Have to say I just don't care for the rubber however high quality it may be. But what matters is if you like it!

However high quality it may be, the rubber just doesn't do it for me. But the real question is - do you like it?

Without exaggeration, I have tried all kinds of straps and bracelets on many sizes of watch. That includes silicone and rubber. The look of rubber and the functionality are great, undeniably. In my case, I found them uncomfortable and won't be buying any more of them.

I like it and what's the harm when you can swap back any time?

I say Rubber for the summertime! Jubilee is a timeless look.

Although i don't like the looks of a jubilee (too shiny and too present), i have to say stick with jubilee.
I don't like it at all with rubber.

Fully agreed

Is this a Rubber B? Nice combo.
