Everest vs Oysterflex on my sub c

So wanted to share.

The glidelock bracelet is great but it’s always nice to switch it up.

A couple years ago I sourced an oysterflex and it was nice felt good, but I ultimately sold it to use the money to go towards to another watch.

Fast forward to today. I really think the Rolex black sports models go great on rubber. I was able to get an Everest. Feel so far is comparable to the oysterflex. I kinda like the rubber going all the way to the case but I did have some endlinks for the small gap.

Anyway what are you thoughts on which style? I really wish Rolex would sell a rubber strap for all black sport models, but that’s a different story!

How did you get the endlinks to fit? I got a custom endlinks and oysterflex but the holes on the strap won't line up to fit in.

George from smarty endlinks was great. I actually had the same issue. The Daytona links work instead. He brushed them for me to match.
