Introducing The Rubber B Rolex Deepsea Glidelock Watch Strap
Rubber B is an American company?which?has been known to manufacture?high-quality vulcanized rubber straps for?Rolex and Panerai brand watches. What separates them from the majority of other third-party suppliers is that their straps are designed to follow the shape of the case of the watch they were made for?with?extreme accuracy.?The brand's latest carbon-fiber-fused rubber?strap is for one of Rolex's heftier models: the Rolex Deepsea.You see, when it comes to the aftermarket for?straps, we certainly are spoiled for options. Most of these take the form of custom leather, or any variety of nylon one-piece straps, also known as NATO?straps. When picking up a rubber strap for your sport watch, (which, by the way, is a great option for summer activities), however, then things get a bit dicier.As unassuming as "rubber strap" may sound, there actually are a vast number of options that come in ever more diverse levels of quality.?Depending on where it comes from, it may actually be silicone

SS 41mm bracelet for my Pride of Italy
So this edition comes on a blue strap but I want to the classic RO bracelet for the fall.They go for 2500 plus tax at the AD and sometimes more when bought through a dealer.

Question about Aquanaut bezel ...
I'm sure that this will make a lot of you cringe, but I wanted to know if anyone has ever attempted to touch up the brushed surface on the bezel? I know that a Rolex is not a PP but a number of us use a red scotch brite pad to touch up our Submariner's bracelet and it works perfectly. I'm not going to experiment with my new Aquanaut unless someone else has done so and has some experience. Thanks, Jonathan

Diamond rolexes? Why so lukewarm?
Noobie here. Love the forum but please forgive my ignorance and lack of knowledge. It seems to me that people don't really love the diamond references as much as the ones without. Some diamond versions don't even seem to be selling for much more than the non diamond ones. Can you give me some insight to why this is? I mean rolexes are awesome and valuable. Diamonds are valuable. Put them together and it should be ultra valuable. But it just isn't so. Why?
