Everest or Rubber B

I just bought a RubberB for my Tudor GMT, and will fit it soon.

I found their customer service to be superb. I sent them a question through their website and they called me from Miami a couple of hours later to give me an answer. I ordered the strap last Monday and it was delivered to me in France on Wednesday. Pretty damn good.

Interesting, I've referenced that review previously in other threads. Nice job!!! Be careful you're not accused of working for Everest.

Two Everest straps on my watches. SD4K and THBBN feel great on the wrist with the Everest. Picked up one used at half off. No complaints what so ever. Can't compare to the RubberB but no need for me to fix what ain't broken. Both appear to do the job well. It's a good idea to do research yourself as well aside from depending on the input from the crowd.

I prefer everest for several reasons, but here's my basic run down...

Quality: very similar, both excellent products

Design: aside form style and look which I address below, I give a huge nod to everest on the fact that the deployant bands are ordered to size vs rubber b which have to be cut. This obviously doesn't factor into the tang buckle versions from either company.

Style and cosmetic appearence: I like Everest better, but that's totally subjective

Comfort and feel: while this is also relatively subjective, I do find everest to be more supple which in turn makes their rubber more comfortable IMO. It also has to do with the design of the band and your wrist shape. I prefer how the everest band sort of has a natural curvature that starts bending directly off the case, vs rubber b which has that blocky end link (look) that comes out first and than starts bending down.

The only strap that I find superior in appearance from rubber B is the DSSD which I think looks amazing (never tried it though).

Everest is great. Had mine for 2 years and it is flawless
