Any of you guys have experience with Rubber B - specifically the Rolex Glidelock strap? :shrug:

Is the Accent checkered by hand, like a custom 1911? That fucker is expensive.

It is damn expensive. After all the rubber straps I have had (isofrane, obris, benofrane etc) it is the nicest one I have had., both in comfort and style, as it can go with more than a dive watch.

Thanks for the pics. It looks nice but not sure about that checkering. Looks like it would collect dirt and debris. :think:

The vintage ones are super soft too, very comfortable
