IMHO which you are asking....over priced and not too good looking.

I love the look of the Rubber B, but I have never paid more than $40 for a rubber (not silicone) strap (Bonetto Cinturinis), so when I saw the price I threw up in my mouth a little. Hopefully WillJean will come out with a suitable facsimile sometime in the next year for around $50 (even then, I'll feel like it's one helluva lot of money for $10 worth of rubber).

I have one on my 14060M that I purchased a few weeks back. It's a great strap, I haven't taken it off the Sub yet. I used to have an Isofrane, but I found that the look didn't really suit the Sub. (Isofrane was too thick and I didn't care for the vents)
I will admit that the price is quite hard to swallow on a Rubber B. I know I was going back and forth deciding whether it was worth it or not, but it is a fantastic looking strap. I imagine that this is what an OEM strap would look like (if they had one). Even with the price, I'd still recommend it! Love mine. |

Meh.... $240 for a few $0.01 of rubber and supply your own clasp?
No thanks.

Anyone have one of these on a bluesy? I assume the blue one will be the way to go.

I like the look for a change but I think the bracelet looks the best in most cases. There is nothing wring with changing up the look every once and a while though

I have one on my 14060M also and the only thing I don't like about it is they didn't
keep the rubber thick all the way down the strap. I think it would have given the strap more presence if they had kept it thick from the lugs to the buckle. |

I have one on my DSSD and like it, well worth the money in my opinion. The DSSD version has a tang buckle and the original glide lock can't be fitted as its narrower. The narrowest width of the RB strap is 20mm which is wider than the bracelet and looks, in my opinion, more in keeping with the size of the case.
