During the strap transition
Finally decided to pull the trigger on a rubber strap for my BLNR. While I do love the Oyster bracelet, this fitted RubberB strap is really well executed and the color matching is great. I'm still coming to terms with a non-metal bracelet on my Rolex - I'm not a purist, just not quite used to it yet 
But figured why not new shoes for some summer fun!

Enjoy!The fitted lug ends have a plastic stabilizer insert, and are not just rubber like some cheaper straps. It's well curved to the wrist with the buckle and tang lightly brushed to match the finish of the lug tops. Length wise, it's spot on - I have an 8" wrist and wear it on the 3rd to last hole, and the double keepers (one with a stay) tuck the tail away nicely.
I think it looks great...
I have thought about buying a Rubber B for my sub. Did you make the change yourself?
Yes...
I have my own tools, not too difficult with the right spring bar tool. The slot on Rolex end links is rather narrow, requiring a thin fork.
Rubber B vs Everest
Very nice shot! Wha do you think of Rubber B vs Everest? I have several from the latter and I love them, but I’m curious about what else is out there.
Can't go wrong with either
Honestly think it comes down to personal preference. I researched both before purchasing. Both are very well made and roughly the same price. RubberB, to me, is a bit more aesthetically pleasing, as the raised center section eventually evens out whereas on the E, it stays raised through the end of the strap. The R has 7 holes vs the E's 9 to accommodate the additional ~10mm in length, which I did not need. Also, I like the look of the R's Tang with the slight "tongue" better - just a bit of extra flair.
Again, I don't think you can go wrong with either!

I have to disagree
Rubber B is superior in quality not just esthetics. Rubber B makes their bands in the same factory as Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille, Omega and now they produce the OEM bands for Roger Dubuis, honestly there is nothing out there that can match the quality. BTW that blue looks very nice against the bezel.

This is the most insightful comparison I have come across between Rubber B and Everest.
Nice combo. I was wondering if it was possible a piece of the strap in blue, and the other piece of the strap in black, to match with the bezel. A bit like I did here...
Love your GMT & strap combo!
Yes, this is possible, but I believe you need to purchase two straps, as they do not seem to sell mixed colors.

Bad promotion
Sir, with all due respect your post is very distasteful and desperate to say the least. Going into someone's post about their choice on their watch makes you sound like a joke. How are your materials superior can you go into details? Nasa and F1 have nothing to do with horology. You are speaking of a company (Rubber B) that created the very first fitted rubber strap for Rolex, now they do AP, Panerai, Roger Dubuis etc. I recommend to you reading up some history before making the kind of idiotic statements that you are making. They manufacture in Switzerland along side the top oem brands in Swiss horology. You are saying that your product is superior to those brands also? You should let your customers, sales and time do the talking. I do not own or know much about Everest I cannot speak of them but I can assure you that your product as nice as you might think it is does not share the quality of RB.
