Rubber B strap on BLNR
Got my Rubber B strap today, the quality and fit is excellent. I don't like it better than the bracelet, but I like to be able to mix things up a bit. It's a little expensive for 2 pieces of rubber but the fit to the watch is excellent. I'm not sure I'd buy again if this one was eaten by to dog, just because I really like the bracelet and probably won't use the strap often, but I'm glad I got it.

Looks great! For me I keep going back to rubber B on my BLNR because it is more comfortable and keeps the case centered on my wrist. But I have to admit the bracelet looks better.

Looks sharp and I have been looking to pick up the Everest but they are on back order. It looks fantastic! I just might pick up the Rubber B.

Interesting. Can you post a pic of the clasp with the rubber strap showing on both sides of it?

Question about these rubber straps.
Does it make your wrist - at least the part of the wrist under the watch - sweat more than with a metal / leather strap ? |

The RubberB wears much more comfy than the bracelet. I have exactly the same config and loving it! Nice setup.

Damn, I keep seeing these rubberb straps and I am seriously tempted. Just the cost is putting me off a little.
Anyone know how these compare to the oysterflex ones. I have tried one of those on and like it. |

I tried the Everose Yatch Master 40 with the Oysterflex. It inspired me to get the Everest strap for my BLNR. With the Everest, you can order exact lengths for each side of the watch case. The fit, feel, and look is pretty much the same as Oysterflex.

Not a fan of that at all. But if you're happy then all good.

I'll post some more pics when I get back to the real computer. I may try the blue one some day I do like the look of it. It does make your wrist a little sweaty under it I guess if it's hot. I like that it has a bit of grip so the watch stays put in one spot.

How easy is it to install on the BLNR? Is it straight forward? I heard some had trouble with DSSD.
I'm tempted to get the Everest sports leather instead but the Rubber B stripe is pretty cool |

Looks very nice! I love how you can use the Rolex clasp with it. Great choice but I'm with you...I prefer the bracelet. It is nice to change up the look though from time to time. Enjoy!
