Not for me and very overpriced for what they are, but whatever floats your boat IMHO Rolex watches look much better on original bracelet.

Goes nicely with all the white aspects of the watch.

Love it! Fellow Rubber B fan here. As you stated, makes it feel like a new watch. I've got mine on a deployant to make it for easier on/off.

My wife rocks a Submariner on an orange RubberB strap and it pops! I would never change a bracelet on any of my Rolex but it looks fun, sporty and youthful on her.

Looks good.
I put a RubberB on my Daytona for a bit. I thought it looked and felt good, but ended up going back to the bracelet. But, it's nice to have the option to switch things up every once in a while.

I’ve tried similar ones and they were a PIA. How do those work?

Looks great to me. I particularly like tbe Velcro straps from RubberB for some reason. I think if you like it, that's freaking awesome. I'll never understand the company men who think reversible modifications to a Rolex is akin to painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa.

Do you happen to have a picture of the watch on this strap? Orange is actually my favorite color amd I'm really curious how it looks.

This looks sharp. I used to have an Explorer II Polar and had it on an orange RubberB for a bit.

Worked good for removing. Little tricky putting back on. Definitely made the job easier and doable but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it frequently.
