Rubber B for Fathers Day
Got a rubber b for Fathers Day! Such a different feel and look. Obviously love the bracelet, but a fun change up.
Did have a question for those with a similar setup. I noticed the bezel needs a little more force to rotate, this to be expected? |

Looks good! The strap shouldn't affect the bezel rotating as it sits slightly above the bracelet....with the rubber b on does it rub? someone else with a strap should be able to give you a better answer, I'm still waiting for one for my sd43.

just noticed that when off the wrist it turns easy... probably just the shape of my wrist and the rubber... Obviously nothing major at all, and absolutely love the comfort! Did take me a while fitting it on my watch as I was trying to be very cautious with the sharp tools. Hopefully I will get faster with changing. The curve of the rubber at the end links adds to the challenge imo, but this is why I went with the rubber b, I liked how it curved down vs the Everest strap.

Fellow rubber b on no date, mine also rubs and has a little more resistance when rotating the bezel. Love the Rubber B though, especially with glidelock.

Yes this appears to be normal. Have a white Rubber B on my 116619LB and the bezel does not turn 100% free. Probably because of the tight tolerances Rolex manufactures their watches. It hasn't annoyed me so far but if I would attempt to improve it, i'd probably take a tiny bit of sandpaper and rub at the part of the bracelet that touches the bezel. That should do the trick.

Glidelock with the rubber b I’m sure is the best!! I asked for the tang buckle for ease of swapping. And I’m happy to report I’m dead center with the buckle for a perfect fit!
