Rubber B Option for the Oyster Perpetual 116000

[Tossit]

Hi. Im really fond of the blue dialed 116000 with the arabic numerals. Thinking about getting it when my AD get it in stock.

But i have a question. Is there a Rubber B that would fit? And do you think a black rubber strap would look good together with the blue dial?

Rubber B don't do a strap specifcally for any of the 36mm references.

You could always email them and ask?

I am wearing that particular model now and looking at it I really cant see a black rubber working. Blue leather maybe but I would stick with the lovely bracelet.

Can't answer your first question but I do think that black and blue would go great together.

Ask your inquiries via info@rubberb.com

I had a question about sizing and their customer service department was extremely helpful.

Bought them a while ago for a 116200 Datejust no longer have, had used them since on a TOG, a Tudor DD and now on the OP. Also have another set from George used on my gone 116710 GMT and 116520 Daytona

The blue strap looks great. Almost looks black :)

I asked rubberb if they had a strap for the 116000, but they told me to check back in 2018.

Super old thread, but I just got a 116000 and found a rubber strap on Etsy. I will share when I can post pictures.

Amazing!
That strap combination makes the watch look well smart.

Here’s mine I got from Etsy since Rubber B doesn’t make one for this model. Rubber is great quality, buckle is decent. Would ideally swap for an authentic Rolex one if I can find a good deal. Great option though for $50, IMO.

Everest makes them for the DJ36 five digit watches; talk to them as well as they might also fit the OP.

Cool, thanks. I honestly couldn’t justify spending $200+ for a rubber strap. The one I got seems like a great value (time will tell on quality). Only thing I would change is getting my hands on a Rolex clasp.

Very nice strap there. I looks like the Everest brand straps. How well do you think it will hold up?

I see no issue with quality at all, to be honest. Definitely think it will hold up just fine.

[whatsthetime?]

I have the Rubber B for my Sub C and opted for the strap that integrates the GlideLock Clasp. I know it's expensive fo 2 strip of rubber, but it was well worth it due to its function, fit, comfort, and sporty looks against the Sub!

Hate to revive an old thread, but where which Etsy listing did you use?

[Yess]

Reviving this old, old thread instead of starting a new one.

Any updates in 2020 for a high quality rubber strap for the Oyster Perp?
