How many have changed to the rubber strap and does it feel or fit any better than the bracelet. Cheers

rb250 · 1 November 2018, 08:23 AM

I have changed to the rubber strap and never looked back. I have the blue pelagos and love the color also.

puppet · 1 November 2018, 08:37 AM

Mine gets the rubber strap for pretty much all summer. In fact, it just went back on the bracelet over the weekend.

I also have the blue. I definitely think the strap looks better in person than the marketing photos.

I think it wears comfortably. I’ve had rubber before that I didn’t like. I do have a relatively small wrist. If you have a large wrist, it may be a little tight

My rubber has never been out it’s packet. I usually like rubber on my divers but there’s just something about the metal end link mixed with rubber I don’t like.

tufty · 1 November 2018, 08:58 AM

I've only worn mine with the rubber.

Zoomerang · 1 November 2018, 09:16 AM

I tried but the buckle piece is too short for me.

SAAS · 1 November 2018, 12:46 PM

Loved the bracelet technology but hated it on the wrist. Wears smaller on rubber my preference

GBD · 1 November 2018, 12:58 PM

I liked the rubber, but I always went back to the bracelet. The micro-adjust is just too good, and I was able to get a better fit with the bracelet.

Brad Clissold · 1 November 2018, 01:02 PM

Rubber 100% of the time

SemperFi · 1 November 2018, 01:29 PM

I haven’t tried the rubber yet but may do so during the next rotation.
It just looks and fits so darn good on the bracelet.

Hendrikus · 1 November 2018, 06:03 PM

Slightly different point to the question raised by the OP, as I am yet to try my rubber strap but - I have now been wearing my Pelagos for almost a week since I bought it (24/7), and I have to say (on the bracelet) this is probably the most comfortable watch I have. Quite why it is more comfortable than a Submariner or GMT I know not, and why have Rolex allowed Tudor to produce a better clasp/adjustment feature than either the Glidelock (as good as it is) or the Easylink thing on the GMT?

Anyway, for those Rolex only wearers that can't bring themselves to consider a Tudor, for comfort (at least) this is worth a look!

gman5515 · 1 November 2018, 08:01 PM

I have never worn my pelagos with the rubber strap. either on the titanium bracelet(occasionally), or Nato/MN strap(majority of the time)

1William · 1 November 2018, 08:57 PM

I have put my Pelagos on the Rubber strap on occasion but think the bracelet is the winner. I prefer the new generation of Panerai straps and Seiko's new rubber straps are also great.

Ian Macdermott · 1 November 2018, 09:04 PM

I have had my LHD on the braclet from day one and it is the most comfortable one out of all my watches. I did however put the Pelagos rubber strap on my Blackbay and found it fitted very well.

jenson · 2 November 2018, 07:29 AM

I don't have that watch but from the few times i saw it resting on a strap, it looked really beautiful with no regrets whats so ever.

SPMN · 2 November 2018, 09:54 AM

I dont really like the end links on the rubber strap, and I couldn’t get as nice of a fit as I could with the bracelet. I’ve been hoping that Rubber B or Everest would come out with a fitted strap, but they haven’t. I did just preorder a newly released, fitted strap from Crafter Blue. I know some people don’t like their straps, but it was cheap enough to give a shot. It should be released in a few weeks.

Spartacus · 2 November 2018, 11:37 AM

Rubber since day 1

Pattymac · 2 November 2018, 12:50 PM

My LHD has only seen the bracelet. One day I'll switch it up and try the strap. The bracelet is awesome though.
