My new Rubber B strap for the Sub C Glide lock buckle arriver today.
Had it put on at my AD.
I had a Rubber B on my 39mm Explorer. It was ok.
THIS strap is much different. It is more flexible in areas the other strap needed to be. Perfect for the Glide lock too.
I am glad i gave Rubber B another chance.

Thats a smooth look! Nicely done!

Robrob777 · 2 June 2016, 04:41 AM

Looks good.

yannis · 2 June 2016, 04:42 AM

Looks great with the Glidelock!

michaeli3 · 2 June 2016, 04:49 AM

as far as rubber goes i always thought the Rubber B product looked great.
My concern was flexibility. This strap is just different. It bends where it needs to and has an entirely different feeling on my wrist than my other Rubber B strap.

and.....the glide lock is great with it

SemperFi · 2 June 2016, 04:54 AM

Looks great Michael. Wear it in excellent health.

SemperFi · 2 June 2016, 05:07 AM

I have one on my Explorer. No issues so I'm happy with it.

Psmith · 2 June 2016, 05:12 AM

Looking good

dsn112 · 2 June 2016, 05:12 AM

Based on your previous experience why didn't you try Everest this time? Most reports are that it is softer and more flexible. Glad this one is better for you though.

michaeli3 · 2 June 2016, 05:15 AM

thats a fair question. I liked the slim profile and more defined edges on the Rubber B.

Thought that looked better on my watch. That's just in my eye.

Congrats! Had the same choice and went with Rubber B (w/their clasp) for the ceramic Sub ND daily beater. Very comfy and love the feel over the heavier stock metal band.

looks good! I am having trouble choosing between rubber b and Everest

My recommendation to you, without thinking too much...

is to definitely get the Rubber B Strap! Much better quality, greater look! it is amazing!!

I am in love with mine...

michaeli3 · 2 June 2016, 05:34 AM

i had a Rubber B Strap for my 39mm Explorer. It was a nice strap but it was a little stiff in some areas where i wanted more bend.
This new strap, has more flex and comfort in it, to me.

Boaters · 2 June 2016, 05:42 AM

Looks great congrats

SoonerTA · 2 June 2016, 05:43 AM

Looks Great!

WAK4 · 2 June 2016, 05:44 AM

Wow, looks great...I may have to consider one myself!

BNA/LION · 2 June 2016, 03:52 PM

Nice!

Where can I get one? If I have an older Sub, I'll need to source a Glide lock too?

They offer an option of one fitting on your existing clasp, or one that comes on a tang.

Normally I'm not a fan of rubber straps but that is outstanding!

ptxl · 2 June 2016, 08:27 PM

Very nice.

1William · 2 June 2016, 08:31 PM

Nice.

michaeli3 · 3 June 2016, 04:14 AM

I've worn the watch with this strap all day yesterday and all day today.
I am impressed by two things. Its very comfortable wear. The watch feels good on my wrist. Also, the watch has stayed where i like it to be on my wrist, rather than sliding around. I have spent almost no time adjusting the watch at all today.
I love the Rolex bracelet, but, this Rubber B does wear really well.

luvsub · 3 June 2016, 04:19 AM

Nice change, looks good.

Bulliondesk · 3 June 2016, 04:36 AM
