    Looks great. I have had a Black Sub since 2003 and swapped out the band for a Rubber B in black for several years. I currently just swapped that out for a Rubber B in White, and have received positive feedback. The Rubber B bands fit Rolex watches like they are an OEM part. Thanks for the content.

    Hi Eric, as soon as I got my 124060 I acquired a Rubber B to replace the Oyster bracelet. The Rubber B, as you mentioned, is almost as well built as the Oysterflex but with a much better and tight fit at the lugs. The black rubber band with a black bezel and a black dial is simply a stunning combination 😎

  • @realalexmackenzie

    I've bought more than a few rubber straps from Zealande the past while. Outstanding design. A natural curve in the rubber at the lugs. Closer spacing for the pin on the buckle to get just the right fit. Soft and very comfortable. I'm not a fan of the Rolex clasps, or any type of deployant. I find a thick mass on the underside of the wrist is fine for walking around town, but sit down at the computer and no thanks.

    While I love the look of the Oyster bracelet and have owned several pieces with it I hate the wide open links, I cannot just wear the pieces with complete disregard because I worry of big scratches, and if I can't completely enjoy the piece without worrying about it that kills it for me. I'm not gonna trade my latest piece (16570 Polar) just because of the Oyster, but I have contemplated finding a Jubilee bracelet or a rubber strap for it, the smaller links of the Jubilee hide the scratches much better and the rubber (I hate nylon straps) is obviously scratch proof. Good Hack Eric!! I can absolutely say you could wear that Sub the way it was intended to be worn without babyin it, and it's probably much comfortable too, because the Oyster, while it looks great, is not the most pliable and comfortable bracelet, it's rather stiff on it's sideways motion. I may even follow this hack and find me an oysterflex for my Polar!!

    Rolex probably needs to refine the titanium case of the yachtmaster before moving the oyster flex to the sub… it would make it much more difficult to differentiate the yacht master if the rubber was also on the sub. Also my bet is that Rolex is working on a better version of the rubber strap if it’s going to replace the legendary oyster bracelet

However, I would like to have a second option that I can change the look and feel of my watch. In a perfect world, It would be great if Rolex included a bracelet and a rubber strap in the box even if they charged $500 more.
