Greetings

RubberB for Explorer II Tang Buckle series.

I am after RUbberB tang buckle for 42mm Explorer II model, not with the one with SS Rolex bracelet closure.

Has anyone managed to find it for 42mm Exp II ?

It is quite odd that they offer more options for the old/discontinued models than for the latest models of Explorer II....

thanks

Only for stock clasp, unfortunately.

thanks, no sale then for RubberB from me....

I want to easily, quickly and very frequently swap my rubber strap and OEM SS Rolex metal bracelet - hence Tang Buckle.
I dont want to change the clasp every time I change the strap.
Everest does not make one for the Explorer II 42mm either.
Very strange.

I guess I could buy a *second copy* of the OEM Rolex SS Explorer II 42mm clasp/closure via my Rolex AD ??
Thoughts?

Everest will be launching a new line of straps for the Exp 11 42mm in the next couple of months.

I received replies to my "contact us" email from both RubberB and from Everest this week.

RubberB *may* offer this band sometime in middle of 2019 (it is not a guarantee, just a current plan). This is a long time to wait, 12 months at least.

Everest may offer it before the end of 2018 so a few months wait.

This is very strange given 42mm Explorer II has been on the market since 2012 i.e. 6 years already.... I am guessing there is simply no demand for it....
