I told myself I wouldn't do it but it's definitely growing on me for Christmas! Red Rubber B to match the ugly sweater

The only thing holding me back is that the black & red I have is so comfortable on the glidelock. I've never worn any of my watches on a tang buckle. What say the experts here?

I'm thinking about this for the summer, though is 275$ for a rubber strap reasonable?

Keep me updated with your long term review please.

I'd want to source an SD43 glide lock somehow so I don't have to keep changing the hardware all of the time.

not 100% on board with the tang yet, the glidelock I really enjoy

Can't say enough about the quality. If Rolex made a strap that connects to the case like these do, I think that's exactly what Rolex would make.

I like it! But I would go with the Rolex clasp

Love the red rubber just not crazy about the tang clasp on a watch with that weight/value

paulwli · 4 December 2019, 04:23 AM

I’m still debating to get the white rubber strap with tang buckle or the black/ red rubber strap using the existing glidelock clasp 🤔

I am very tempted to get this.

This is exactly my concern however I would hope that if the quality in fit is as good as most claim, I would think their tang would be of equal quality amd able to handle the weight of the SD43?

I have a Rubber B on my DSSD with the tang buckle and I am fine with it. I don't want to dink around changing the Rolex clasp and a second clasp would cost a lot. Think of what you'd have spent on the Rubber B and clasp.

Nikrnic · 4 December 2019, 05:53 AM

I'm not a big fan of switching out from the bracelet but it could be fun for the summer, I've thought the same for my SubC. I'd utilize the the original clasp though as I think it would be more enjoyable.

Great to know. Thank you. I think I can more comfortably go for the white as it is only available with the tang.

Steerpike999 · 4 December 2019, 07:19 AM

That looks GOOD!!

Chewbacca · 4 December 2019, 08:14 AM

Looks good.

joerivers1961 · 5 December 2019, 12:22 AM

Go for it. Looks like a fun combo for the Holidays.

samson66 · 5 December 2019, 01:49 AM

It's not that it looks bad, I just can't being myself to ever remove that PERFECT oyster bracelet. Just can't do it...

tgyberg · 5 December 2019, 02:32 AM

Like the red strap!

Aircraftman · 5 December 2019, 03:13 AM

I like both the red and the white on your watches.

I am a big fan of the rubber B product and love the one I have on my submariner.

Like most I still love the Rolex bracelet most, but nothing wrong with a little change of pace occasionally

Hollie_Rollie · 5 December 2019, 04:39 AM

Mr. Wonderful would approve of this. All his watches have this same set up.

EndlessEight · 5 December 2019, 05:50 AM

Any advice on how to source the SD43 clasp, assuming the AD won't cooperate?

I know the clasp is thicker than a Sub, so a Sub clasp wouldn't work, correct?
