Recently I picked up a blue tang style RubberB strap to try on my BLRO, for a change of pace bracelet to the jubilee and it absolutely doesn’t disappoint. From a quality and attention to detail perspective, this strap sure does surpass its competition. Sure, you pay a pretty penny for all of that...but when you’re putting it on a 5/10/15/20k watch you get what you pay for and you’ll want to feel confident that the strap is going to last and securely hold the watch head. This strap certainly has a premium feel and look to it, one with proper care I'm betting with last for years to come. One thing that RubberB includes in the packaging that I haven't seen before to help you with this is a white rubberb eraser...while not a costly addition, it's a thoughtful one. The shape of RubberB strap and how it integrates into the watch head is perfection with all the lines completely coming together. IMO, this is about as close as you can get to the look and feel of a Rolex manufactured strap without it being an Oysterflex. I won’t dime out any other companies but when I showed the watch on the strap to my wife, even she commented how it looked better than the others I’ve tried.
The quality of the strap itself and the tang buckle is great...and I think it looks darn good with the Pepsi colors! I've tried black straps on the BLRO before and this color just blends with the bezel and case shape much better imo. It’s unrealistic to compare the jubilee and a rubber strap as equals but after trying this on my Pepsi I know it’ll surely have a place in the lineup...it looks great and feels even better on the wrist! Finally, my interactions with the customer service folks over at RubberB about the compatibility and fit of the strap to the watch was a great experience...they were timely, professional and extremely quick to get the strap to me. Including the day I ordered it, it was at my front door in three short days. In short, I highly recommend this strap and the brand to anyone looking for a high quality strap to compliment their GMT or any other Rolex for that matter! And now, for some photos!
