Replacing strap on blnr

Morning all.
I have a blnr and can feel my attention wandering. In an effort to postpone the
inevitable I am thinking about changing the bracelet out for something different. I've never done anything like that to a watch before.
Is it easy? Can anyone recommend aftermarket straps?
Thx!

RubberB and Everest are two great rubber strap makers, they look great on Rolex sports models.

Yup. Those look good. I think that I might pick up an extra clasp too so that I am not changing that out each time as well. Any suggestions there?

Everest used to sell a replacement clasp much like the newer Rolex ones. I bought one to replace the "beer can" clasp on my 2004 16600 (no intense offended to said clasp). It was $65. I don't see it on their website any longer however.

I bought an Everest strap for my BLNR and use an older Rolex clasp from a 93150.
I have also seen some decent aftermarket clasps on EBay that resemble the BLNR clasp.
