Simonix 8,660 Posted May 16, 2020 I really like the black with red sides/backing strap that Rubber B make for the Rolex SD43. They also make a very good fitted strap for the DSSD. As you may know, these are not cheap! But I guess it's the price you pay for a proper curved end fitting strap, tailor made for these watches..... Well..... I managed to find some rep versions of these straps on Strapconcept, so thought I would give them a try. Ordered them from Hong Kong 4 days ago, and by paying extra for shipping, they arrived this morning in UK! Now that's fast! Anyway, the quality of these is fantastic! Really soft and supple rubber, but not sticky or smelly. Even the "Rubber B" branding is spot on! I am really chuffed! I got both these straps for around £100 (about half the price of just one of the genuine RubberB ones)! Here are some photos: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, no guarantee that the curved section will fit of course. I tried a cheapy curved end strap from Ebay, and the lug holes didn't line up properly, so it looked crap. But, I am sure through trial and error, there are other even cheaper options out there. These I thought were the best for looks and quality, except without the ridiculous RubberB price tag.

The ones @BadApple recommended would work for a sub.@Simonix You think the Strapconcept ones are worth the price difference for the quality? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simonix 8,660 Posted May 26, 2020 @OJHorology The strapconcept ones are fantastic! Very well finished. No moulding marks, the rubber b branding is well done, and the strap itself is soft and supple, but smooth and not “sticky” like some rubber strap can be. I am very impressed. They really aren’t very expensive either. DSSD was about £30. The SD43 was about £50-60. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
