First I would like to start off with a review and a couple of pictures of the black Everest band and black Glidelock clasp that I recently purchased. I have been wearing the combo for about a week now and I can say that I am thoroughly impressed by the quality and condition of the band and clasp. I find the band to be very comfortable as the watch does not slide at all even though the band is not squeezing your wrist. If anyone has ever considered a rubber strap I would definitely recommend giving the Everest band a chance.

On to the pics:

Next I would like to show a few teaser pics of a product that will be shorty. When I ordered the black band I was in contact with Michael and I had asked about a red band as I did not see one on their website. To my surprise, he said they were working on one and it was available if I would like to add it to my order.

Here is how it looks. I am far from a good photographer and the pics are depicting the band as having an orangish tint, it is definitely more red than the pics show.

I would also like to add that the customer service response time was excellent; I received a response to my inquiry within an hour. Shipping was fast through USPS and I can say that I am impressed with the whole process.

As of now I am wearing the black band as it is such a good combo, but I plan to rotate them as the summer rolls around.

I'm generally not a strap kind of guy but I will say that looks really great. Thanks for the pics and review.

Those straps look great, particularly the red one.

Where can I buy them? Thank you.

Man I've been seeing a lot of good reviews recently about this band and it would serve me particularly well in my line of work... So I ordered a set!

Reviews to follow...

Black strap looks good, cheers.

mlotus95 · 18 March 2013, 09:55 AM

i think the black looks sharp.

Doesn't look like they are selling the black clasp now. Just curious, how much more did it cost compared to the regular clasp?

montpyt · 18 March 2013, 10:46 AM

I love my green one for my Hulk....I also got a red one. I figure I can use it at Christmas

I'm surprised at how good the black band looks on the Sub.
I'm also thinking that the rubber band would be well suited to the hot dusty Summer months here as I am constantly washing my SS bracelet to get the gunk out from between the links where the combination of sweat and dust can cause undue deterioration of the bracelet.
