DSSD JC Rubber B

Just ordered the Rubber B tang for my DSSD. Was curious if anyone has one on theirs and how they like it. Opinions please?

The flared lugs on the rubber B strap for the DSSD are awesome IMO. It's probably my favorite design for a rubber strap on a Rolex. That one you pictured however is not the right strap or watch.

Think the watch looks even better on that strap. As already been said, the flared lugs make that strap.
Not very often that a Rolex can be made to look better by a third party but this looks like it should have been designed with that strap on it straight out of the factory.

Either on tang or deployment, to me it's the flared lugs that really set this strap aside from any other rubber strap on the market. I'd probably go for the deployment clasp though, as it's just awesome to have a glidelock on steel or rubber.

It perhaps could only work with a watch of this stature. It's definitely a well thought out design and it's one of my favorite "looks" for a rubber strap. I only had my DSSD for a short time, but if i kept it I would definitely be rockin one of these.

I'm looking forward to the pics!

I appreciate the feedback man, I did consider getting the clasp band as I love the Glidelock. Especially during this time of the year when my wrist swells.

no prob! you know, there are pros and cons to both. Once you get used to swapping strap for bracelet, it can be a few minute change. Having to add/remove the glidelock clasp everytime will obviously take some more time.

It will be nice to have two entirely different setups that are complete and ready to use on the fly.

If you were going to make your DSSD dedicated 24/7 most of the year on Rubber I'd prefer claps. But if you intended on switching back and forth, full tang is a great way to go.

Flared design is brilliant. Wish they had this option for SubC
