Hi all,

So I recently bought a rubber B with a rolex clasp. Now the issue is that I have freakishly thin wrists, not sure why, but I'm pissed about it. So the clasp doesn't sit flat on my wrist, and i can't adjust the 12 o'clock strap (as that is the side that's too long). I ended up looking at Rubber B's FAQ and they recommended that I switch the 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock straps, as a human wrists are asymmetrical. Well, I did that, and the clasp STILL doesn't sit flat on my wrist....Any advice????

Puberty did it for me.

Give it to your wife.

Just kidding. How small are your wrists?

LOL according to the responses...I'm assuming that it's hopeless...lol My wrists are roughly 5 inches...

I don't know if this would work but could you buy a Rolex Glidelock clasp and trim the long end of the rubber strap to make it fit on your wrist.

What Dave suggested and I'm not familiar with the Rubber B Strap. But could you find a way to trim down the rubber strap and then reattach it to the Rolex Clasp???

First question,
Which clasp are you using?
93250 is best imho, as it uses a half link for the connection to the rubber strap.
93150 uses full link & may not sit as well.
Also clasp from explorer is an option but still not an improvement, it is visually different however with the shorter visible part of the clasp.

So the clasp is a 93150, but the issue is that one strap is really too long. the only way I can think of shortening the length is by cutting it and then re-attaching the rubber back together...is this possible? Do I need to use rubber cement?

Try a different clasp. Try isoprane. Or just live with it.

I wouldn't rely on a welded rubber strap to securely hold my rolex.

Isofrane makes a very nice rubber strap that would probably fit you well, it is a bit more sporty than the rubberb.
