Rubber B compatibility

Hi guys - if anyone has tried, I wanted to know the Rubber B compatibility between two different watches.

For example, the bracelets between a subC and GMTII 78200 can be swopped, is it the same for a Rubber B?

Reason why I asked is that I ordered one for a sub, and it would be nice to use it as well on a GMT2 or daytona.

And on Rubber Bs website it is very specific that each band is for each watch.

Although they claim all are custom, I’ve used my rubber b strap (ordered for my 39mm explorer 1) on my 16520, 5513,1016, and 16710 and it fit fine.

Rubber B made for GMT II BLRO fits perfectly on my SubC 114060, by cutting the band shorter. Albeit, not backwards compatible of course.

Thanks guys, did you use the spring bars from the model of the watch linked to the rubber b or did you have to utilise the others?

Actually I called them once and they did not claim each watch has its own strap. They explained to me that each Rolex case has its own Rubber B strap. For example the Milgauss and Airking share the exact same Rolex case and pin locations. So they share the same RB strap. But the Milgauss strap won't mount a Submariner and vice-versa. It just so happens that the Submariners share the same case as other sporty models like old GMT's (not ceramic) and some other 39 or 40mm sizes. But they are not all the same. I do know that if Rubber B sells you a strap for your watch you select on the web, then it will fit that watch absolutely perfectly. They do not give crappy fitment or aftermarket pins because they don't need them. Only straps that are built to mount a million watches need pins to make sure they fit em all. And then it looks loose and like shite on half of them. Yeah, stick with Rubber B for the most accurate fitment.

Wondering the same thing for my DJ41 ref 126300. They don't have any available for the DJ41 yet, but the milgauss and dj41 both have 20mm lugs.

You sure? I know the DJ2 is 21mm but I’m pretty sure the new Datejusts are slimmer, according to google at least.

EDIT: nvm, just measured my DJ41 it is indeed 21mm. Great lol, anyone know any rubber straps that are compatible?
