Hey guys quick question- curved end rubber straps from Everest will fit fine on vintage subs, correct?

If so, anyone have any pics?

Thanks in advance.

Vintage vintage? Or modern vintage ;-) 5 digits?

@southlonestar, gathered a few from my pseudo vintage. Got 3 colours, love all, but I get tired of them quickly, nothing beats the SS originals.

It’s a 1967 5513. Thank you for the photos, I’ll pass them along! Beauties.

My wife bought me an Everest leather strap for my Daytona and it is a quality package, but just didn't wear comfortably for me.

I recently bought a Zealande rubber strap for my Speedmaster. Very comfortable, very nice construction with quality hardwear. I also bought their "Expert tool kit" which is very useful. I was sent a hand-written thank you note with my purchase.

I'm personally not keen. Think that self-regarding peacock Kevin O'Leary has only red ones on his collection... I'm meh whatever...old scruffy grey/blue M.O.D Phoenix NATO's and some other less pricey NATO's though look great imho.

the straps (both rubber b and Everest. I tried both) definitely do not fit with the 14060 subs.

the rubber strap can be made to fit if you use a very narrow/non-OEM/non correct size springbar.

I personally am not attaching my Rolex to my wrist using anything other than the correctly sized OEM springbars.

the idea of compromising the security of my watch to accommodate a cheap rubber strap is absurd to me.

I certainly did not have any issues with my Everest on the 14060 and, as always, I have used original Rolex spring bars.

This is what I've bought:

Maybe they changed design?
