    Rubber B for Tubor Black Bay Blue

    Having recently purchased a Rubber B for my BBB, I thought fellow owners may appreciate a few pics.

    Really like the strap and the look. I brought the watch on the leather, and the addition of the rubber "sports" it up IMO.

    Are they worth the price? Is anything to do with watches worth the price? IMO the strap is not over the top in comparison to the cost of the watch. I will say the fit is perfect to the case, and the quality seems very high.

    As an aside, the watch has recently returned from the Rolex service centre, as it had to be returned for regulation due to it running around 20 seconds fast per day. It was returned and set to an atomic clock app at 7pm last Friday, and now 4 hours short of being on the wrist for 1 week, is running slow by 2 seconds! That beats my Spring Drive - pretty impressive for an ETA 2824 IMO.

    Looks great.
    I have one on my Black Bay black and love it.

    Changes the way it looks dramatically in my opinion, not keen when its on leather at all.
    Had a Pelagos and i thought that looked killer on its rubber.

    Yes they do - from memory the colours are blue, red, white and black.

    I guess you can use this for BB red/burgundy

    I only have Tudor bracelets (and NATOs) - I've never had a leather strap of theirs - I assume I would need to buy the deployant separately or does the Rubber B come with deployant - looks sick btw

    You have to get deployant separately.

    You can find aftermarket for cheaper.

    I'm thinking of getting one, but USD 250 just feels like so much to pay for a rubber strap... I struggled with the cost of a Crafter Blue for my Blumo relative to the cost of the watch, but don't regret that in the slightest.

    Relative to the cost of watch as a %age the Rubber B is cheaper, so will probably go ahead at some point (just won't mention it to the wife!). I emailed Everest over the weekend, who make similar straps to Rubber B for various Rolex models. Apparently they will shortly have a strap available for the Black Bay and are slightly cheaper than Rubber B.

    Of all the things in watch world, good straps are probably the most over-priced. You can buy two tyres for your car for 250 lol

    If you want a rubber strap then Rubber B is the way to go.

    Me too. I was going to get one for my BB Red as well, but not at that price!

    Love the Rubber B on your strap. RB imo is the best rubber strap there is because of the dedicated quality and effort put into it. Worth every penny.
