Personally I think if you buy the correct size rubbers, you shouldn’t need straps for it.

They’re supposed to fit pretty snug.

I know, I know, everyone thinks they’re XL.

Love the look, the comfort and the "reinvention" of the SD/SUB wrist presence.

Everest are also Swiss made and are vulcanized rubber too. I've been wearing my 14060 on an Everest band and find it really comfortable!

More like Made in China with "Swiss Rubber"? I think they're misleading their customers IMHO. There is no such thing as Swiss Rubber and Vulcanized rubber doesn't come from Switzerland either. It comes from Thailand, Indonesia, India, Malaysia.....

That top statement speaks of their leather straps. Those are good and stamped "Swiss Made" like your Rolex. The rubber ones not so much or does your rubber strap says Swiss Made?

Read this thread don't just take my word for it:

At the end people like what they like but you have to be truthful about it. This is wordplay & not what yo should expect from a "high end" company.

I ordred the EVEREST with 4x4 link fitment, allowing me to keep the OE links still showing either side of the clasp.
Picking it up tomorrow.

While I'm pleased with the fit and feel of my Everest rubber strap, it does feel not quite right stating that their straps are made in Switzerland without making the distinction that they're referring to the leather straps and not the rubber. Thanks for your thoughtful reply!

Interesting to know. When I bought my 116610LV it came with an extra Rubber B strap from the seller. It does say Swiss Made on it. Never thought much of it since its made for Rolex but good to know there are differences.
