Trying out the Rubber B that came with my watch when I purchased it 3 months old. I like the fit so far, and I don't fret every time I drag my wrist across things now. Not scratching up that beautiful clasp anymore. I think I'd like to eventually try out an Everest version too, just to compare.

Very nice Brian!!

Nice looks good

I think that the RubberB 's are great and currently have one on my Explorer.
Yours looks really nice.

VerticalHorizon · 23 December 2016, 10:31 AM

Have one as well!

I have the rubber b on my LV, but an Everest on my blnr. I have to say the Everest was much easier to fit and is definitely more comfortable.

How easy is it to fit on the Explorer II? I just keep hearing how much of a PITA it is to fit RubberBs.

Sharp! And Rubber B's are easy to install!

Nope - it's very easy. I've had Rubber B on both my 16570 and 216570 and they were easy to install.

Looks sharp on your GMT!

TheRolexKingofLV · 23 December 2016, 10:58 AM

Looks great! Why not switch it up a little bit now and then.

I have the same on m gmt also but I've read the Everest is better fit and more comfy. Thinking about trying leather though.

Looks good. Nice change of pace

I think it depends on a lot of factors, like wrist size and watch model. I've had an Everest rubber (with tang buckle) for a few months and never got on with it. I just received a Rubber B to replace it, and I like it much better. The Rubber B is sleeker, shorter, seemingly lighter, and I prefer the rubber texture. It balances better with my 16570.

I have a wrist that's just under 7", and I only wear 5 digit watches, so maybe people feel differently with larger wrists and/or bulkier 6 digit models.
