Hello All, wished to ask for feedback on best rubber strap options for Sub date, looking online seems Rubber B and Everest get good feedback, are there any others to consider also? Thank you for help :-) Cheers, Martyn.

Haven't seen a Rubber B in real life but had an Everest on my SubC no date ceramic and hated it. Tried it on my GMT which was a bit better but still not good enough to warrant keeping. If it makes a difference I didn't go for the deployant version using my own clasp.
Was it the look and/or feel on the wrist you hated or did the quality itself seem poor?Quote:

Rubber B is the only option if you want a zero gap fit.
Doesn’t Everest offer that as well?Quote:

Cousin's are so close to Rubber Bs that the cost for a Rubber B is very hard to justify in comparison.Quote:

Only the Rubber B is bang on for fit, there is zero gap.
Only issue with the runner b is the fit is slightly off for me with the less holes.
I do like ISOfrane. Horribly overpriced too, but there's no really good, cheaper alternative that I've found like there is for Rubber B. And I'm not sure anyone makes an Everest-alike strap. All the other fitted types I've seen have gone with the Rubber B design.Quote:

I bought the cousins one which didn’t fit at all.
I have an Everest for my Tudor Black Bay which fits perfectly around the lugs and is extremely comfortable.
