I like it better on the original bracelet, but if you love it that's all that matters. It does give the watch a bit of a sportier look though.

Never seen the RubberB with an older "tin can" clasp. Thanks for posting though. Still waiting for it to come out for the SubC. No idea why they came out with one for the DSSD before the Sub as they should be very similar.

The same one shown by Michael here on his GMT should fit the Sub just fine.

The strap look great Michael, but the off center buckle would drive me crazy like that!
Did you cut it at all, and is there any length left on the 6 side to to bring the clasp back around to the middle of your underside wrist?

Just not for me I'm afraid.

It's like putting bicycle wheels on a Porche 911 Turbo.

Oyster bracelet.

only rubber on a watch that looks and feels good is an aquanaut

clever marketing though, slap some 50p rubber on a rolex and start a trend

If you like it that is all that matters.

I do not like rubber straps at all and do not think this looks good. I much prefer bracelets.
