BLNR on RubberB
Not to everybody’s taste, but it’s my watch and it makes for a very versatile travel watch.

This thread needs pictures! How’s the clasp fit and what color you go for?

I used to love rubber straps. I wore my Sub on a RubberB and my Daytona exclusively on an Everest.

But then I stopped liking them. It happened suddenly and I don't know what caused the shift.

Now I only wear my Rolex on a Rolex strap.

I suppose I could shift again, just as suddenly.

I did want to, but you can’t use the Easylink with it, so there would have been no adjustment. I agree though they look more refined on the clasp.

Hello. Not too difficult, although I didn’t initially realise how much you have to squash in the rubber to get the pins to engage - so they kept popping out. Now I know.

My SD43 and Explorer 36 are both on the bracelets - and I won’t swap those over.

If you like it, that’s what’s important but, to me, the original bracelet is part of the whole package. Akin to putting basic tires on a Porsche.
Just IMHO

Pretty easy, I bought the tools from Everest.

Did both my SD43 and Exp II.

Ended up going back to the oyster on both, but I do like the rubber B. Just have other Rubber Strap watches.

However, be careful, I have I “Nice” memory on my SD43.

to the OP

BLNR looks great on Rubber B Blue.
