DeepSea on a rubber strap

Hi,

I am looking to put a rubber strap on a deepsea. If any of you have done the same would you possibly be able to post some pics and let me know where the straps have been purchased from to give me an idea of options and available styles. I am also keen to see if people generally retain the ss clasp.

Many thanks

I know it’s not a Deep Sea but it’s close...

MREBANT i like this a lot. I have always been a fan of adding a bit of colour on the strap and have been considering getting a black strap with blue detail to match the face. Where was this strap purchased from?.

This strap is from RubberB. I know they have several variations on color accents. My SD43 was only available in black or red but the DSSD May have more options...

antbkny - I like the idea of the blue accent on the black strap with the blue dial. Could you show me a picture of the clasp. Have you retained the Rolex clasp or do they provide an aftermarket one with the strap?

the color accents are only available on the rubberb with the tang buckle, shown here https://rubberb.com/en/strap-rolex-d...ed-tang-series

Here is the one where you use your Rolex clasp, which only comes in all black
https://rubberb.com/en/rolex-watch-b...delock-edition

Ps. These straps fit ref. 116660; if you have the latest deepsea ref. 126660 they are not available yet.

The black rubber really makes the blue pop. Beautiful.

I’ve got 10 Deepsea rubber B’s. I prefer the tang buckle as the wider strap looks and feels better. Red and blue colours look awesome.

yes they are wider than the stock bracelet but I don’t have measurements. If you prefer something not as wide, Everest makes a rubber strap also.

I have 2 rubber B for my black Deepsea. Right now I am favoring the Red, awesome look. The other is a black. The Rubber B makes the watch sooooo comfortable.

Love the James Cameron but other than for function surely they look far better with a metal strap?

That red pin stripe on the outside of the band looks super cool & really compliments the red text on the dial.

Could I just ask is it Everest or RubberB?

Thanks

Looks good and fits nicely on the wrist with a rubber strap.

On a rubber strap, it really looks more like a diver to me. I know plenty of divers come on bracelets, but for some reason it just looks like it was meant to come on a rubber strap.
