Rubber B- Easy Link Mod

Been Loving my rubber be on my explorer II. I have been so used to having a glide lock or easy like extension for end of days when my wrist swelled so did this quick mod on a rubber b with easy link and has worked out fantastic!!

I hope that works well for you! I personally wouldn't cut up a strap of this value.

btw. Doesn't Rubber B make a strap for the glidelock?

Wasn’t excited About having to cut it but it was getting way too tight late in the day for me and didn’t have a choice and this is on the explorer 2 bracelet which only has a easy link attachment.

I’m not sure, I have an Everest band for my sub which is compatible with the glidelock. Everest doesn’t make a rubber option for the 216570 42mm Explorer yet.

Did the same to my rubberb for my Explorer II and it’s amazing. I wish they offered it as a standard option.

If the cuts where clean it would look pretty nice,I do applaud you for taking the plunge to modify it.
