Icon20 The Rubber B Strap. An Honest Review.

Hi guys!

I wanted to post my review on the Rubber B strap, as when I was considering buying, I wasn't able to find many detailed reviews of the vulchromatic strap (two tone rubber strap). I paired this up with my Explorer II (16570). Overall a great strap, which isn't bad given the price and the unique look. Do feel free to share your thoughts on this.

Rubber B With The Rolex Explorer 2

Best.

Nice review - thanks for sharing. Soon as they start selling these (or Everest) for the Black Bay I'll be all over it.

I believe everest is also making a strap for the BB too.

Angelo, how you liking your BB these days? Getting a lot of wrist time?

Hi Chadri. I love the Black Bay. It gets equal time with the Explorer.

Got a Nomos Club Datum last week to add to the rotation. Also a great watch.

That's a beautiful watch Angelo! Congrats. looks like a great fit for the rotation. Meant to tell you the other day, if you're back on LI looking at watches, you should check out London Jewelers in Manhasset. They have a ridiculous selection of watches to drool over.

Thanks Chadri. I needed a lighter dial watch to offset the two black dials. I would have preferred not having the date but the larger size without the date would have been too large. I could always flip it later if Nomos comes out with this same size (38.5mm) without the date. If not, it's a keeper.

Apologies to the OP. I'm not trying to hijack your thread.

Both the Explore II review and the Rubber B review are excellent. Yours is one of the best professional reviews out there with good points.
