Looks interesting and very distinctive. Would be good to see a hairy-armed wrist shot (if you'll pardon the expression) to get the full effect.

The white is not doing it for me either. Maybe post a wrist shot?

Not for me I'm afraid. Trying hard now to somehow 'unsee' this image in my minds eye.

Straps often change or upgrade the look of existing watch. It is less expensive than to buy a new watch. I occasionally play with straps, but do not have the guts to replace those oyster bracelets. Panerai bracelets are fun to play with though.

These rubber straps are incredibly light and comfortable. They remind you just how substantial the rolex bracelets are!

Been wearing the new Everest strap for a few days now. It's super comfortable . However some friends commented white rubber strap makes the Exp2 looks too feminine for men's watch .

Stainless bracelet still looks the best. But the exp2 in rubber makes the watch much lighter and a better all around sports watch

How well does it fit? The fitment to the head looks remarkable. I love that there's no gap on there. Was it easy to install? I have a hulk and bluesy that I've been interested in redressing.

Installation is easy . The store watch maker installed it in less than 5 minutes.
I am not sure if the white rubber would stain or fade over time. I work in the hospital and get exposure to blood, cidex disinfectant, and wiping alcohol during bed side procedure all the time. Hope the everest rubber strap takes the abuse well

I see we both like white straps! I love my Rubber B but i've also heard a bunch of good stuff from Everest as well.

Congrats!!
