It has arrived and I feel like a boy on Christmas morning. I think spending $10,000+ on the Rolex itself was an easier pill to swallow versus $250 on a piece of rubber, but it looks and feels great!

That looks better than the bracelet.

This is phenomenal. Are you still able to adjust the fit on the clasp? I feel like the dimensions need to be perfect on this in order to ensure a proper fit but having the ability to make minor day to day adjustments is key.

Looks spectacular! I hope they come out with a Rubber B that overshoots the lugs for watches like 40mm Subs and GMT's.

Yes. On the rubber b website they have a guide that is extremely easy to use to figure out your strap order size. Basically you count the links on each side and they send a strap based upon that. The clasp works the same as on the bracelet.

Many thanks for that guidance Mike. I'll be ordering this imminently and will post pics as well.

haha very good point. However, it is not like they are sending a clasp as well with the deal. Literally... it is a piece of rubber.

I have Breitlings as well and I am obsessed with their ocean racer due to the comfort and deployment clasp which is also one of my favs. The rubber itself for those are only around $90, maybe I was used to those ones that is why.

I think that the price is so high due to Rubber B having to build so many variations as the can not be cut to size, like others (i.e. Breitling). In this case, it would raise the production cost for them. I dunno, just my thought...

Do you find it more comfortable on the rubber strap than the SS or is it just a visual thing....Excellent look by btw

Mikey C · 18 July 2014, 09:53 AM

As far as comfort... You won't want to go back! I am extremely anal about coordinating straps with my belts, shoes etc... So for that reason, I change it back haha

Hairdude1 · 18 July 2014, 10:57 AM

Nice! Looks great on the Rubber

Syms · 18 July 2014, 05:35 PM

I've been tempted to pick up this Rubber B strap for my DSSD but I just can't swallow $250 on a rubber strap....I love how I can use my DSSD clasp though...thats damn sweet...

Looks sick!

Nycturbovr6 · 15 August 2014, 03:38 PM

The dssd looks really good on that rubber b
