Deep Sea Rubber Strap

Are there any good rubber strap options out there for the DS?

How hard is it to get the bracelet on and off without scratching it? I haven’t been brave enough yet to do this with my Rolex watches.

i love my dssd with rubberb, makes the perfect everday wearer and it actually feels better on the wrist imo.

tape the lug areas with electrical tape and use the tweezers for a quick install. was super easy to do even as a first timer. if you are not comfortable, you can always bring it to your jeweler to install the strap for you.

My new daily Deepsea is on an Everest. Fits perfectly and makes the watch comfortable and easy to wear.

I’ve scratched both my Subs (TT and SS) bracelets from putting rubber b on. I was using Bergeon 7825 which is great for removing bracelet but HORRIFIC for putting bracelet or rubber b on the watch.

Rubber B if you must, but honestly it’s hard to improve on the factory bracelet

For me a rubber strap is a major downgrade for such a great watch, doesn't do it justice.

Booyah!

Cannot equal a Rubber B, when it comes to Rubber. Best quality. best innovators. Basically I am a fan.
