Everest Bands
Hi,
Not sure if I’m posting this in the right section, but has anyone bought from them. I really want to change the bands on couple watches and just want to get feedback. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Can you find a store which carries them nearby. That is the best way to assess them for you.

I had one, they are really nice, but I sold it because I always went back to the bracelet within a few days. I was the same with my Omega 300m.

Everest bands are a quality product. I have owned several over the years. Rubber B is good also.

Quality band, same with Rubber B. If you want a budget version, Vanguard isn't bad either at about 1/2 the price (Assuming they make the strap for the model you have in mind).
With that said, Rubber B's service is subpar. Their service is lacking to say the least when I tried to claim warranty repair. |

I've owned both Everest and Rubber B. Both are excellent quality and comfort, but for me, the Rubber B won out. The downturn from the lugs makes for a better overall look vs. the flaring out at the lugs of Everest.

I've had both RubberB and Everest...I think I may still have my orange Everest strap for the 114060 I sold years ago, LOL.
I noticed that the Everest rubber is slightly softer and more comfortable, though I feel like the quality/fit and finish on the RubberB is better. I only used the ones that were designed for the watch clasp...one time I got one with a tang buckle and hated it with all the extra strap hanging out there. |

I have several everest Bs for the explorer 2/gmt/daytona. All wear and fit great! The straps definitely tone down the watches a bit. Also like that they have a small strap option.

Another brand to mention is Crafter Blue. Originally they were mostly for Seikos but have branched out. Better quality than my Vanguard, cheaper too. They have a BOGO sale coming up in late January.

They are good quality but once associated with the Rolex brand price quadruples.

Everest Bands
I've tried Everest, Crafter Blue, Rubber B and Zealande. Congress down to personal preference but I'm putting version 2 of the Zealande well ahead of the rest. Far greater comfort and version 2 has a locking tab on the keeper. Have one for my 58 and one over the ocean currently for my new GMT2.

I wore my 16600 Sea Dweller for 25 years with the metal stock bracelet before recently buying an Everest leather band. It feals amazing, almost too comfortable if that's possible. The finish and fit are grand. IMO

Rubber B for me due to the design difference near the lugs. Subtle, but makes a difference in my opinion. I also put mine on a deployant which I love.
