RubberB or Everest

[Dr.Smellody]

Love my rubber b.



Traveling and selected this watch last night due to the comfort.

My friend, you don't see anything wrong with this? What is that white close to the bezel? That silicone is going to break on you without a doubt. Be careful.

Everest has been great for me. Softer and more flexible than Rubber B. I’ve been buying from Everest since they launched their products. Their customer service is stellar.

They had not released a band yet for the SD4K and I asked them to make one for me, and they did. Then, they began to offer it en masse. They listen to their customers. Yes, there are less expensive alternatives than either of these brands. I’ll stick with Everest. I’m sure you will be pleased with either.

[Likestheshiny]

Both are great products. Rubber B tends to fit smaller wrists better and Everest bigger wrists, because of the angle of the strap flaring out from the case.

I personally had a negative experience with Everest where their prompt and friendly customer service told me incorrect things repeatedly. I definitely had a sense that they were blindly saying positive things without actually checking, and I wish they'd just been honest. But the strap I bought would have been very nice if it fit like they said it did.

Never tried the RubberB, but had an Everest on my SubC. Loved it. Probably one of the best rubber straps I’ve felt, soft and contoured my wrist perfectly. I didn’t think it was bulky at all and it fit into the lugs perfectly. Was pricey I guess, but quality always wins out over price for me.

Thank you to all. Sounds like Rubber B might be the answer I’m looking for.

Again thank you.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a 2018 Datejust 41 with a smooth bezel? Rubber B's is not compatible with this year.

What watch do you have? I see people saying you need to cut Rubber B, which I didn’t know because that is not the case for the Sub. What watches require cutting?

I think any that connect to a flip lock require cutting to length.

Here is how it looks on my Everose Chocolate Daytona

RubberB certainly makes some strap models with tang buckle. I have one such tang buckle RubberB for my Explorer.

I ordered an Everest green deployment for my Hulk and a Rubber B for my polar because Everest didn’t make a strap for the modern Exp II. Will let you know how they work out when they come in.

Please do I'm convinced I'm going to get a Everest for my 2005 Seadweller

As many have stated, Rubber B is a better strap.

[Grapenut]

Everest is the better strap in my experience. Quality is nice between both, but the Rubber B strap has a more fixed shape especially at the lugs. It will all come down to preference, and you may be able to find some shops near you that carry Rubber B. Check their website under retailers.

Personally I like the Everest strap more. Looks closer to the Oyster flex and fits my wrist better. Also like that you can chose sizes that line up with links as opposed to cutting the strap like Rubber B. For reference I have 3 Everest straps (2 deployant, 1 tang) and 1 Rubber B (deployant)

[BumbleB]

I used a Rubber B for Milgauss, easy to fix and change back whenever you feel like it.

I used a Rubber B for Milgauss, easy to fix and change back whenever you feel like it. It has a nice green line which matches the Green glass.

Neither

Everest has served me well.

I've only had experience with the Rubber B on my BBN, and I'm extremely happy that I did end up going with them. I don't need to try any other brand at this point!

I chose Rubber B over Everest for the taper of the straps, as well as the "beading" that makes it look more textured when compared to Everest. True, Rubber B is a bit more expensive, but at the price it isn't all that much more when it comes to overall happiness (in my opinion). I just know that if I went the Everest route, I'd probably still be pining for the Rubber B.

You copied my post word for word pretty much

[samson66]

I prefer the Everest and have been very happy with mine. The only real negative with the Everest is you cannot use deployant clasps with it. Rubber B will work with them.

Of course you can use the Rolex deployant with Everest. I first tried a RubberB but hated the fact it had to be cut to size, plus I don't like the raised "end link" rubber molding, I prefer the all-smooth Everest look.

In this case I have my Explorer clasp temporarily setup with my GMT, only because I am having the original chrome PCLs fully brushed off right now...I hate the shiny bass-lure look and couldn't care less about resale.

I actually think that looks pretty sharp! I'm talking about the Tudor deployant that comes with the leather straps. Agree about preferring the look of the Everest over the Rubber B

Can you show me how I would use an Everest strap with this style deployant clasp? I'm new to this, but my understanding was it would not work with an Everest. The company even said the same in an email reply to me.

Everest is better than RubberB

[maximilianmuller]

Based on? I tend to use my watches more on Oyster these days but RB make bands for brands higher than Rolex, they have a lot more different styles and alternatives, They are the only I've seen with the "Swiss Made" marking on their bands (if that even matters these days). Everest has the same exact band style for Tudors & Rolexes. The popularity contest probably belongs to Everest but they are certainly not better in quality. And Horus? thats pure silicone garbage. A dust magnet and extremely cheap. Anything over USD30-50 for a strap like Horus you are being fooled as a consumer.

I have both. An Everest that I purchased and a RubberB that came as part of a second hand purchase.

To me the Everest is better in every way. Fit,finish and the quality of the rubber.

If I'd have purchased the RubberB new I'd almost certainly have returned it for a refund.

It may be a fake rubber b sir? Rubber b is perfect imo

[Leeq]

Yep, I bought a rubber b fake on eBay not knowing. I called them because I was upset, they were very nice to me when they pointed it out. I made a claim on my credit card. I would not purchase again unless its a dealer or from their site. The strap had their logo and everything. I have purchased rubber b before and this strap was completely bogus. I agree on rubber b being the better product.
