Rubber strap for 37mm YM steel?
I checked Everest, rubberB, Horus…
Can’t seem to find a basic high quality rubber strap for sale for the 37mm steel or 2 tone Yachtmaster. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! |

From my research, it seems the yachtmaster 37mm has lug width of 18mm.
I did find a few very cheap rubber bands on Amazon that are sized for 18mm but not sure how solid a cheap strap like they will hold up to daily use etc. |

Check out Barton Elite. They offer some lovely textured rubber straps of great quality and provide many colours to match the watch in question. I’ve bought 4 over the years and although they are affordable, don’t let that fool you into thinking they are not great quality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’ve placed orders with Barton for the elite silicone 18mm using Amazon as the 18mm wasn't available on their main website. I also ordered Bandini, Strap Seeker Dexter, and Strapco Dassari FKM. Everest, Horus, and rubber B all got back to me and confirmed they do not have a product that would fit this watch. But it’s ok, as long as one of these straps is high enough quality to do the job. FYI, the YM37TT is a gift for my wife. She wants a sturdy dive watch but also wants some bling without being over the top. She likes the darker themes with rose gold. Her favorite is the full rose gold YM37 with ceramic bezel and oysterflex, but it’s out of the budget and the clasp will get destroyed with daily use, dealing with the kids, pool and beach, shower, dishes, gun range, whatever workhorse tasks she needs to do. She has a DJ36TT, so I figured the 37mm size will work nicely with this being the true sport watch and the DJ36 being the more formal one. The plan is to have it look like this picture (and can always put the oyster bracelet back on if she gets bored) |

Also thanks to Davidsw for the incredibly smooth transaction as always on the watch purchase itself.

I’m also a Barton Bands fan, have various colored rubber straps on most of my Seikos. Those companies charging $200+ for rubber straps should give you at least a kiss with them.

Maybe look for a black strap that has a red accent, like stitching, if it's fabric. Could be a cool color combo with the black dial & red text.

I think the red stripe is really cool. Not sure what the Mrs will think about that so just going with all black for now to see how it goes. They are so cheap and simple to swap so it’s absolutely an option down the road. |
