I have a Rubber B for my 216570 42mm Explorer that is great in the summer. I was contemplating adding another one for my GMT Pepsi.

Rubber B just sent me this mock-up of what I was thinking about purchasing. I would have to purchase 2 bands to make this work as they do not offer the "mixed" color off the shelf. What do you think?

Pretty cool, can't wait to see the WS

Looks good

SemperFi · 27 July 2016, 03:28 AM

That's interesting.

daytonaTBR · 27 July 2016, 03:29 AM

That looks really cool

Ragna · 27 July 2016, 04:58 AM

I LOVED IT. THATS SOME SERIOUS IDEA.

If you find someone that have pepsi you could both kind of share (the other guy using oposite colors)

I think it looks great! Curious to see the real pics once you get the straps.

Yuri.Popov · 27 July 2016, 06:39 AM

Wow! What a creative idea! I love it! Awesome!!!

TK-710 · 27 July 2016, 07:13 AM

Nice

TripleB Boston · 27 July 2016, 07:23 AM

Clever. I think it looks great.

Rags · 27 July 2016, 07:27 AM

I would prefer one color but that's just me.

Perpetual888 · 27 July 2016, 08:07 AM

Original... and Looks Great!!

CRM114 · 27 July 2016, 08:28 AM

The color thing looks cool but not a fan of dive watch rubber straps on anything but dive watches.

ernie2 · 27 July 2016, 10:14 AM

Adding to the GMT collection, purchased a GMT Batman 116710BLNR today...picking it up next week

bsprtsgrp · 28 July 2016, 06:10 AM

Another version....

anothernewphone · 28 July 2016, 06:13 AM

I hate aftermarket straps - but - the first idea is at least pretty cool. The second one, not so much.

I'm an "OEM-or-bust" kinda guy when the Oyster bracelet is involved, but I don't loathe the first mockup!

bsprtsgrp · 28 July 2016, 11:10 AM

Purchased a Batman today. I just had the 16710 RSC overhauled in 14' but I'll put the Pepsi back in the safe for a few years. I love the newer bracelets and supercases but my heart still has Pepsi all over it. It was my first Rolex back in 85'

I tend to agree. Aren't these watches cool enough the way they come from Rolex.....especially the 16710?!?!

Exactly. First version has potential, this not so much.

I like this combination better than the solid colored straps. The latter is too much in my opinion.

Boaters · 29 July 2016, 09:25 AM

The first one good the second not IMPO

That's too much. Way too much.
