Installation of Submariner RubberB with Glidelock

[EEpro]

After looking at and seriously considering some oysterflex YMs and Daytonas I decided to try this RubberB product and see how it suits me long term before being stuck with a very expensive watch on rubber only.

I'm a huge huge fan of the brushed oyster bracelet so I'm sure this won't last but I have the Daytona on PCL oyster and I'm hoping to alternate between these two for as long as I can.

The RubberB size selection is based on your oyster bracelet link count and includes the solid end link. I chose 6,7 or size L to match my oyster bracelet as shown in the first pic.

Once the buckle was removed from the bracelet I removed the bracelet from the watch head using the horofix tweezers. I taped off the lugs using kapton tape.

I found that the RubberB installed best when I spun the watch head opposite how I would normally install a metal oyster bracelet. The steep, near-90 deg angle of the RubberB necessitated that.

Overall it is a very well made product that fit perfectly and is supremely comfortable when combined with the glidelock clasp.
