RubberB from Explorer II on Submariner?

Anyone know if I can put a RubberB strap made for a pre-2011 Explorer II on a 2010 Submariner 14060M no date?

Just did it with my Everest strap (they don't make a strap for the 14060)

I had to cut away the ridge that contacts the bottom of the case.

Looks great together imho.

No it does not fit, the lug holes position is off on the 14060m.
RubberB makes a different strap for the 14060/14060m case

The 14060M does not have the machined lip on the back-side of the case to locate SEL's and some rubber straps.

As mentioned, you would have to cut off the locating tab on the back of those straps that have one, or grind off the lip on the backside of SEL bracelets.

Rubber straps with no locating tab will probably fit without issue..

I used an exacto knife to cut away the lip. It's not perfect but pretty darn good
