I love this! I want to add this to my new sub...what band is that and did you buy an extra clasp?

I wish Rolex would produce this.
Dive watches deserve a rubber option.

Nice nice. Let’s see the back side did you integrate your claps or just do the buckle ?

Rubber 41

Looks great! I'm doing this Tuesday on my 116610 with the glide lock option. (Rubber B not Everest though)

Nope. Go Seamaster if you want something that looks good in rubber.

A Rolex should be left on its bracelet.

I totally agree. I don't get the appeal for these RubberB straps, they always look like they don't belong on the watch. Quite frankly the modern rolex in general looks very awkward on ANY type of strap, especially the 11series subs.

RubberB or Everest (personal preference) work fine on a sub. I like it. I didn't know they were making the 21 lugs yet, I'm surprised as I thought they said their 21's wouldn't be out until 2021. Congrats, it looks good and rubber is very functional and fitting on a. dive watch.

Rubber B on OP 41 Silver. Just put it on. Helps the dial and hands pop more. I had a bit of difficulty seeing the hands contrast with the dial when on the original steel bracelet; perhaps the rubber helps absorb some glare that was previously hitting the bracelet. Seamless fitting strap. Very comfortable; wraps nicely around wrist; fortunately doesn't bow out from the lugs but instead tapers right down from the lug ends. Appears to be excellent quality.

Looks fab that was an eye popping surprise.
Really sharp I sometimes think bracelets take too much attention away from the timepiece.

I've been stalking Everest's site waiting for them to release the 21mm rubber straps. Is this one the 21mm that's on their site for the Explorer II perhaps?

It does look good, I tried an Everest on my 114060 but didn’t stay on long, can’t beat the bracelet

RubberB on my 40. I agree with the comment above. Dive watch needs a rubber option. Bracelets are slippery when wet.

Looking good. I'm getting a couple of Horus rubber straps myself. Dark brown for my YM pt dial and royal blue for my TT Bluesy. Looking forward to a change of look, although I will most probably alternate with the bracelet.
