Thats because its designed to use your Rolex clasp off your own watch,other wise it would be a Rolex copy write infringement.But very expensive for what it is and IMHO its weak point the way its fixed to the fliplock side of your own Rolex clasp.

Custom made for specific Rolex models. The clasp is "your" clasp. Cost around $200.

HAHA! I guess that's why the clasp looks so good... I was, at first, wondering how they could get away with using the Rolex brand on the clasp.

Kind of crazy that it's $200 for just two rubber straps without any hardware at all.

But it still looks damn sexy!

Good points made on the previous thread. New replacement rubbers straps for other high end watches would cost you the same or more. If Rolex made these, you could be sure they would be a whole lot more than $200!

IMO way overpriced for rubber and no buckle. You must use your own clasp on this, so either buy a second one - if that is even possible, or when you change straps you also have to take your bracelet apart. When I want to change straps, I don't want all these extra steps. The isofrane rubber strap is much superior, better price point and has PVd optionsand many buckle options. Their buckles are heavy duty and of good quality. The rubber isn't overly flavored with vanilla and doest attract lint like most other rubber. It also has the retro dive look that adds to the overall look to a sub. IMO it looks like it was made for a sub. Rubberb's look is not for me at all. Plus it looks like an omega strap. And everyone is saying, if rolex made these, they would be like rubberb? Based on what? Nothing. Rolex doesn't and dare I say wouldn't make these.

you can definitely get something like the isofrane, or something thats made by the isofrane oem for $35

but these offer a more integrated look over what the isofrane offers. but to each their own.

i don't think most rolex owners go around swapping bracelet to strap too often, correct me if i'm wrong though.

Im ordering one. Looks like a good quality item that is specifically made to fit the different Rolex sport models. Swiss made... Can't compare this to china made generic type of strap. This looks like it is a perfect mate to the case. I will find out though.
