Nice I remember seeing this when it was a concept. Glad they decided to make them.

Man those look great. I had no idea that's what they cost. Man those look great. I'll just keep telling myself how great they look till I get over the sticker shock. Would loved the black and red for my BBR. Thanks Angelo!

They look great. I'm tempted, but I really don't need one though. I'm sure the price will help me with the decision

I'll probably get one at some point but right now I'm enjoying my Black Bay on a Maratac strap.

So the RubberB for the Rolex Sub is $240 with Tang buckle, but the Tudor BB one is $250 with no buckle. Did I read that right?

Anyone have thoughts/info re:fitting a one of these fitting the Pelagos? I would think the BB model would (as the pelagos end links/rubber fit on the BB), but am curious why they wouldn't advertise as such.

Those look really nice. Might have to pick up a Tudor (if I can get over the snowflake hand)

I noticed this too. I was impressed with how there was a Tudor buckle on it that matched so well until I realised it was the one that came with the OEM strap. Would be nice if they actually included one even a plain generic buckle. I don't keep any spare buckles.

Looks like they pulled their watch images off the Tudor website.

Thanks Angelo. I'll be getting on for my BBN for sure. Only question is pure black or black and tan. Thoughts?

I was thinking black and tan also to match the gilt dial. The color looks almost white in the photos though so it's hard to say if it matches.

Nice.
Also as a side note. The OEM Tudor Pelagos rubber strap fits both the Black Bay and Heritage Chrono if you use their respective endlinks. |

I would just get the oem rubber from Tudor and put it on like stated above. These rubberB straps (if you do a quick search on TRF) are not a good fit on the Rolex, I'm betting money these have the same issue. You have Rolex/Tudor don't put something that is not comparable quality. That's buying rims for your Ferrari tisk tisk

FYI, received a reply from RubberB that the straps do not fit the Pelagos.

I've purchased dual colored straps for my Sub-C and my Daytona. I have nothing but positive things to say about them. I love the bands and they're fairly unique.

Additionally, I have a BB on bracelet, which means for me to go with a rubber B (which I really like the look of btw) it means I need to also buy the clasp that comes with the leather strap. So a $250 strap, just became a $550+ purchase to actually wear it, lol! I'll hold out till they make something that works with my bracelet clasp as well, comes with a tang... or I'll just wait a little while longer till Everest releases theirs. |

Frankly, I don't see it as such an issue with them not selling the clasp, you can get a cheap pin buckle on amazon for like 15-20 bucks. To me it's work it seeing as the watch band itself is top notch quality.

BTW Not sure if you were simply making a statement or responding to me directly, but I never said anything about buying aftermarket parts. And I do agree with you. |
