It's a simple 3rd party offering found on ebay. It was fun initially but in truth a Sub is a Sub and a BBR a BBR and never the twain shall meet. My Sub is back to black and my BBR is a nice alternative to wear!!! Ultimately it was scratching the insert while swimming laps that led to its demise that and really missing the standard Sub. One additional modification was buying a leather strap from an AD for my BBR yesterday for an alternative to the bracelet.
