I got my new SD4K the other day and I noticed people had them on a Rubber B band. I am a fan of rubber bands so I purchased a Rubber B black tang band yesterday. It arrived today and here is how it looks.

Chadridv · 10 April 2015, 02:23 AM

looks great! always nice to mix it up. congrats on the watch and band!

lmcgbaj · 10 April 2015, 02:24 AM

Not bad. I like it. It's good to have both.

Zen. · 10 April 2015, 02:26 AM

Can totally understand the need for the rubber strap. Nice selection.

bulldog · 10 April 2015, 02:37 AM

Only issue I am finding is it is either too big or too small. Can't seem to get the right fit. Holes seem to be too far apart. I see the Isofrane may fit better someone just said. Anyone have any info on them and where to purchase?

bulldog · 10 April 2015, 02:55 AM

I just ordered an Isofrane and I will have it tomorrow and I will then decide. Opinions....

bbressler · 10 April 2015, 03:09 AM

Sorry the fit isn't perfect for you, because that RubberB looks great on your SD!

That's exactly why the bracelet is so good.

mjclark32 · 10 April 2015, 04:10 AM

Man, that looks good. Too bad it doesn't fit perfectly

Dittox · 10 April 2015, 04:16 AM

Even though the Rubber B that uses Rolex' deployment buclke isn't as convenient (takes some time to change the bracelet), I think it offers a better fit than the version with the buckle. Regardless, your SD4000 looks amazing, congratulations!

Cru Jones · 10 April 2015, 04:51 AM

Looks fantastic. Too bad about the fit ---- it's true, the holes do look too widely spaced.

Check out this video, which might help (not sure if it will with RubberB): http://www.vintagerstraps.com/zhomehtml/movi.html

Not that it helps with RubberB, but, when ordering leather straps for my Panerai from my favorite strap maker, I have more holes put more closely together (oval style instead of circular) and it makes a world of difference.

The Isofrane website takes you to Aquadive where you can order.

Thank you, already done, overnighted and will have tomorrow morning, pics to follow

Tempusfugitus · 10 April 2015, 06:08 AM

Same path as me - got a Rubber B. Wasn't comfortable. Got an Isofrane. Blissfully comfortable and cooler looking as well. IMHO Rubber Bs look a bit Hublot, whereas Isofranes look pure Jacques Cousteau. Enjoy!

cop414 · 10 April 2015, 06:13 AM

Looks great, wish that it fit better for you.

SemperFi · 10 April 2015, 06:22 AM

Got my Isofrane yesterday. Here it is on my Black Bay.

hitman23 · 10 April 2015, 06:38 AM

iso is so comfy, but there seems to be a lot of space b/w the case and lug holes. maybe consider a custom endlink?

watchwatcher · 10 April 2015, 06:46 AM

Very nice.

agfebres · 10 April 2015, 10:42 AM

SubC on Iso

GB-man · 10 April 2015, 10:48 AM

Rubber b looks good! I need one

sleddog · 10 April 2015, 01:26 PM

I like it, and it's always great to have options...
A pity about the fitment issue using the RubberB though. Hope you can sort it out.

braningan · 10 April 2015, 02:13 PM

Interesting

DBlue on RubberB

btinl · 10 April 2015, 02:42 PM

Fitment of the Rubber B is one of my main apprehensions with the strap. I wish there was a way for me to try it on before buying it.

Karbo · 10 April 2015, 03:00 PM

Sd4+ rubber

+1

It's a good look on rubber and make sense when travelling or camping or something. I really like the SD4K on Rubber compared to the SubC, due to the more tapered lugs.

I really love this strap! Wish they made it for the SubC.

I am a fan!

Orange123 · 10 April 2015, 04:36 PM

Love it, I prefer the look of the rubberb out of the ones shown, although I would get a clasp for it.
