(I'm sure it was a typo, although I think it's funny. I really do like the look of these bands. A black or orange one may be in my future...)

Everest band for sure, simple and classic and has the end link look to it.

I use RubberB with Explorer II.
Looks great but quality is worlds behind IWC rubber.
Price is lower too.
From the above picture, Everest looks of more quality to me.

One complaint about RubberB: that shorter strap is too short putting the watch in awkward place (I am not able to picture it right now).

The Everest Band looks pretty good. If Rolex just filed for a patent on the same polyurethane material used in the Everest Band, then that probably means Everest took a good route. I also like the cleaner look on the Everest Band; the break lines don't extend all the way down the band, thus averting the busy look.

Bit the bullet and have put the Everest on my SUB C,using the original Rolex Glidelock

Eagle7222 · 12 July 2013, 09:54 AM

I have an Everest.

Use on occasion for a few days justo switch it up.

It's just something different

SC11 · 13 July 2013, 04:35 PM

Has anyone got any good pics of the Sub C on the Rubber B with tang buckle strap ?

Thebiglagu · 14 July 2013, 12:03 AM

I like them both. I think I'm gonna pick up a rubber b for my 16610 and try it out. I'll let everyone know how I make out.

jasonwest · 13 August 2013, 07:35 AM

everest would be perfect if it used rolex pins.

WatchFeen · 13 August 2013, 07:38 AM

rubber b

impalass · 13 August 2013, 08:09 AM

I now own both the Everest and Rubber B, wear both on the Everest Glide Lock (which I can't praise enough) and love them both equally.

The Everest is a touch thicker, and two touchs wider, which I perfir on my SD. The Rubber B is tapered more and with it's lines running down the strap more suitable for my LV, imho.

Both are high quality, fit perfectly and install easily. The rubber is different in texture and feel, but the same in softness and comfort. The elephant in the room is the difference in prices, only you can decide if the Rubber B is worth the extra $$.

That's what I have on my 16600 but be warned it's 115/75 (like most Panerai OEM)...

I was a little apprehensive with the Everest supplied spring bars at first.

After installing them on the watch head without the strap and giving them an good pressure test between index finger and thumb, and doing the same with the OEM Rolex spring bar, I felt totally reassured.

Where is the "original bracelet" button?
Rubber straps are uncomfortable, ugly, and cheap... No thanks!

Just my opinion guys, don't flame me...

Dan Pierce · 13 August 2013, 09:52 AM

None of the above. I prefer Italian rubber w/ custom end links. Besides, much more reasonably priced, reversible, high quality, and another opportunity to get the purists shorts in a bunch.

Actually, that's not too bad, still not for me though!

Just ordered by Everest, should have it in a few days. Pics to come on my Exp II

MrCaliber · 14 August 2013, 02:32 AM

I haven't tried the RubberB but love my Everest - plus Mike is a great guy and offers a very personal service. I am very happy with Everest.

I beg to differ! If I had to choose between my 16600's SEL OEM bracelet and my Rubber B, the bracelet would win hands down...

As for my PAM; despite now having a half-dozen fantastic custom leather straps, I still find the OEM rubber to be comfortable, good-looking and there's certainly nothing cheap about it...
