How is Everest making a better rubber strap than Rolex themselves?
Having got a new Everest strap for my BLNR I am left wondering how Rolex hasn't caught up with their oysterflex bands. The gaps next to the case are so unsightly in my opinion.

The gap only exists on the YM.
All of the Daytonas on OF have a fixed end link with no gap. And OF straps (gap aside) are miles ahead of Everest on quality

what criteria are you comparing? Thickness? Flexibility? Permiability? Stain Resistance? Softness?

Oysterflex is the most comfortable rubber strap you'll find.

These bands are absolute quality! Love them! Unable to comment on the quality compared to Rolex though!

Hi guys,, I'm new and can't start new thread yet but have a question concerning Zulu 5 ring straps. I am only an average sized guy but if I wear a zulu correctly, with the double wrap around the keepers on both ends, I can't find one that will fit. Even a 12 in is at least .5 in too short. I can't find a strap in excess of 12. Any suggestions?

Cause Rolex hasn’t contracted Bonetto to make them.
