Rubber B and D-Blue 126660
Does the rubber b help it wear less top heavy on a smaller wrist? Or does it make things worse. Any experiences?

My personal opinion is that it wears better and is more stable/proportionate/comfortable. I prefer the Rubber B on a Deep Sea vs the steel bracelet. Mixes the looks up from standard subs.

With a 6.5" wrist, I find there are pros and cons to Rubber B. Below are my thoughts and are very subjective.
Pros: -much lighter, that is of course if you want a much lighter watch with such presence. With the bracelet it was around 212g and with the rubber b, it was 163g. - Much more balanced and visually more appealing. - Makes the height of the case (17.7mm) less protruding - No divers extension (Although you can take this out even if you use the bracelet) - Less seen in the wild. Many choose the sub or the SD43 over the Deepsea, but with the Blue Rubber B, there are even less. Although the bezel and case are easily recognisable, The Rubber B, makes it more unique. Cons: -wears much larger compared to the bracelet as there are no end-links that would hug the wrist - Does not hug the wrist as nicely as the bracelet (for small wrists) Hope this helps!

I'm thinking of picking up a Rubber B myself for my DSSD JC. They look sweet and a nice sporty change up from the steel.
