My RubberB strap on Sub Date

First, yeah, I know it costs a lot of money. So did my watch. I love the oyster bracelet and it's typically what I prefer to wear. However, there are times when I want a change and a different look. I own a nice alligator strap that I enjoy wearing from time to time, too. What I didn't have was a great looking rubber strap that I thought looked good on the watch. Until now.

I know there are lots of strong opinions about this particular strap, or anything other than the original bracelet. IF you are looking for another option I would recommend this strap. Fit is perfect. Very high quality.

I feel sooooooo bad for him.
If there were police that I could call I'd have him taken away from you.

Sorry just one man's opinion!

Yes. Not any more difficult than putting on a leather strap. Don't be intimidated at attaching the clasp. Very straight forward. Good luck, and enjoy!

Looks great indeed, I like the fact that it covers the whole space in between the lugs. Thank you for sharing!

I like it..it shows you have ideas similar to Rolex for an on-the-strap model
that could become a bit less expensive from the stratospheric new pricing
by offering it with a strap for those of us that do not use a Sub as a tool.
