RubberB for my DSSD
I just received a RubberB strap for my DSSD. So far so good. Look for a review in the coming weeks.

It that a newer version of the rubber b? Looks like you using the glide lock clasps instead of the normal tang buckle I often see.

I am looking forward to your review Sheldon. I can only suspect that the watch is very comfortable with that strap. Hell, perhaps I might be able to wear that big watch on my skinny wrists with a RubberB...

I better start saving...!

Yes, correct. Works with Glidelock clasp and it does make it wear better on my 6 ⅝" wrist.

Fantastic. I, like many others, had been considering Rubber B but did not like the cheap look of the original option (ie no Glidelock clasp.) Now that this is an option I'll pull the trigger as well. Also, how true to size did you need to order? Or were you able to continue to adjust the fit with the Glidelock?

Looks really excellent btw.

Sizing is based on the number of links on your existing Oyster bracelet. Their website has a chart on what size to get. Also, I would fit without the diver's extension..

I would assume it has to taper sort of close to the original bracelet since it has to fit up with the oem glide lock ?

Cool, I think more people should change up the look of their watches.

I like it.

The rubber b in both tang and clasp buckles have been available for quite some time now.
I prefer the tang buckle though.

Looking forward to the review

Wow that looks really cool with the rubber strap compared to the original bracelet. Just my own opinion.

I prefer the isofrane straps to the rubberb - a forum member makes end links here so the end links + rubber strap looks better IMHO
