New explorer II strap/rubber b

I usually go for a tang style strap from rubberb/Everest, but today I received my first rubber b clasp style band. What a world of difference. Easy to size and install. I can also say that it is much more comfortable with clasp. The tang can often be irritating and dig into my wrist, however, it’s not a problem with this one. Ordered and delivered in two days. I am very fortunate to have both the exp II clasp on the rubber and a glidelock clasp on the metal bracelet so it makes it very quick and easy to change up. Plus, the slight extra weight of the clasp seems to balance the watch head as well. Some quick pictures below.

Looks good brother!

I’ve been thinking about adding the same strap to my same Explorer as you, and this may have convinced me to buy it.

Do you have any pics of the clasp side?

Sure. Excuse the red marks on the wrist. House projects today.

Looks nice! I wish they would incorporate the easy link extension though.

Looks great. I have put my Polar on a Rubber B orange strap before and it is nice if not bright. I like the Black wit a touch of orange.

The Rubber B really looks nice on the watch and it’s also giving it a good fit, it’s a nice choice indeed ...enjoy.

Not a fan of the new explorer. Not a fan of the black dial. However, the strap combo has changed my mind. Very nice and well done!
