I like Everest and have black strap, which is very versatile.
Red is not bad for casual wearing.

Black rubber can be nice. I have the Everest nylon covered one. Similar to sail clothtype strap on a FF. Works well.

Some look cool, I'm generally not a fan on rolex watches, but do whatever rocks your boat!

Doesn't work for me, but I typically don't like Rolex on rubber.

I like the change up of rubber straps. I'm sure there's a reason you went with the red vs something more monochromatic like black or grey. Wear it and enjoy it!

I think it might look better on something with red lettering or a red second hand perhaps.

I dont like rubber on Rolex models,but I prefer Rubber B on older Rolex models,because old bracelets become wider and lazy.Finally red rubber is a good choice.

Nay. Like the Rubber B on a few models though. Have to have soemthing in the dial to bring it together. The YMII above looks killer. Like it on the JC with the blue line too. Maybe if you had an SD43? Perhaps it's your lighting, but it has more of a salmon look to it.

I love the Everest’s leather strap with SEL...


The Rubber-B design looks cheap to me


Cheers..

The red seems a little faded in the pics. I might like it more if the red pops more (like the nylon band you are wearing) so nay for me on that color.

I have a plain black Everest and a bicolor with red stripe Rubber B for my GMT Master. Everest has a little more sheen to the material and RB is more matte black. I like them both. BTW, the spring bars that come with the Everest bands are for the modern non-holes cases - had to order the vintage style bars separately after testing fitting the band on my 16700.

I have the black Rubber B on my Sea-Dweller 43. I think black is the best
strap is best on Rolex.

I'm giving it a thumbs UP! I have a black Everest on my GMT, far superior to Rubber B without the nonsense cutting to install, the faux rubber end links, etc. Face it, both brands are obscenely overpriced, but between a rubber strap and the original bracelet it's like having 2 different watches.
