Rubber B Velcro Series Strap Review

I recently picked up a Rubber B Velcro Series Strap for my 114060 Submariner. I previously owned a Rubber B with the tang buckle. My written review is on my blog along with a you tube video.

I’m curious to know what others have thought of this strap.

Velcro has such a bad rep. I think its very cool and great to know about the loop information. Might just pick one up. I took the liberty to put the video here so the other members can see it. How was that water???

Thanks for the review.

Perhaps a question is, do you prefer it over a tang buckle and why or why not.

My issue would be that I don't like excessive strap hanging out the bottom of wrist and for that reason I cut my G-Shock straps and my Everest strap ends to make them a bit shorter.

By the looks of this strap if you cut the end you are perhaps interfering with the stitching and it may start to fray or mess up how the velcro is attached.

I doubt that you would have that problem since it comes in 5 sizes (XS-XL) I would order smaller so you avoid that. Mine is L and I have a pretty big wrist I thought I would be XL. They provide the loop too but I don't need it on mine. I like the clean look.
