Bought this for my BLNR...

Anybody have any experience with this strap? I had a blue Everest but it didn't do the trick. I saw this one yesterday in a pic and ordered it today.

I had the the white accent version on my Explorer but overall preferred the tang version which they didn't make in the style I wanted.

Looked good in my opinion

I have the Rubber B with blue stripe on my DSSD. It's comfortable and wider than the bracelet. I chose the tang version. Very pleased with it.

Looks interesting but no experience here. I prefer the bracelet

If I were going to change things up, I'd source a super jubilee

If it is a Rubber B, yeah, I've put one on my Sea Dweller for a bit. Real pain in the ass to get on, but was pretty comfortable. It soon went back onto the bracelet, but that is par for the course with me as the bracelet is usually my preference.

I have both, RubberB and Everest. I just bought a white tang buckle strap for my 16570 EXP II Polar. Haven't received it though.







Everest's alligator with SEL



My new purchase. Collecting it on April 4. Asked a friend to buy it on my behalf.

Why did you switch from Everest? You said it wasn't doing the trick, what does that mean?

I don't get the rubber strap thing, NATO on the older subs I get, it's just me.

I like it a lot. If I buy a BLNR tomorrow, I may have to get one of these.

I think it looks great. I have never felt that the BLNR was ever uncomfortable on a bracelet. With a Rubber strap, It should be almost unnoticeable..

I didn't like the color, it was a navy/dark cobalt. Too boring for me

I had Everest on for one week and went back to bracelet.

Something about Rolex is just so pure on the bracelet. I won't be changing back again.

Great pick up Rick. I have the same.....works great with BLNR and my 16710 Pepsi too. The black strap with just that little subtle blue line on the BLNR is a perfect combo IMO. Super comfy as well. :thumbs:
