I will probably try one at some point, especially if some aspect of the RubberB ends up annoying me. Relative to the cost of the watch, after market straps - even high end one like this - I feel are a low relative cost, and if they improve enjoyment, that's cheaper than acquiring more watches.

But anyway, this is my first day with the SDC and my first day with RubberB. I'll report back after the watch has had a few weekends' worth of (ab)use.
I agree. The bracelet is obviously the best option and likely most comfortable IMO, but I love putting perlon, NATO, and rubber straps on mine to change it up. It's like wearing a new watch for a fraction of the cost of a new Rolex haha.

The Rubber B looks great. I may go with a black Rubber B for the SDc and go with a blue Everest when I get the BLNR.
