Sub 41 rubber straps

[alexio82]

Really like the look. I've been searching high and low for a good rubber strap, apparently the reputable ones like rubber b, zealande, vanguard has yet to produce one. Would appreciate if anyone can point me to the right direction.

I think it is too new for anyone to produce yet.

I am in the same boat, even a curved end leather strap!

Horus. Bought a couple. Silky smooth, feels premium for a rubber band.

Rubber B on their website said they will soon be releasing bands for Sub 41.

Yea I'm aware. I like their version where you use the original buckle.

Take my advice not worth the hassle just leave it on the bracelet it was designed for.

LOL...my take too, but not everybody feels the same!

The Rubber B forDJ41 might work as it’s 21mm lugs. Here is a link to 21 mm straight or curved ends that fit the 41mm Subs. https://strapsco.com/product-categor...-rubber-bands/

What exactly is such a hassle about it?

Actually I’m not crazy about rubber on a datejust, but generally speaking, swapping straps and changing the look of your watch within a matter of minutes is something that’s really elevated this hobby for me. I love having fun with it.

Also you can breath a little new life into a watch which is a lot cheaper than buying a mew watch entirely haha.

Poor Datejust never gets any love . Lol

Why not a Datejust, I kind of like the look myself.

Haha I actually just misread the thread title, which is why I mentioned it. Like I said, I don’t care much for it, but not enough to make a “call out” like that lol.

That said, seeing yours I do think it looks sharp. I think the smooth bezel
Works better with Rubber, being the fluted bezels make the watch look much dressier IMO.

Beautiful watch!

Rolex makes a rubber strap but swears it isnt a rubber strap. It is an oyster flex strap which took them 15 years to develop.

Now would they ever put this in the subc? Not yet.

In terms of your question there are secondary sellers that make them like another poster stated.

I'd be embarrassed to admit a bracelet wrapped in rubber took 15 years to develop. Perhaps it was an intern project.

He first had the rubber inside the steel. It was a long haul project.

Thanks I do like the blue color of the rubber B, it seems to flow into the blue dial. Agree, rubber straps on a Datejust with a fluted bezel seems at odds with the dressier look. Now that I’ve said that, the Sky Dweller owners will be chiming in:)
I like the straps you have posted.

Hahaha, really flexing their R&D muscle there, aren’t they?

haha I've looked many many times at Rubber B's offerings for my blue Sky D, and while I think the color matching is spot on, I don't think I can get past the rubber and fluted bezel look. Even the new gold Sky Ds on Oysterflex don't really do it for me. As you said it just seems at odds a little.

For leather (since someone mentioned it) Aaron at Combat Straps can make you one for about the same price as an Everest. (And Everest has yet to make one for the new Subs.) He did for me. It’s not the RubberB/Everest curved-end fit that’s flush against the case, but it IS curved end with special springbars, so the clearance between case and strap is nice and tight (without touching) and it feels very well designed. I like it much more than the Everest I had on my 16610.

[Buchmann69]

I’m in the same boat. I know Rubber B and Everest will both produce straps for the new 41mm Submariner.

Horus $205 and Strapsco $30 both have 21mm rubber straps for the new sub.

Beautiful’. Can we see wrist shots?

Ew

[alexio82]

It's not snug, this is for 20mm lugs??

[Thebuzz]

Everest still doesn't offer the 21mm strap.

I received a 20mm as a gift for my 124060 and can't return it because its been more than 7 days :(

[Justinmg]

In my book you can’t beat the oyster bracelet. Not a fan of the rubber strap unless it’s OEM.

[wb55]

I'm on the list for a YM42. After I get it I'm going test the Oysterflex on my Sub 41 and if it works order another. It's meant to fit.
