White strap sea dweller
I've always loved the white and black 'storm trooper' look on my cars and I'm thinking of getting a white strap on my incoming sea dweller
people here seem to like Rubber b, but has anyone tried the Everest ? They look pretty similar? Rubber b white.jpg Everest white 2.jpg |

They are both great brands. The ones with ends compatible with the steel clasp works best IMHO

I love my RubberB on my Daytona C. All I would say is if you have an average wrist size, the RubberB will be fine but people say Everest bands accommodate larger wrists.
I have a 7.25" wrist and only have 3 holes left on the strap (tang buckle). |

Yep, this. My RubberB always pushes the case off my wrist whereas the Everest lays flat. I think a wider wrist span also comes into play as well. I think the RubberB looks better in pictures - the Everest always looked as if it “stuck out too wide,” but on the wrist it all makes sense. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've tried both, and in terms of looks and fit, I prefer the Everest.
The way it wraps around the wrist looks similar to the Oyster Flex, and with this strap the case always sat centered on my wrist. It also has more holes compared to the RubberB, allowing for a better fit. |

They look good in pictures. Not so good on. You’re also gonna lose the glide lock. Theyre no good if you have any wrist swelling either. However for a couple hundred worth trying out for yourself.
