Rubber B - rubber straps for Rolex
« on: June 20, 2012, 09:44:45 PM »
Hi, anybody knows about these Rubber Straps for Rolexes? You can look up for them with the link below :

(Apologies but no links to external commercial site)

Can we find them here in Malaysia or Singapore?

Regards

Google watchlim, he sells those rubber B straps.
And you can get them online at rubber B's official website.
Or an alternative would be everest bands, same type rubber straps for Rolex.
Should be launching soon according to their fb page and website.

i have one of these rubberBs, it's pretty good.

but problem is because it's 1 size fits all. make sure your wrist is rather big (above 6.5", if not u will likely be switching sides).

have looked at them many times but have yet to be convinced about rubber. my memories of rubber/plastic bands on watches is smelly at best. and the price point is rather high for something to try and throw if not satisfied.

i believe they do sell the shorter bands now for smaller wrists.

Wow I googled watchlim and was impressed with the number of watches he has. Has anyone here dealt with him? How is he as a seller?

Been looking at RubberB since they were announced. Only 2 issues have held me back.

1. Price.

2. The odd look where the rubber strap meets the clasp (screw side).

i have been eyeing them for the past 2 yrs as well...n didnt pull the trigger bcos the way the strap meets the rolex clasp is too 'clashing'...but they have recently launched a new version with a normal tang buckle...still sitting on the fence on this one...RM800 is a lot to pay for a piece of rubber  :o

Exactly what I was thinking as well seeing that the AP original rubber strap is cheaper than RubberB...

Somehow it looks a bit "off" to me. Still prefer the traditional steel bracelet. No offense!

Guys,

Any idea where to get rubber straps for Longines/ Tag Heuer/ Omega besides the company itself? I'm avoiding paying extra for the branding instead of the quality of the strap.

Thanks in advance.

I back Everest Bands when they launched on Kickstarter. The quality is not bad but their customer service leaves much to be desired. I received my black band but not the complimentary green band promised to early backers. They have repeatedly ignored my emails.

As such the black band is just sitting in my drawer.

I actually backed the project for the free green band for my green sub. The black doesn't look as good so I just never even put it on the watch. Maybe in the future, it would look good on a GMT Master, when I add one to my collection.
