Rubber on a two liner...
There have been several threads on rubber straps lately, and I decided to give one a go. Bonetto Cinturini. Very comfortable - going to give it a full tryout at the beach in a couple of weeks.

What say you?

Looks good! IMHO the Sub is perfect for rubber. Didn't Rolex once offer that?

I believe so, back in the '60's.

Winner..., Much better looking that the cheap rubber straps I had on my submariners,. I ended reverting to the stainless steel band. You've got me thinking-- Time to buy a head only submariner so I can get a leather strap like yours....

Doesn't have any markings that I can see.

What about the Rubber B straps? I love the look using the original Sub clasp.

Nice!
Not sure about the little gap between the strap and lug, though.
Does the strap take the OEM spring bar well, or did you have to "shove" it in there?
