Rubber Strap Recs
My Dad has a submariner that he wears on a grey Everest strap. After many years of daily wear, it is starting to fall apart. No knock on the company - for the price I figure you can only expect to get a few years of wear. He wants to mix it up with a new brand. Other than Rubber B, who are some of the more popular/quality aftermarket rubber strap manufacturers?

For high-quality rubber straps, check out Hirsch, Isofrane, and Barton Bands. These brands offer durable and stylish options that might be a good fit for your dad's Submariner.

Been wearing Rubber B straps for years and they look like they did when they were new. Buy those and be done with it.

I like the Isofrane straps. I have several for my divers. They come in various colors. Price isn’t too bad, either.
And they smell like vanilla. Kat Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Whichever brand you choose buy a quality strap as the one thing that it’s attached to is the one thing you don’t want to lose. Rubber B have always had a good reputation so I’d recommend them

I second Isofrane. Extremely well made and comfortable, although admittedly not fashion statements)

I would recommend staying away from Horus. They are severely over priced silicone straps that attract dust and lint. They are $10 straps at best.

First poor review of Rubber B I have seen, just putting it out there. It more of a complaint on their service as opposed to product. If Rubber B is the "gold", then Everest seems to be in solid second place with regards to rubber straps for Rolex. |

I always wear my rolexes on Tempomat, they have regular rubber options but also FKM like rubberb and everest. quality is same but their price is nearly half so can get a couple of colors and keep changing the straps. hope it helps folks
