Put a Rubber B on my Explorer II

This is a very lite and comfortable strap and extremely sturdy. There was some concern over the narrow end that attaches to the OEM clasp but the strap is very very sturdy and I would have no qualms at all hitting the ocean surf with this strap.

I have the same watch and have been contemplating about this band for a long time. It looks great.

Cool idea, where did you source the clasp?

I too enjoy the RubberB strap but I miss the bracelet. Maybe it's time to swap back for while.

That is the only Rolex model I like the look of a rubber strap on. Fits the "adventure" personality. Rolex should be making this look oem.
