Thanks to Dan for pointing me to this band.

I think it looks great for the beach - I'll get some shots this weekend (It's will look even better when my Smartylinks from George come in next week ).

I'm starting to like growing my band collection for my sub.

Dang that looks great! How about some more info, where did it come from, is the clasp included, how much???
That looks like one I'd buy just to have on hand "just in case" something were to happen to my bracelet.
Nice...

Edit to add... I was just a bit confused with you thread title... I was expecting something el... oh never mind...

Glad you like it, Mick!

Italian rubber w/ reversible textured or smooth sides, quiet push button clasp, and nice vanilla scent. The end links make it look OEM.

Dan that looks great! I still can't believe the price on this thing and that it includes what appears to be a nice clasp, wow.

Most push button clasps make noise but this one is completely quiet. Plus, it's brushed w/ polished safety latch so it matches the Rolex finishes perfectly.

Got mine from Etur but Smartyjones now makes them.

...still looking for a latex-wrapped Betty...bummer.

@ Dan - great look on your GMT! Love it.

@ mick8moses - nice 14060! Like the band and agree with Tim on the clasp and price point. I've been building a NATO collection as of late, and now need to graduate to one (or more) of these bands.

Does anyone know what the best source of end links would be? I've seen some listed on this site, but forget where to look.

Marc - have you tried RubberB or Isofrane?

BTW, I ordered two bands from globalwatchband.com today - the one above and chestnut leather. Can't wait.

Go Red Sox.

Iso's are too expensive, and rubberB's $100 more than Iso's but thanks!
