Hey all,
I've been wanting to pick up a solid end link rubber strap option for my Black Bay Chrono. When I first started looking I think the only options were RubberB and Everest. Now I'm seeing Vanguard and Crafter Blue... The prices on these straps vary WILDLY from the $250+ $45 for a buckle RubberB to the $65 for a Crafter Blue. Is there an appreciable difference between these straps?
In the past I've had a rubber strap on an omega that was so stuff coming out of the lugs it literally held the watch off my wrist by a mm or 2, that's what I am trying to avoid.
Thanks in advance!

I think it depends on the wrist size and the shape of the flat area of it.
I had the same problem with Crafter Blue on Pelagos. It made the watch stand up off my wrist by a good gap

For as often as I actually need a flashlight. It does the job.

I once had a rubber strap on an omega that was so loose on the lugs that it actually held the watch off my wrist by one or two millimetres; this is what I'm trying to prevent

Straight into a two year old post without an intro in the main forum. Nice.

Maybe he thought we were sitting here desperately waiting for his reply about a rubber strap he once had.

Good luck!
Personally I’m not a fan - at all - of the solid endlink straps for the Pelagos… really, really bad imo.
