So, after a bunch of headache getting this to fit, I finally got my RubberB onto the 114270 today. Looks and feels pretty nice.

Word of guidance if you're going to try this -- dig through your 20mm pin connection and find some skinny ones -- the OEM ones are too thick to allow everything to fit.

Check out the final photos below:

Looks like OEM, very nice!

Strap works well with the dial. Nice change-up.

Sorry to dig up this old thread but the OPs PM inbox is full. I am in the market for a Rubber B for my 114270 but realized they don’t make an exact fit for it. Can anyone provide some detailed information on how this was possible? I’ve only encountered 2-3 folks on the forum and have PMed all. Any information anyone can provide will help me. I tried the strap on today bc the store owner had it on his DaytonaC and was amazed but the fit and quality, now I have to get one. Thank you in advance!

Are you sure they don't make it? Give them a call. They've always been very helpful to me. Would these fit? Good Luck!

I read in a few places that it’s due to the spring bar sizing and/or position of the 114270 vs 214270 which causes it harder to fit. It’s also not listed in any of their reference documents plus the AD for the straps also mentioned they weren’t sure. I’ll definitely call them but traveling at the moment so I turned here first :).

Interesting I was not aware of that. I don't own an Explorer but always cool to learn new things! good luck on your search man!

I emailed them once asking about a strap for the 114270 and they mentioned that, at this point, did not have a specific reference for it. They forwarded me to a blog where someone managed to adapt another reference (don't remember which reference or the website) to fit the 114260.

So I emailed them yesterday and they said they don’t have a plan to make one for the 36mm Explorers. However, they said many of their clients have managed to fit the straps from the 39mm version onto the 36mm with 1.8 width spring bars. I believe that’s the standard sizing for 36mm Explorers, but unsure if I should try it since it won’t be a perfect fit?

Any additional thoughts anyone? Thanks!
