I got my first Rolex yesterday. I generally enjoy bands more than bracelets. I ordered the green band from Everest before the watch arrived. I swapped it out today. The Everest band is quite nice and comfortable.

Honestly I am way more impressed with the bracelet on this watch than I thought I would be. I think I will be swapping back pretty soon but I do like having both options to change things up occasionally. Here are a couple pics.

Cool. Can you upload a photo of the clasp side? Thanks!

Looks good.

bdittmar · 24 August 2019, 09:17 AM

Looks good! I’ve been thinking about getting a black Everest band for my LN. Lends a sporty look

Chewbacca · 24 August 2019, 09:30 AM

It looks great. Best 6d GMT imop.

Sorry I see you asked for the clasp. It was an option to order one that uses the original clasp but as I plan to swap the bracelet and this band frequently I just went with the buckle option to make the swap easier.

I’m an original bracelet kind of guy but congratulations on the watch - it’s a beauty.

Odie-r · 24 August 2019, 09:24 PM

I like the watch, and the strap. Nice play.

Rolliedon · 24 August 2019, 10:09 PM

Not feeling it.

1William · 24 August 2019, 10:17 PM

I like it as an alternative. The bracelets on Rolex watches are so good it is hard for me to go anywhere else.

TK116710 · 25 August 2019, 02:03 AM

Big fan of swapping frequently between my black RubberB and the original gmt bracelet. The watch looks and feels very different between the two and I love them both!

Macnavara · 25 August 2019, 02:05 AM

Looks bad...imo get it back to how its supposed to be asap

calatravaquanautilus · 25 August 2019, 03:01 AM

The Rubber Police are on their way. Here comes the avalanche!

Looks great, congrats!

djgallo · 25 August 2019, 06:31 AM

I like it and it compliments the green GMT hand! Enjoy!!!

winger14 · 25 August 2019, 08:06 AM

I always thought i’d want to stick to the original bracelet but i’m tempted to get a green rubber strap for my TT GMT.

Wes911 · 25 August 2019, 08:24 AM

Wore it to work today. Decided I am not really feeling it and have already put the bracelet back on.
It is very comfortable and wears nice. No problems with the quality or anything like that. On my other watches I have been taking bracelets off and going with alternate bands. This being my first Rolex I underestimated how impressed I would be with the bracelet. Honestly I felt like it made the watch look a little to casual and almost didn't do it justice. Possibly because I literally put in on the day after I got the watch. Maybe after I have had the watch for a while I will try it again. Sort of regret spending the money on it now.

Good move. I like it best on the bracelet as well. The modern bracelets on Rolex sports models are all too good to be left in the WatchBox. Hold on to the rubber strap. There are enough Rubber lovers on TRF so you should have no trouble selling it if you later decide that’s what you want to do.

Calatrava r · 25 August 2019, 10:37 AM

I like the green strap. Matches the GMT hand.

Fits the watch well. Benetton Edition GMT

AK797 · 26 August 2019, 12:33 AM

Black with green stripe rubberb would look better.

MCO1 · 26 August 2019, 01:49 AM

I have been itching to try an Everest but I don't know which color or watch. This looks really good!
