Rubber B for SD43 Tang Buckle

In case any SD43 Owners are interested. They look good but I have mine with the glidelock.

“Poopoo” happens to be a favourite expression of Kevin O’Leary who happens to also like red straps

Stunning

I am not a fan of having all of your timepieces on red straps like Mr O'Leary. However, I can say that I do like some and the RB red is perfectly toned. I like this particular combination you are showing with the SD 43 with red lettering... is very nice on the red strap indeed. I am a big fan of Rubber B, since the very beginning, before they even became so popular. The quality and endurance they have provided me has been commendable.

Never understood adding the rubber band to your Rolex. I prefer to keep my SD43 OEM. Nice avatar btw

Ordered mine today. All black. Can’t wait. Been on Zulu strap for 2 years as I am just not a bracelet guy.

Speaking of.....Everest dropped the ball on this one. They claimed several times they were about to release this strap but never did.

Since 2005, when a question is asked I answer it honestly. Since 1985 I've owned any Rolex I wanted. Never would I put some flashy rubber strap on such a quality watch, as I feel it diminishes the aesthetics of a watch with a long history of well planned design. Alex, try and work on your research skills, and maybe refrain from making inaccurate snap judgements. Best to you.

Nice avatar also fella! Love Texas. You can't compare the bracelet to a rubber strap. The bracelet wins everytime but the rubber strap if its the right one is a great change and changes the watch a bit without having to do anything permanent. I've bought 2 already and am very pleased!

Appreciate the feedback and you are do correct in having an opinion, not everyone has to like the same thing and that's the way it should be. In my case I don't think it's flashy it actually tones down the watch. That's why I went with the black one and the red is inside so its subtle. The quality is without a doubt to par with Rolex.

Same strap different design? notice the holes & texture. My offshore strap and the rubber b are identical other than the design.

I wouldn't be surprised if one company makes them for both, or more other brands

Sorry OP but I went the rubberb route with one piece and the novelty wore off in 24h and its was placed back on the bracelet. There are certain Rolex watches that in my view don’t look complete without their bracelet. An exception are the 4/5 digit subs which handle a nato well.
