Didn't know they made these. Nice alternative to the bracelet.

Just my opinion, O......stick to the OEM bracelet. Your first post of that newbie was perfect on steel. Also, I think rubber degrades the "Crown"whichone.gif

Jeff..I agree there is nothing like the bracelet.I was thinking of ordering one of these for my Sea Dweller for a change,but $220. is lot for a rubber.
...I did order a exhibition caseback for the vintage GMT II...

Those casebacks are wonderful!  I have a couple on my Rollies, including on the Daytona and GMT M II.
An alternative to these expensive rubber straps are the custom made end links which allow you to install a standard rubber or leather strap on your Rollie.  I have them on my Daytona at the moment, and love it.

Oscar I have not tried the strap mainly because I do not want to deal with removing the clasp every time from the bracelet. I am going to try an exhibition case back ThumbsUp02.gif

I agree that swapping out the clasp could be a hassle,unless you have a spare...the exhibition caseback is pretty cool,and the one I ordered is easily installed Trent...the Rolex movement is good looking imho,and my GMT will not see any depths...Graham,I would be interested in getting one of the endlinks you speak of,do you have a link Buddy?ThumbsUp02.gif
