I have a rubber b on my Explorer 2 it’s very comfy, but I’m not a fan of bracelets anyway.

Good shout. Just need to find a reliable jeweller to do the work

Looks awesome! I’m going to do that! Which clasp option did you choose?

There was something about the Milgauss strap sitting low on the AirK case that they did not like so they don't recommend it. This is the second strap I plan to purchase from Rubber B. Their technical knowledge on watches is very impressive.

The Milgauss is a deeper case and sits higher than the Air King so that’s probably right about different straps.

I chose the SS Tang Buckle version.



I chose it mostly for convenience. I also chose it for athletic/sport activities that I didn’t want the bracelet to be scratched or damaged such as fishing, swimming, running, diving, racquetball, tennis, frisbee golf etc. I’m pretty active and it’s nice to have a watch that I can clean and rinse off regardless of whether I’m wearing a rubber strap or bracelet

Many have stated if it’s not on the bracelet it doesn’t look like a Rolex. At times I’m more than fine with that and have used that to my advantage when I’m in an unfamiliar area or with people I know where I wish to be discreet. It still allows me to wear my Rolex without anyone caring what I’m wearing or bringing up unwanted attention.

I’ve found the Rubber B to be extremely comfortable. I still prefer the bracelet overall but I find myself switching to and from the Rubber B quite often depending on what I will be doing and where I will be going that day.

Looks good, too bad they don’t make one big enough for my wrist.

I like the tang buckle, Seanofthedead! Planning on picking up a new Seasmaster when they come out in July, so I plan on putting my Explorer on that RubberB and using it as a “beater”, when I’m doing stuff outside, washing the car, swimming, etc. Since it’s usually the bracelet and clasp that take the abuse, I’ll probably get my bracelet re-finished and swap out for more formal stuff.

They have many options now with clasp vs tang vs Velcro and multiple options across their vulchramatic range. Really a great product
