I have an Everest strap for my 16710 and I like it. Very comfortable and the quality seems top notch. I haven't tried the RubberB so I can't speak to it.

I hate aftermarket products but RB is the one exception - not a fan of Everest.

My old friend is a dealer of Rubber B in Wales. He once mentioned to me that Rubber B is the same factory as AP and Omega bands as well - like the same people make em. So I guess the price makes sense, considering they do not sell watches, only bands. I have had a remarkable experience with my favourite Rubber B band, and I would beg to differ them as "aftermarket". They are not a copy of something else, but rather an original product. Also, they are just as top notch as anything I've seen coming from any other luxury brand. just me and my opinion pining here

The price still doesn't make sense, in my opinion. They don't have the marketing costs of AP or Omega. And they have the flexibility to produce straps for any brand, including ubiquitous ones like Rolex

14060M on a Rubber B with tang buckle was the perfect companion on a recent trip to Palm Cove, Queensland, .

Niceee! I have heard a lot of great things about Rubber B - seeing it on your wrist I can't deny that those things I heard were true!

I bought a Rubber B for my active lifestyle, no regrets here.
