Everest Rolex Band / Strap Opinion ?
How is the quality on the everest bands (in particular the leather versions)? Lets hear some opinions and see some pics from those who have this on their Rolex!

Everest Rolex Band / Strap Opinion ?
I like it far more than I thought I would. I usually prefer the oyster and my watches end up back on it. Lately, this everest has been stealing the show.
I've tried it on other models too

I was disappointed in the curved-end alligator strap I bought. It didn't properly fit my smaller 6.75"-inch wrist, even though they specifically assured me it would, and frankly it just wasn't a $400 strap. It wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't what I'd have expected for the money, and it now sits in a drawer unused.

I just put the tang version on my subc and it's great. I never liked the gridlock at work (I'm in IT), as my wrist is on a desk typing or doing work, with the Everest, its like it's not there.

I took the plunge for an Everest for my Daytona. Gotta say I love the look and fit.

This is the one I am specifically considering -- not sure what color to get it in...as they have tan, brown, and a few black versions...

They are very comfortable and the quality is pretty high. For me personally, I enjoy bracelets more though.

I have a smaller wrist and the Everest leather didn't fit well. It was too thick and frankly not that comfortable for me. That being said, their rubber straps to me are unbeatable.

I have a collection of rubber straps and one leather strap I use in my Explorer II. Great quality and comfort. I highly recommend them for a change of pace.

I have tried 3 Everest leather straps with tang buckle and do have 6.5" wrist. I can't say it fit particularly well.
Then tried Rubber B and haven't looked back. So now have 3 Bs. Much better fit and very comfortable, more so than the Oyster bracelet IMHO. Cheers |

I like some of the looks but I just cant deal with some of the gaps that the everest bands leave in between the watch and band. Here's a comparison between the blue one posted earlier and the rubberb I have on my Daytona. I know it's not great to compare on two separate watches but the devil is in the details. I'd love to set up a comparison on the same watch to see what the pros and cons of both are.

I realize people like them, but that one on the right does not look like a high quality strap to me. Look at how irregular the stitching is. I wouldn't be happy with that for the $250 or whatever they charge.
