Everest vs. Rubber B

Looking for a rubber strap for my Bluesy. Which company has a color that matches the pacific blue the best?

Never mind; misunderstood the question. Curious about the answer.

Everest hands splay out from the wrist rather than going straight down like a Rubber B. This is a worse look in my eyes.

I highly regard Vanguard and have several. They are close to Rubber B in quality but at a much more reasonable price.

For the colour you need though, take a look at Horus.

Precisely the greatest advantage of the Everest!

Perhaps I can elaborate on my comment for clarity:

Rubber B & Vanguard: look better on the wrist (imo) for both Rolex and Tudor.

Everest (I had one on my Tudor GMT) looks worse as it bulges out from the wrist. Some people say it gets better as it ‘breaks in’. My take is not sure I consider that an accurate observation; I really didn’t like the bulge and nothing would shift the belief that I’d bought the wrong product for me.

Conclusion: I’m looking to sell my Everest but will keep both Rubber B and Vanguard.

If anything, Rubber B is better for Rolex as it is clearly designed with the slimmer Rolex case in mind whereas Vanguard mirrors the Tudor heft very well.

My wrist size is 7”.

I've got the Rubber B and love it. It's well made and perfect fit. Can't comment on Everest as I've never owned one. Color match was one of your questions and it appears to be spot on.

Seems like Rubber B is the favorite child here.
