Anyone have one? Considering one for a GMT ceramic. Are they any good ?

I have owned several. The fit and feel are excellent and are the best aftermarket straps you can get for the GMT. I can also recommend a strap made by Vagenari which is comparable to rubber B but cheaper and with more color options.
Good luck

They’re as good as they get. For a GMT the green striped M103CD that uses the original clasp is the obvious choice. If you prefer not to use the clasp then opt for the M106CD with tang buckle.

I have an Everest on my Sub. I like it. No wear issues after 4 years.

Agreed

AF_Rob · 28 May 2019, 01:48 AM

This will be the third summer I’ve had mine for my 16570, I enjoy it. Considering the watch runs about $10k, why not a couple hundred? It’s a nice seamless look.

Some have been critical here, might want to read up on their concerns before you buy.

They didn't work for me. The strap holes are way too far apart, can't find an optimal fit.

Anthony808 · 28 May 2019, 02:13 AM

I have both Rubber B and Everest. My wrist is just over 7.50“ and the Rubber B is a little too short with the tang buckle. The Everest is a little softer and longer which ends up being more comfortable for me. Appearance wise, they both look good but I prefer the look of Rubber B a little more.

sunnygps · 28 May 2019, 08:17 AM

Here is mine on RubberB. The fit and finish is great. I will occasionally switch to RubberB when I am going on vacation.

APPRF · 28 May 2019, 05:25 PM

Very Nice

smym18 · 29 May 2019, 01:58 AM

I really liked mine until switched back to the bracelet and lost the Rubber B.

bravetony · 29 May 2019, 11:00 PM

That green line really looks good with that watch. These are mine:

Sakket29 · 30 May 2019, 04:56 AM

I just can't justify the price, but I guess compared to the price of our watches, having a reputable watch band company gives us piece of mind ��

MesaSean · 30 May 2019, 05:00 AM

I put a white one on my LV from time to time. I love it during the summer weather.

That's hot bro. I used to do a white NATO on my Sub. Haven't done it for the past 3 years or so.

Yes. I have a couple of them and Everest Bands too. You can’t go wrong with either one of them.

The orange is quite the player. I’m still in that no-mans land stage where I can’t bear the thought of swapping out the Jubilee just yet in favour of a rubber. The time will come.

rolexinfl · 30 May 2019, 11:51 PM

the everest is a much better band with much better customer service

How so? I figured it was just personal preference given both are very high quality. I prefer the look (detail around the lug area) and the texture of the rubber b over the Everest. I feel the rubber b has a much closer look (texture and color) to the Oyster Flex which was what I was after.

I can’t comment on the customer service, never had needed.

Sweeping statements indeed.

I had two Rubber B straps on my RG Daytona and I could not fault the quality of both straps, which was exceptional.

So I am afraid I have to call BS on your "Everest is a much better band" comment

Whilst Everest may be preferred by some on here, Rubber B is, by a small margin, the higher quality product.

(I should add that I had nothing but exceptional service from Rubber B also)

robomat13 · 31 May 2019, 02:15 AM

Here are some facts since I've been on some posts where there seems to be a pattern by this forum member to defame a well respected company in the watch industry.

Rubber B - Rolex, Patek Phillipe, Audemars Piguet, Panerai, Tudor, Roger Dubuis OEM straps, different technologies and textures of vulcanized rubber.

Everest- Rolex, Tudor, same exact design in rubber, very good quality leather straps

There is no comparison. Rubber B is in a completely different level.

Probably a dumb question, but why do some straps have the Rolex clasp and others have a normal watch band mechanism?
