Ladies and gentleman,

I'm thinking of putting my GV on the black and green rubber b. Which clasp would you go for? The tang or use my own deployant clasp? What do those who have it use?

Personal preference, but I'd go with the Tang!

I added a poll Ian. This way you'll get a better sense of what has the most favor among the membership!

tang

jjnd08 · 20 March 2014, 10:30 AM

Rolex clasp.

Vipes · 20 March 2014, 10:38 AM

Tang is more convenient but there is a chance you may be between holes. I say go for the clasp.

ttomczak · 20 March 2014, 10:47 AM

Had one, the tang is better. Makes it more versatile and easier to switch back and forth.

busytimmy · 20 March 2014, 10:51 AM

Tang. Makes it a proper rough and ready watch as you won't be worried about banging up that beautiful OEM clasp.

justbrowsing · 20 March 2014, 10:57 AM

Lots of people like deployant clasp with a strap but personally I prefer a buckle.

nickb732 · 20 March 2014, 11:03 AM

Rolex clasp! Probably less functional, but looks better imo.

Thank you. I can't wait to see the results.

thsiao · 20 March 2014, 11:26 AM

I went with the tang. Was concerned the Rolex deployant wouldn't sit on the middle of my wrist and end up being uncomfortable.

yOyOYoo · 20 March 2014, 11:34 AM

I say tang buckle!

Old Expat Beast · 20 March 2014, 11:47 AM

Tang. More convenient, and let's be honest, no one else really cares how it looks, hidden away behind your wrist there.

CDNWatchNut · 20 March 2014, 11:49 AM

I like the tang buckle...the Rolex clasp looks out of place to me on a rubber strap.

QueueCumber · 20 March 2014, 12:21 PM

Tang was good enough for the astronauts....

I love your frankness and honesty!!

I'm happy you're doing this poll. I am in the same predicament. I just need to make time to head downtown to Matt Bailey's to pick it up!!!!

CWIN · 20 March 2014, 01:07 PM

I'd go deployant

gilv · 20 March 2014, 01:09 PM

Buckle - feels more like it's OEM Rolex.

Jay Tee · 20 March 2014, 02:10 PM

Have the tang myself; gives my wife the opportunity to hijack my Exp II once in a while!

subtona · 20 March 2014, 02:16 PM

I picked rolex clasp, i do not like rubberb's tang buckle.

I do very much like the isofrane strap as an alternate idea.

If you choose rolex clasp, i recommend 93250.

Ps i have had both variations of strap and have tried 3 different clasps (93250/93150/Exp clasp)

Therollex · 20 March 2014, 02:21 PM

Tang. Now just need to find head to put it on!

This happened to me with my rubber b, pia. I would still go with the tang buckle though.

Cc1966 · 21 March 2014, 12:40 AM

Rolex clasp for that factory feel!

mjclark32 · 21 March 2014, 01:18 AM

Tang for convenience

mjclark32 · 21 March 2014, 01:19 AM

BTW, my vote just put it at 34 votes each...

I broke the tie for you.

You're good to go now!

Mr Singh · 21 March 2014, 03:35 AM

where can you get these from in the UK? Tang looks better IMO, OEM is too industrial on a rubber strap
