Rubber B Velcro
Hi all . I just want to see if anyone out there has any experience with the new rubber B Velcro strap ? I recently received one as a birthday gift . I had wanted a rubber B strap for my sub for a while and seeing the new high tech Velcro strap on their website I thought it might be a good option , so asked for one for my birthday, It was interesting and different concept .. but I have to say I am so disappointed in the product . It peels open so easily , when removing my jacket , taking off my jumper , the Velcro catches and simply peels open ...I nearly lost my watch off my wrist on day one , it was on my watch fir 2 days before I took it off completely.I then contacted Rubber b to see if they may allow me to exchange my strap for a tang buckle . Explaining it was a gift. Their reply was no as the strap had been worn . And I should try turning the strap around . They then attached pictures of Raphael nadal wearing the strap in some sort of wankey statement of the products quality ....

What ifs
The green subs (sorry I cant bring myself to use cartoon names) seem to be crazy popular. What if Rolex brought out some other colors for the SS Subs...Blue (sunburst), red, yellow.... Do you think these would take off? I understand Green is Roles's color if you will, but just thinking if I was a big shot at Rolex, I would be thinking maybe a blue next year and them maybe the yellow 2 or 3 years later... Any thoughts?
