Novelty Rolex rubber wrist bracelets

Has anyone seen these novelty Rolex bracelets? It's a cool idea but then it doesn't really look all that cool when it's on the wrist.

I would think this is something a person who collects anything and everything Rolex would want

Myself cannot see anywhere that it states anything about being anything to do with Rolex otherwise it could be a copy-wright infringement they are just bits of rubber.

Going out on a limb but I think it's actually not bad looking....

Not a fan. But I’m not a big bracelet fan to begin with. A watch and a wedding band are all the jewelry a man needs in my opinion.

Just don't see the point of any bands, especially those ones.

$25 for a rubber bracelet just because it resembles a Rolex bezel and isn't authorized....I think not.

I expect that they will get a nasty letter from Rolex's attorney in the near future.

Clever idea but it seems designed to draw attention to the watch and for that I say "Pass".

These are about as appealing as Rolex underpants.

The safest place for your watch is on your wrist.
