No, because it is red. Too bright. Not even for summer.

Not a fan of red straps. However, it's good as long as you like it.

Excellent strap for those of us who actually use our watches in a non urban setting (no desk diver here)

This is great, I love seeing these types of pictures.

As for the op I think the sub is the most versatile on the Everest straps

I actually prefer the Rubber B. Feels better than Everest to me, and I love the look of it on my GMT. To each his own though.

It's up to you and your personal style. I have a white Everset strap for my 16570 polar. I've probably worn it for maybe 2 weeks total. It's hard to beat the Oyster bracelet.

If Kevin O'Leary can pull it off then you can too. Toying with the idea of a blue rubber band on the Batman but no time soon.

Not for me in that colour. Way too loud.

Black on black dial watches look good. That’s as far as I’d go.

Not my choice of colour but the straps themselves are good. I have the rubber backed nylon covered black one. Very nice but hard to fit on the 14060m without bending spring bars.

IMHO Doesn’t meet the quality standards of AP rubber and Panerai rubber.

As such I don’t see it being more than a passing interest/short time alternative.

Ps even though they advertise it , they do not make a strap for a 14060 that uses Rolex OEM spring bars.

Not in red... I just ordered the Everest in black for my Air King. Hopefully I won't have any problems putting it on. This will be my first time removing my oyster bracelet once I get the tools.

Ok Kevin O'Leary! I like the look. I think Rubber B is a little better overall though. Here's one of mine.

I ordered W&S Spring Bar Plier Tool to remove the spring bars on my oyster to swap to a Everest black rubber. This bar pliers came with 3 pin forks. Which would be the correct pin fork to use. Tip Type and Sizes: U-1.4mm, U-1.0mm, V-1.2mm/Pin). I want to make sure I use the correct one to make it easier to install and not go crazy trying to figure it out or scratch my watch. So, which sizes?
