Non Rolex Clasp Options

Hi all. Looking into purchasing a rubber band (Everest or Rubber B) for my subc. Ideally I'd like to throw a clasp on the strap, in a perfect world it would be a Rolex clasp but those seem to be a little hard to come by.

Does anyone have positive experience with non Rolex clasps on these straps? If so any good options?

You can use your own Rolex clasp and it's very simple to install.

Yeah for sure. But what I'm looking for is an option to keep on the rubber strap to avoid switching back and forth. I change from bracelet to strap quite often and if we are being honest I'd rather be lazy and not have to worry about switching the clasp.

I'm curious about this as well since I want to do something similar. I spoke to an AD and it seemed like they were willing to order a new clasp for me since I have a BLNR GMT, but I passed since the clasp was going to be a little over $1k. The entire bracelet with clasp would have been around $1900 they said.

I struggled with this and eventually went with the buckle version of the Rubber B. I actually appreciate the fact that I don't worry about banging it around..

With Rubber B they give you a choice of a strap with an included buckle, or a strap that is compatible with your current clasp. It is really simple to change it out, and I really like the Rubber B quality.

hey not to derail thread, but wondering if you guys could offer some input on whether it's possible for a Rolex clasp to be unsigned ?
Looking at an all gold bluesey on chrono, alas, not enough post count to post a link lol
looks like the bracelet has all the markings but there's not rolex coronet on the clasp.
thoughts ?

Swisstime40.com is a seller here. Emanuele can source many Rolex OEM clasps if you decide to go OEM instead of aftermarket. Not inexpensive but genuine Rolex.
