Rubber B for Yacht-Master II released

Thoughts?

I think I'd be interested if it was easier to come by a second buckle for a reasonable amount of money ...

I like it. The blue/red and blue/blue look really good.

if you like the rubber option it looks nice

may be significantly top heavy and unbalanced with a watch that big and heavy

You would think! But it did IMO help the DSSD

Guess we need someone to try and let us know!

if i had the ss version I think the red or white accent stripe would look good. I have the TT and not really into the rubberb strap options for it

Looks pretty cool. No way I'd put the YG version on one, however.

Not a YMII fan, but that does actually improve the look, IMO. Gives it a more nautical flavour.

I like it with the SS version, not the TT or YG. Does anyone know what these rubber straps cost?

The blue stripe for the YG would look the best, I think.

Ditto

Is this release from Rolex? Does it have the same design features and texture as the strap on the new RG YM?

Hmm... Not something I would do on mine, however, looks interesting...

I think it is interesting as well. Navy w/white stripe would take my vote if I had this watch.
