just wondering how many prefer their deepsea with a rubber band over the steel? and if so do you feel it improves the wear ability of the watch or is it just for looks?

There's nothing like the original bracelet. The rubber makes it lighter and just an overall different look. I have my sub on rubber during summer and it's very comfy.

they look awesome. thanks for the picks.

Rubber B here as well. Like a feather. Wonderful! Changed with rubber an year ago and since never ever even thought of going back to priginal bracelet.

I prefer the Rubber B vs the Bracelet, however I switch back and forth from time to time. Rubber B (IMO) is much more comfortable.

No, I really cannot understand the allure of a simple stamped piece of rubber over a very well and beautiful engineered bracelet fitted with the best clasp ever made since the beginning of watchmaking

Not many seem to go the rubber b with the Rolex clasp , that would seem to be the ultimate setup.

moorery2001 · 24 May 2018, 06:38 AM

IMHO this video explains the allure rather well

At least from what Rubber B has to offer.

Nice video, but have you ever seen that YM on its bracelet

FiguredMaple · 24 May 2018, 07:25 AM

I hate the heat and stickiness of a rubber band. The rubber has a nice look, but the steel bracelet is superior.

Just put mine on a rubberB and won’t go back anytime soon. Very impressive!

jeffgo888 · 24 May 2018, 09:40 AM

Boaters · 24 May 2018, 09:42 AM

That's a valid point, but I have to admit that I enjoy the look of the rubber strap. I'm fortunate as I have watches in both... bracelet and rubber. I'm too lazy to try to switch my GMT over to rubber at times, but I bet it would look like a totally different watch. Comfort wise, I'm not feeling much if any differences from the bracelet or the rubber (Breiting, Omega) banded watches.

For me, it almost seems that it comes down to what individual look one prefers as opposed to function. I do wonder if my Big Blue Omega would look good with a SS bracelet though- since the body is solid blue too.

I like Rubber B. Especially the Glidelock Edition.
