Rubber B straps
Anyone have one? Considering one for a GMT ceramic. Are they any good ?

I have owned several. The fit and feel are excellent and are the best aftermarket straps you can get for the GMT. I can also recommend a strap made by Vagenari which is comparable to rubber B but cheaper and with more color options.
Good luck |

They’re as good as they get. For a GMT the green striped M103CD that uses the original clasp is the obvious choice. If you prefer not to use the clasp then opt for the M106CD with tang buckle.

I have an Everest on my Sub. I like it. No wear issues after 4 years.

This will be the third summer I’ve had mine for my 16570, I enjoy it. Considering the watch runs about $10k, why not a couple hundred? It’s a nice seamless look.
Some have been critical here, might want to read up on their concerns before you buy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They didn't work for me. The strap holes are way too far apart, can't find an optimal fit.

I have both Rubber B and Everest. My wrist is just over 7.50“ and the Rubber B is a little too short with the tang buckle. The Everest is a little softer and longer which ends up being more comfortable for me. Appearance wise, they both look good but I prefer the look of Rubber B a little more.

Here is mine on RubberB. The fit and finish is great. I will occasionally switch to RubberB when I am going on vacation.

I really liked mine until switched back to the bracelet and lost the Rubber B.

I just can't justify the price, but I guess compared to the price of our watches, having a reputable watch band company gives us piece of mind

I put a white one on my LV from time to time. I love it during the summer weather.

Yes. I have a couple of them and Everest Bands too. You can’t go wrong with either one of them.

The orange is quite the player. I’m still in that no-mans land stage where I can’t bear the thought of swapping out the Jubilee just yet in favour of a rubber. The time will come.

I had two Rubber B straps on my RG Daytona and I could not fault the quality of both straps, which was exceptional. So I am afraid I have to call BS on your "Everest is a much better band" comment Whilst Everest may be preferred by some on here, Rubber B is, by a small margin, the higher quality product. (I should add that I had nothing but exceptional service from Rubber B also)

Here are some facts since I've been on some posts where there seems to be a pattern by this forum member to defame a well respected company in the watch industry.
Rubber B - Rolex, Patek Phillipe, Audemars Piguet, Panerai, Tudor, Roger Dubuis OEM straps, different technologies and textures of vulcanized rubber. Everest- Rolex, Tudor, same exact design in rubber, very good quality leather straps There is no comparison. Rubber B is in a completely different level. |

Probably a dumb question, but why do some straps have the Rolex clasp and others have a normal watch band mechanism?
