Rubber Strap using End Links for GMT Master II
I’ve found I can’t buy a Rolex Oysterflex strap for my GMT Master II. I see Rubber B and Everest have quality rubber straps but they’re curved and butt up directly to the watch case, not compatible with end links.
Is there any alternative for a top quality rubber strap that uses the bracelet end links?

I have a Rubber B for my GMT Master II. I'm not sure I understand your hesitation? You don't want to use Rubber B or Everest because they use their own end links instead of your originals?

OP is looking for this look. I'd recommend holding out for an Oysterflex it's the only quality rubber strap that you can buy that will house end links and work with your OEM clasp. If you don't care about using the original clasp you might open up some other options. If you have a good relationship with any ADs I'd start making some visits and asking if they can order for you.

Wait for the OF bands if you can. It’s the best rubber solution for your GMT.

Custom end links and Bonetto Cinturini.

The Smarty End Links work perfectly with the Oysterflex and 116710.
You don't mention if your GMT Master II is 5 or 6 digit. |
