Go to rubberb.com. They list dealers.

I would go with the Rolex clasp. A tang buckle increases the chance of you dropping it when taking it off or putting it on dramatically!

tang.

MortgageGuy · 21 March 2014, 11:20 AM

Tang for me

Glidelock · 21 March 2014, 12:19 PM

Definitely go for the Tang!

Outrlimit · 21 March 2014, 12:32 PM

I agree with Subtona, the tang design sucks. I'm surprised Rubber B can get the strap design nailed and fail so badly on a simple buckle that a $15 strap gets right. They fail to properly angle the buckle so the part that spans the strap doesn't lay flat, it sticks up rather awkwardly. Fortunately, it is not hard to find a replacement buckle that fits properly for $5 to $10.

Rubber B: if you are following the forum, take note.

I would prefer to just add an aftermarket deployant clasp, which would give similar convenience of the OEM clasp

The tang clasp is what I'd opt for, otherwise.

Rolex clasp! Feels a lot more balanced.

Touring · 21 March 2014, 04:04 PM

Tang.

ppalasthira · 21 March 2014, 06:30 PM

I have the version used for the Rolex clasp.

But I think I would prefer the tang.

think the clasp looks better ,, but to make swapping fast and easy , you would need to buy another clasp to go with the strap , making the rubber a very expensive option , i always fear dropping a watch with an open ended strap , no probs with a clasp ,,,,just my thoughts

RHD deployant fits the tang RubberB nicely. So it's an option for those who do not want to use the Rolex clasp.

Chynatown · 7 April 2014, 12:49 PM

Tang........Just ordered a Rubber B strap in RED for my DSSD!!!!!!

postalworker · 7 April 2014, 03:18 PM

Tang

GolfPunk · 7 April 2014, 06:11 PM

I say source an OEM Rolex clasp so you aren't messing with your Rolex bracelet and then you have two ready to go strap options.

DrTom · 7 April 2014, 11:34 PM

i hate tang.....well not all tang....but i do hate watch tang.....buckle/clasps all the way!

FiftyTwoEighty · 7 April 2014, 11:38 PM

Tang for me. I just ordered a couple for my 16600 last week.

kaseri · 7 April 2014, 11:48 PM

As I stated earlier the RHD deployant works well with the RubberB tang buckle strap. Just pop off the tang buckle and affix the RHD. If you intend to go this route the proper size deployant is 18 mm.

Here is an image I found of the RubberB tang buckle strap with an RHD deployant.

WolfieWST · 21 May 2015, 06:42 AM

I went with the rolex clasp ;)

evlkoala · 21 May 2015, 07:09 AM

Tang.

SemperFi · 21 May 2015, 08:38 AM

I voted tang since it's mostly unseen and easier to switch back to the bracelet.

Old Expat Beast · 21 May 2015, 08:40 AM

I guess the OP already made his decision in the last year or so.

A pretty even poll. I figured most people ago for the clasp.

One Ping Only · 21 May 2015, 10:42 AM

Kanawha · 21 May 2015, 11:43 AM

I'm liking the look of the buckle~

Nsx_23 · 21 May 2015, 11:54 AM

I wish they made a shorter 6 o'clock strap. I have trouble getting the tang buckle or the clasp centered.
