SD4K on Rubber B

Put my Sea-Dweller on the Rubber B tang buckle today and am very pleased with the comfort and look. I'll switch it back to the bracelet on occasion but the rubber is better for me at work more often than not. The strap is shorter than many watches come with but should still work even for larger wrists, just don't expect a lot of extra strap length if that's your thing. There are 2 keepers and one locks into place.

I'll probably get the black one with the blue stripe for the BLNR but I'm betting I'll wear the bracelet more often with that one.

Looks great with the tang buckle. Did you not like the look of the compatible glidelock version ?

I have a RubberB on my SubC. I think it looks cool. I only use it occasionally though. I have Everest too.



I use this to remove the bracelet, what tools do you use?



I also recently bought a white RubberB strap for my Polar.

I'm not a fan of these alternative bracelets but I must admit it does look good.

I like they look of the glidelock clasp but there are 2 reasons I went with the tang buckle. First, I plan on changing back to the bracelet often enough that I don't want to deal with the hassle of switching out the clasp. Second, with the tang buckle it's possible for me to hook the watch to my scrub ties when I'm in surgery for safe keeping. I don't like keeping good watches in my back pocket because there are often holes in those pockets plus they aren't very secure. G-Shocks and $200 divers just go in the back pocket without care or concern.

To install this strap I took it to my AD but ordered the Burgeon 7825 tool yesterday in order to do it myself from here on out. That appears to be the same tool you have so I must be on the right track!
