Rubber B vs Vagenari

Ended up getting a black rubber strap and decided to try Vagenari after some searches.

It's pretty obvious that it's mirrored on the rubber B's right down to clasp and hole sizes. I am not complaining because I find rubber B just more suited to my wrist and the lug design is better IMO.

Anyway, some pics for comparison and a little advice - is it safe to use Daytona springs on a sub? The orange Rubber B doesn't fit the Daytona, and the black one will fit the sub if I use the daytona springs.

The Chinese copy comment and the 43 year observation following that knocked my socks off.

Judging by the hilarious choice in product name, I'm guessing it doesn't feel as good as the real thing.

And how do you know for certain that rubber b is not made in china?

Working in the government, i can tell you for 100% certainty that big brand names have been caught doing fraud, not saying rubber is or might but i have seen a garment or product made in china and then a made in italy tag sewed on after delivery, this does not make the product made in italy

If it's holding a 10 or 25k watch on it, I'd stick to the RubberB brother

I feel like rubber is rubber as long as the tolerances are met. Now leathers is another story, you can easily tell cheap fake vs genuine one. Just my opinion.

It's actually pretty good. The texture and feel is the same. However, the rubber b has an edge but maybe it's the orange where it just feels a bit better. Hard to put my finger on it.

Vagina isn't bad at all.
