I rely on Rubber B rather than Everest, but that's just my point of view.

Another suggestion would be to look at Vanguard straps.

Vanguard are definitely good although not quite at Rubber B level.
Having said that I’ve had a Vanguard on my BB GMT for about a year and I was pretty happy before changing to Rubber B. Now in the process of upgrading to Rubber B on everything. |

My rubber b looked amazing on my gmt! However it lasted about 5/6 years and then started falling apart!

Just bought one from Horus Straps. I'll post it when I get it. I sent one to a friend for his Daytona too. We will see if he likes it!

I agree. I have used inexpensive rubber and leather straps for many years and have never had an issue. There are some great rubber straps on ebay that I have purchased recently.This one is high quality

Thanks . |

Crafter Blue & Vanguard are good quality and excellent value for money. I have used them on my Tudors for the last couple of years.

For me Tempomat are the best quality-price straps. i bought recently one of their new FKM vulcanized rubber strap collection for rolex for 150 USD.
Extremelly recommend. http://www.tempomaterials.com |

Definitely dont skimp on rubber straps, the good ones are drastically better than the really cheap ones.
I don't like Horus rubber, its too firm for my taste. Havent had a Rubber B, but would buy that over Everest between the 2. Horus is my choice though for quality rubber straps. More flexible and a better fit/feel. I have a handful of their straps that I've worn on many different watches.

Each to their own but on a watch that's more than $10k I'm not sure I'd be looking for a cheap strap
I've heard Everest are quite good |
