Before, After & Viceversa

I can't recommend enough Everest bands, quality is top, comfort is great and just a great way to change up your rolex, another great benefit is that your watch just flies under the radar. I go from oyster to rubber back and forth, feels like I own two watches almost.

How do people switch straps so easily? I'm scared to death of scratching up my lugs.

You need the right tools. Takes some practice. I recommend buying some beater Seikos to try it on first.

I am now a HUGE fan of the Everest products. I just had a curved leather band put on my Explorer this Saturday and I was stunned at how great it looked and the quality of the product itself. I like the Oyster band well enough, but i was in the market for something a tad more subdued and lighter for the summer here in the Carolina's. (plus, I don't see too many folks with a Rolex on a aftermarket band, which is cool also).

I was struggling between the curved vs metal end link setup... I called the company and they gave me some great input to think about and ended up with the curved. I took it to my AD for a change which they did for free... no way I try to change out myself. The tolerances are insanely tight, making for a very clean factory look.

I can totally see more of these in the future for different seasons... TOTALLY changes the vibe of the watch which I love.

It's all about practice and patience

Easy. Tape your lugs with blue painters tape and get a good fine tipped spring bar fork.

I broke down this year and got the bergeon tweezers for my sub. I know you can do it with the fine fork tool, but I'm not the most dexterous or patient yet and I've jabbed my hand more often than not on some stubborn bracelets before As far as scratches go, I usually throw some electric tape on the lugs and case back and have at it.

Super easy with Bergeon tool. And tape.

I have the Bergeon fork tool but pretty much don't trust myself near them and a Rolex. Maybe I'll just scotch tape the living hell out of the lugs and give it a try next time. Been thinking about getting an Everest.

I don't get the rubber strap fad, I get nato but the rubber looks cheesy

It's all about preferences, I dislike natos, but that ok.

The Everest leather band is really good, it's very easy to change bracelets/bands, get a spring bar tool Bergeon 6767 f off eBay, Approximately 12 GB£. There are cheaper, but they are rubbish, and you are more likely to scratch your watch. Use masking tape, take care, you'll soon get the hang of it. Loads of vids on YouTube to help.
