Favorite "rubber strapped" watch? Recommendations Please!

[Proteinshake86]

Hey Guys!

Im looking for a watch for travel/pool use. Ideally with a rubber strap (although steel or kevlar type is also a possibility). Something that i dont mind getting roughed up. Nothing too big....ideally under 44mm. And on the cheaper end (under $6k)

Would love some recommendations!

Thanks!

IWC Aquatimer?
Omega Seamaster 300?
Panerai? (a little bulky)

How about getting an Everest/rubberB for your GMT?

I search for this answer daily.

I wear my ExpII Polar on a Rubber B. Very happy.

I love my Breitling Chrono Superocean. I put it on rubber in the summer, and it's super comfortable. It is a discontinued model, but I would look into Breitling for sure..

Not a bad idea actually

or maybe i should pick up a no-date sub and THEN throw on the Everest strap. hehe

Now you're talking

114060 and don't look back

That's a nice 'cheaper end' for a beater.

AzPaul.......Just didn't want anyone to crush my self confidence by recommending a rose gold Aquanaut. lol

That's your answer hands down around 6k. Probably the best answer for less than double that actually

you could do any diver and buy an aftermarket rubber strap. I have an Isofrane on my Seamaster PO. I like the idea of a sub no-date on a everest/rubberB. I also love the Grand Seiko divers (SBGA029). The Panerai submersible is pretty neat too.

if you're not a watch snob, this

if you must have a swiss make, this; and save $4k

or one of the ones you suggested as a beater.

This was delivered to my UK home yesterday. I don't get to see it in person for another 3 weeks unfortunately.

I have a Seiko marinemaster 300 on an Isofrane rubber strap, great combo.

With rubber strap? 5167

In all seriousness, my 'beater' is a 2500C 42mm PO on steel bracelet. To me, it represents not only the closest look to a Seasmaster 300 without trying to be retro, but also lots of memories of traveling over the years and beach vacations in Crete, Portugal, Italy, etc. Great summer watch, and just a great watch all around.

Better yet get this
Throw it on the NATO temporarily and an Everest strap when they are FINALLY released

Last time I checked Everest doesn't make a rubber strap for the 14060M. But does for the 6 digit.

the above is a 16610 and also works on my 114300 (which I originally bought it for) should work on a 14060 too

Also, the 14060 is listed on everest's website as compatible with their rubber: https://www.everestbands.com/collections/

Love this thing.

I think a 2500 (Aluminum bezel) 42mm Planet Ocean on rubber is a hot piece.

I have the 45.5 version and although I wear Rolex and Tudor more often, I don't think I'll ever sell it. It's a fantastic, bomb-proof and accurate watch that I have actually received compliments on, unlike all my other crusty old watches.

The SKX007J is another one (I also own) but the Seiko rubber strap is a bit crappy. However, put it on a nice Isofrane and I think that would be a sweet setup.

I stand corrected on 14060m. Thank you. I'm so glad they finally have one for that model. Cheers!
