Vanguard Rubber Straps

Many TRF members recommend Everest or Rubber B for integrated rubber straps. Possibly mentioned before here but Vanguard rubber straps are a strong contender as well. They have straps for many luxury brands. Apply code:
TICKBACK at checkout for 10% off. I got my Tudor BB58 strap for $126.

There are many curved rubber strap options for Rolex. One I would recommend to stay away from is Horus. The silicone material attracts dust and lint in a way thst I have never seen.

Having a 6” wrist, I was pleased to see they offered a short version whereas the others didn’t.

Thought, Vanguard and Everest were cool ideas, that I spent the money on them, Layman. Weird fit. Eventually discovered watches that were actually designed to go with rubber straps made by the manufacturer, and those are brilliant for everybody else, back to the bracelet made with the watch.

Different people have different experiences I guess - I bought the Vanguard Blue Strap for my BB58 Blue and 2 years in still find it to be supremely comfortable and good quality.

I have all 3 brands in various straps for different pieces. All seem about on par in quality for the rubber itself. Fit varies by wrist so YMMV there.

I do like my Rubber B strap that integrates my DS clasp on my 126660 but also found Rubber B's customer service to be lacking when I had a corner case issue on a different strap.

They never resolved it, nor cared too so when that 126660 strap has run its course, I'll stick to Everest and Vanguard respectively.

I might try these. I have a bunch from Barton’s. I find them decent quality and less expensive.

Thanks for posting the link! What a unique assortment of strap colors & brand offerings. I did have to chuckle though when the 1st watch mod on homepage was the MoonSwatch.
