Rubber Band for DJ

Hey Guys,

I was thinking about getting a rubber band for my 116200. I recently saw a photo of an adventure photographer with his 116200 on a rubber band and it looked awesome. I checked out the fan favourite brand "Everest", but it looks like they don't carry any bands for datejusts. Does anyone know of a reputable brand that would work with my 116200?

Thanks!

I may be wrong, but that would be considered blasphemy...

I concur.. Datejusts are meant to have either a jubilee or oyster bracelet NOT rubber...

I found it! It looks like a modified everest strap. I may just contact them and see what the options are.

I think it looks pretty darn good! The smooth bezel is pretty sporty.

Really, follow your intuition and to hell with the naysayers!!! For me that looks great as it would with a OP or Exp.

Do what you want with your watch and to hell with what anyone else thinks. I mean come on, Rolex just put a rubber strap on a rose gold Yachtmaster for crying out loud. Try RubberB they may make one.

It's been done albeit on a different model. Can't say that I'm a fan but whatever floats your boat.

Not mine btw.

I like it, but more important is that YOU like it.

I think DJ will work with rubber. Why not? I won't mind to try if I could find correct rubber strap for my DJ.
