Vintage Rolex Bands
Hi all. I have a 1968 Submariner 5513 and wanted to get a rubber Everest Watch Band. I contacted the company and they had informed me that they do not make bands for my year of watch. Can anyone recommend a good brand of rubber watch band for vintage 5513's. Thanks.

Apparently they sell rubber straps to fit a ref 1675 GMT. They may not be exactly the same, but pretty close.

You could check out Watch Gecko. I bought a tropical strap a few years back for my 5513.

I agree with Adam. The curved ends on Rubber B and Everest don’t do it for me. A good quality tropic looks way better. I’ve even rocked an Uncle Seiko waffle on my 1680 and it looks and feels great!

Watch Gecko are great. I've ordered some rubber natos from them
I like the idea of the tropic rubber or Uncle Seiko waffle |
