Everest strap on Air King

Finally got this installed after buying it a month ago, and I gotta say: I love it! The green on the strap really enhances the green on the dial. It’s also extremely comfortable. Super pleased!

I like this look... And the full green band looks great also.

I think if I was planning a beach holiday I'd highly consider a change. But for daily wear, including weekly beach/swimming visits, the bracelet is just too nice!

Best watch in Rolex's lineup though

Really like it. Been meaning to do this for ages. I think I prefer the rubber b version it’s a lot thinner green.

Did you install it yourself I have heard it‘s difficult, although I don’t understand what is actually difficult about it.

Well aware of my own limitations, haha, I had my AD do it. Didn’t take very long at all and no comments about it being difficult.

Really I’m surprised the AD will fit an aftermarket bracelet.

My SA actually told me they aren’t supposed to do it but I have a lot of purchase history with them, so the SA agreed.

Good to see you finally got the Everest and it looks great. You're going to love that way it feels on, very comfortable and no worries of scratching the oyster bracelet. It's put away in the pouch I got the Everest in.

If you get the proper tools, and take a little time, you can change it yourself. I watched a few videos and got the right tools and took my time. Just have to tape the lugs in case the spring bar slips. Patience and good tools are the key..
