Rubber Strap for Sub
Looking for a replacement rubber strap. I see RubberB is quite popular here. Anyone else worth looking into? This is going on a very beat up sub so not too worried about quality and I prefer something that's completely rubber.

Rubber Strap for Sub
5 digit sub? You could try a Bonetto Cinturini rubber NATO. It’s the 328 model and ZuluDiver has multiple color options for it.
6 digit sub? I would not do anything but Rubber B and Everest. Either way, Gray or straight black would be my personal choice |

Everest
  Isofrane  Hirsch  Hirsch Extreme  Personally I think Everest straps look the best because of the way they curve around the wrist, giving it a similar look to the Oysterflex. |

If you don’t mind a straight end strap, the Synchron Company makes the Isofrane rubber strap (I had one on a Seiko Marinemaster300, great strap) and now they do the Tropic strap, excellent rubber quality.

I have a RubberB and I like it. They are a bit pricey though, at about $250. The only thing that sucks about it, it's model specific.

There are many excellent quality rubber straps on Ebay that don't cost silly money. 250 for a rubber strap...Crazy.

If one can source an oyster flex, are there any that fit on 5 digit or 6 digit Subs and GMTs?

If a five digit then get a genuine tropic strap. Suits the classic case shape better than the Rubber B and Everest straps IMHO.

I had an Everest but didn't think much of it - too thin and slightly short for the ham-fisted. Going to try a RubberB next.

Rubber B for me. Used it for my 214270 and 116710. Very happy with it. A bit pricey but better to pay a little more and be happy. Quality is also great so I highly recommend it.

Rubber B over Everest. Everest is big and bulky imo. If you have a 5 digit sub the Everest might overpower the sub.
