Looks great Chadri! I sooo hope Tudor makes a smaller version for the ladies someday.
Unrelated - you did the mock up for me w/LVc on jubilee. Thanks again, I might add! AD said they nor Rolex would touch the watch since band isn't original to the model. Does that imply all you talented WIS folks have to reinstall original bands/straps for servicing? Or was I being told a "ya know what my AD told me" line? Regards! |

What’s the expected lifetime of a Rubber Everest Strap?

Thanks for the effort. Did you give thought to the Pelagos rubber with bb end links. That’s my preferred setup as I like the endlink look. Fits me great too.

But if they could make it work that’d be killer! When I bought my first Everest I wanted the buckle. I figured I’d like to keep the bracelet together for quicker change-ups. After a while I got used to tinkering with my watches, boughtt the right tools and now I’m all about using the oem clasp. To me it’s a much more pleasing way of wearing the watch, plus it looks cool :) |

Keeper
Just to let you guys know I also ordered the Everest Band for my BBB, I was unhappy with the large keep that it came with. Emailed them and told them about how big it is and keeps sliding off the band throughout the day. They sent me ONE, I emailed them back and ask to another one so both would even in size. They sent me another one. Now I'm happy with the results. I wish they have a option to use my deployment clasps tho..

Think this makes it a even more attractive watch. I’ve never been a fan of the nato nor the bracelet it comes with, but this combo looks solid.
Great review and awesome photos as usual, you always deliver! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You didn’t have to present your pelagos in order to make the purchase? I looked into buying the leather strap and deployant buckle for my BB and was told I’d have to bring the watch in.

Great Pictures! I do agree with SemperFi on rubber b. I also like the way the vulcanized rubber matches the texture of the dial with the rubber b. My only real concern with the Everest is that if you look closely too many bands look squeezed in although I don't see it much on yours. That extra 150 bucks to get the original Tudor clasp I think its well worth it to get that OEM feel. Im surprised you went this route from previous posts I've seen from you and how meticulous you are about OEM! Here's the Rubber B straps that I'm talking about

Clasp is $255, just got the price from Rolex last week. Ouch! Rubber B looks good, as far as looking OEM though, I give the edge to Everest, hands down. Obviously with rubber B you’d use the existing OEM clasp, which would be awesome... IF I owned the clasp lol, which I don’t. Also while the splash of color is awesome, it’s not for everyone and definitely strays from that “OEM” heritage look. I’m definitely interested in it, but after adding the cost of the clasp you’re looking at way more than twice the price ($500+) of the Everest, which I already find to be perfect. When rubber B comes out with a strap that has the buckle included or one that can use the bracelet clasp, I’m in! |

No not at all my watches, I get their promo emails from when I bought my strap. This is my setup. "Give the edge to Everest hands down" is an overstatement lets be real. I'm not saying your strap is bad at all but it's just not in the same playing field as Rubber B. TBH with you I feel Everest should sell at a lower price for their rubber straps. Their leather straps are a different story.

I never said, I “give the edge to Everest hands down” in general, just regarding what looks more OEM. The rubber be is a very modern take on the look of the watch. I like it, but I was just replying to your OEM comment. I can’t say unequivocally that I give the edge to Everest overall, because I’ve never worn the rubber b on my BB. But since the deployant clasp costs $255 and the rubber B strap costs $250, I don’t think I ever will. Unless someone sells the entire setup cheap in the classifieds. |

I recently acquired my Tudor Black Bay with bracelet and nylon strap.
Now it's time to delve into aftermarket straps and I'm deciding what to do. 1. Everest rubber strap 2. OEM black distressed leather with Tudor clasp (like other variants of the BBB) 3. Pelagos rubber with BB end links Thoughts? |

Thank you for the great review, the strap versatility is amazing and the Integrated Everest Band works well.

The best rubber strap for the black bay is the rubber b easily.the fit between lugs lugs and the taper is so much cleaner looking.its also less bulky and sleek.and the texture is nicer.but the fact of having to buy your own clasp is disgraceful imo.
Another good vulcanised rubber strap for the bb is the brand new strap from crafter blue .It's cheap and looks like the rubber b.but fits between the lugs like the everest band here is a link to the crafter strap.the winner is the rubber b by miles but it's crazy expensive and no clasp.but for the price the crafter is probably better deal than the everest https://www.crafterblue.com/tudor-blackbay-strap |
