiful piece. However you paid for it so enjoy
