I rely on Rubber B rather than Everest, but that's just my point of view.

Another suggestion would be to look at Vanguard straps.

Vanguard are definitely good although not quite at Rubber B level.

Having said that I’ve had a Vanguard on my BB GMT for about a year and I was pretty happy before changing to Rubber B.

Now in the process of upgrading to Rubber B on everything.

My rubber b looked amazing on my gmt! However it lasted about 5/6 years and then started falling apart!

Just bought one from Horus Straps. I'll post it when I get it. I sent one to a friend for his Daytona too. We will see if he likes it!

I agree. I have used inexpensive rubber and leather straps for many years and have never had an issue. There are some great rubber straps on ebay that I have purchased recently.This one is high qualitystrap.JPG

Put strap on and the quality is good. This Horus rubber strap is perfect for this watch and the price is great.

Are there any high-quality straps that have a clasp like a glide loc?

Thanks

You can buy Everest straps made
For use with your existing glide lock- it’s
What I’ve done and worth every cent.

Crafter Blue & Vanguard are good quality and excellent value for money. I have used them on my Tudors for the last couple of years.

For me Tempomat are the best quality-price straps. i bought recently one of their new FKM vulcanized rubber strap collection for rolex for 150 USD.

Extremelly recommend.

Definitely dont skimp on rubber straps, the good ones are drastically better than the really cheap ones.

I don't like Horus rubber, its too firm for my taste. Havent had a Rubber B, but would buy that over Everest between the 2. Horus is my choice though for quality rubber straps. More flexible and a better fit/feel. I have a handful of their straps that I've worn on many different watches.

Each to their own but on a watch that's more than $10k I'm not sure I'd be looking for a cheap strap

I've heard Everest are quite good
