Deepsea Blue. On Rubber B

Just got this. Absolutely love it for a bit of a change from the bracelet.

Isn't it too wide at the top? There is another maker of the strap that doesn't go over the Lugs, just like the Sub C rubber B

Not a fan of how it covers the ends of the lugs but im sure it is very comfortable.

The fact in goes over the lugs is the USP of this strap and I think it looks as good if not better than the bracelet.

I think the bracelet is the weak point of the dssd, it needs to be slightly beefier imo. The only (slight) downside of an awesome watch.

love it!! The beefiness of the strap compliments the beef of the DSSD nicely

Love the look. Helps it further make it appear to need to be in the water.

Almost adds a wetsuit feel to it.

Def my favorite rubber combo on any Rolex. The flared ends on the strap really make it unique and almost OEM for the watch.

Thanks.... It's amazingly comfortable. It's a heavy watch, so if anything the rubber strap lightens the load a bit.
I kept it on the clasp with Glidelock.

Absolutely magnificent.
I think it would be good for Rolex to have this as an option for their largest divers.

i bought one for my DSSD when i had it and was the best thing i ever did for it! it actually lightened the watch and made it more stable on my wrist. the original bracelet is just too narrow to keep it in check unless you want to wear it tight.

i sold the watch but kept the strap just in case lol!

I think they nailed it when they designed the strap to go over the lugs, it's a shame they don't do that for the while range.

I have a 116600 on a Rubber-B and it's great.
