DSSD with Rubber B Strap

It has arrived and I feel like a boy on Christmas morning. I think spending $10,000+ on the Rolex itself was an easier pill to swallow versus $250 on a piece of rubber, but it looks and feels great!

This is phenomenal. Are you still able to adjust the fit on the clasp? I feel like the dimensions need to be perfect on this in order to ensure a proper fit but having the ability to make minor day to day adjustments is key.

Looks spectacular! I hope they come out with a Rubber B that overshoots the lugs for watches like 40mm Subs and GMT's.

Yes. On the rubber b website they have a guide that is extremely easy to use to figure out your strap order size. Basically you count the links on each side and they send a strap based upon that. The clasp works the same as on the bracelet.

haha very good point. However, it is not like they are sending a clasp as well with the deal. Literally... it is a piece of rubber.

I have Breitlings as well and I am obsessed with their ocean racer due to the comfort and deployment clasp which is also one of my favs. The rubber itself for those are only around $90, maybe I was used to those ones that is why.

I think that the price is so high due to Rubber B having to build so many variations as the can not be cut to size, like others (i.e. Breitling). In this case, it would raise the production cost for them. I dunno, just my thought...

As far as comfort... You won't want to go back! I am extremely anal about coordinating straps with my belts, shoes etc... So for that reason, I change it back haha

I've been tempted to pick up this Rubber B strap for my DSSD but I just can't swallow $250 on a rubber strap....I love how I can use my DSSD clasp though...thats damn sweet...

Looks sick!
