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

They do look great Ralph. I signed up many months ago to get an email when they were available but was surprised when it came in this morning.
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.

You're right, I didn't click on the models. $250 and "compatible" with various buckles.

I don't see the buckle pictured for sale anywhere on the site.

I believe $240 for Rolex Sub is not the VulChromatic dual color version?

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.

I'd have to disagree with you there. I have a RubberB on my Explorer and the fit is just perfect.

yeah it's a big problem IMO.

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.

you obviously have never owned a rubberB I have one on my expII the fit is nothing short of perfect and wears extremely comfortable and would not hesitate to buy one for the Tudor BB line up.

If I'm not mistaken, you can get the deployment buckle from Tudor for 150 (the one that comes on the black leather band) Idk, for me I'd much rather spend the extra dough and get quality materials as opposed to having aftermarket equipment. Just my two cents.

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.

I'm in for a $150 buckle, but I'm not so sure that's right. Either way that lands you $400 to wear their strap on a $2500 watch. VS (as Adam mentioned) buying a $225 for a $6k+ watch that's ready to go out the box.

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.
