That is funny 😄
My local AD sells Everest straps in their store, so they certainly don’t mind!

Personal, I wouldn't put any Rolex watches on rubber or anything else rather then original bracelet. Except for DSSD for obvious reason. That being said, I have DSSD on Rubber B and like it a lot.

They all look great but I think they would be even better with end links like the PM daytona's have.

All that matters is I like MY sub on a rubber b! 😀 I certainly love the bracelet too of course. And of all the Rolex models, I’d think the sub is the most logical model on a rubber strap.

If anyone is interested in the look Oysterflex on Sub C with smarty end links.

I think Rolex would make a killing if they made this as an add on to purchase vs people going through tons of hoops for one.

Hi there,

Was it hard putting the oysterflex on with the end link? Was it tight? Bc I ordered a set from George and it was very tight even with a lot of pressure wouldn’t get it fit. He advised me to send it back and get one for 16613 although I got it for my 16610.

You tried this with the Oysterflex? I never tried it with a 16610 but I had absolutely no issues with my 16710, 116710, 126710 and 116610

Yes I had the oysterflex with the endlinks from smartyjones. George said the oysterflex is thicker so I would need endlinks for the 16613. So I gotta exchange these for those. Hope it works

Here's my SubC ND on a Rubber B w/Glidelock.
Perfect fit, sporty & comfortable as well as a nice change every once in while.

Try it on an isofrane it's actually not half bad even though the "SEL" part of it doesnt curve to the case body... the lugs are cut real close to the case anyway at least on my 16600 so it doesnt look half bad...

I like the look of the rubber, I would wear it as an alternative to the strap. I stay busy in the workshop but I love to wear my rolex so I may need to try a rubber strap too. Nice look.

I love the look on rubber. If / when I get a Sub I would very much like to get a couple of rubber straps to go with it. Also in my personal opinion the Rubber B and Everest look much better than the Rolex Oysterflex.

I prefer the Rubber B too because it meets the case and flows nicely across the lugs. Too confused looking with the end links attached...it's either one way or the other for me, not a mix of both.

Looks great on red as well!
