Everest straps, any experience?

Hi everybody,

I love my 114060 on the awesome steel bracelet, but I have always liked to wear my watches on leather as well.

I stumbled upon the curved end straps from Everest, I especially like the leather straps with the steel endlinks, looks really cool, not cheap however.

Any feedback is really appreciated, thanks in advance!

Eric

Found some feedback in the Review-section, but pictures of an Everest strap on a 114060 would be really appreciated ;)

I never owned or tried the end link/leather combo from everest, but I own the full tang rubber strap for my 116610LV and the quality is top notch. Everest is also a great company that I am happy to give my business. I think they are offering 20% off right now. I'll try to find the promotion. For you.

I have the blue rubber version for my 116619 and it's really comfortable. I prefer it over the RubberB that was on my DSSD.

And yes take advantage of the discount code: HOLIDAY for 20%
It's valid from 11/17 - 1/1/2016

Is this promotion considered good? Do they often have discount?

I've just learned about this strap. If the promotion is rare, I may just proceed to buy now. Otherwise, I would like to look around and do some comparison in some shops. Thank you.

I have the leather deployant version on my Explorer II and once I got the correct fit I have grown to really appreciate wearing it. It is a quality piece and the company is first class as well.
YMMV,

SS Daytona on Everest leather with end links. Great quality, I'm very pleased and think it looks great. I'd buy without a second thought.

Is there anywhere in NYC that sells Everest or RubberB straps? It would be good to see them in person before buying as I am torn between the tang buckle version or the one that incorporates the oyster clasp.

Just found the list of ADs on the Everest website. There's a place on 46th street that sells them.

I know their is a dealer of RubberB straps in the Diamond District "World of Watches". They are listed on RubberB's site as an authorized dealer and I've been there a few times he runs a good business.

Eric,

I have two sets of Everest straps, the EH-1 version (past sku number, but should fit your watch). It came with a blacked out tang clasp that was included. I sold the Sub many a moon ago and they are collecting dust. If they fit your watch, PM me your address and you can have them. I wore it for a month straight, no issues.

Everest straps, any experience?

Everest bands are awesome; recently bought the brown and black leather bands with white stitches shown below. I'm currently using them on my Explorer, very happy with the look and the quality of them.

Look really good

Does it come different sizes or one size fits all ..

My wrist size is 8" and thinking of getting the Alligator strap for my SS daytona

Cheers

I have got the leather rubber B for my Explorer, but can not convince myself to change it - like the steel bracelet way better.

Thanks.

Here's an experiment: Three layers of paper and two different Everest straps on a 16570.
