Rubber B advice please

I have just bought a rubber b off eBay but need a clasp. I am confused regarding the fitting of a clasp. Can anyone tell me which clasp to get and how it fits. Not looking for a genuine one they're far too expensive.

I forgot to add in the original post what does the size 9 x 16 mean? I take it 16 is the strap width but what's the 9?

your asking for help sourcing a fake Rolex clasp?


Personally, i would just get a rubber B on a tang. I think they look better on a buckle anyway.

Ones made for a Rolex clasp need to be ordered in the correct size for your wrist. The tang buckle version is a standard size.

I've researched this. I have one on a tang buckle but it's quite light for a blue. I am looking to replace it with a clasp version because that's a navy blue and will match my watch much better.
If you are interested just look on the rubber b site at submariner straps and you will see the different colours according to the type of clasp.

you already have a Rolex clap right? You just remove it from the bracelet and put it on the rubber.

yeah that navy is nice. You must have a non-glidelock sub. The glidelock sub version only comes in black. I like it

Rubber B advice please

I bought my sub on a b with tang buckle so don't have a clasp. I really like the watch but don't think the strap matches.
Sorry don't know what b stands for but they are nice straps
