I do like a black Everest on my Sub, it makes it stand out a little as I’ve two ‘drinking mates’ with subs as well. I do however find the buckle digs into my wrist so I do swap back every so often.
I know some people recoil at the thought and some like me love it. I had never considered a Rolex sports on a rubber strap until a wrist injury meant the bracelets were uncomfortable for a while. I tried the deepsea on a rubber B and I was hooked. In fact I'd go so far as to say I'm an addict, with a photo to prove it.
I still like the rolex bracelets a lot and think they are some of the best out there, but I must say I'm enjoying a splash of colour, plus when kayaking and other active pursuits it gives me a more relaxed view on wearing a watch I may scratch up.
Any other Rolex rubber fans?

The Crafter Blue rubber strap is also highly recommended.

''Rubber fans''.....for a moment I thought I'd got the wrong forum (or the right one....).
I like it. I've ordered a rubber b for my Daytona.
Always used to think of rubber as being a bit cheap! Always had leather or croc when feeling flush. Then I got Bell @ Ross BR02 on rubber and found it extremely comfortable and was won over. Now have rubber on the majority of my collection.
Rubber straps are brilliant. They make a sports watch look truly sporty, brilliant in the heat when sweaty, comfortable and for those who don’t like marking bracelets too much they are ideal for more vigorous use with a watch.
That Explorer II on the Cousins rubber looks way better than I thought it would. Those Rubber B's with the dash of colour are lovely though.
This week I have been trying my Explorer II with a rubber from Jean Rousseau, that utilises end links from an Everest leather strap.
Hirsch. Not as good perhaps as some of the expensive brands but works for me.20180109_185043.jpg

I like all those Rolex on rubber, suits them so well.
That explore looks great, and I particularly like the seadweller on the black isofrane, very handsome.
So when does a nice rubber strap become available for the SD43?
The Cousins Sub straps also carry across to the SMP rather well. Slap on an OE buckle.... a rather excellent result IMO:
Love rubber on dive watches :-)
Please can someone please post a link to cousins for their rubber strap. I can’t seem to find it via google.

I think the DSSD on the Rubber B looks fantastic - but my goodness, they are expensive straps...

Thanks, a German seller has 19mm ones and Squinky has 20mm but a good bit more expensive.
[QUOTE=bobc;4744668]Squinky's prices are always crazy
Here's one in France for less than £60 - that's a reasonable price.

I have had several types of rubber straps fitted on my various watches and apart from the original rubber strap fitted to the Seiko divers, which I found to be hard and uncomfortable to wear. I have been very impressed with the.
I just wish now that I had not sold my Everest and instead kept it to fit on my Explorer!
The Cousins link above does not seem to be working? 404 error.
I just tried it... its coming up ok..

Thanks again. I contacted the seller about the length of the strap. 63 mm and 104 mm so too short for my wrist unfortunately. These do seem to be on the short side from previous searches so maybe not a viable option for me.
I did a write on shaping rubber straps if anyone needs to do so
