I'd also like to know how it felt on the wrist, if OP still remembers...

Comfort was not an issue, rubberB are quite stiff when new but after about a month of wear they become very comfortable

I've been thinking about that same band on my batman. Put up the oyster for a while because its an everyday watch. Bottom line is, do it if you like it..that's why Baskin Robbins has 31 flavors..cheers

Please put back the watches on their bracelets. These straps are "ok" at best.

What better than a rubber strap on a Submariner. PM or Not. The look is so good that even Rolex got in to it with the YM on Oysterflex after seeing so many rubber b's on Rolexes. It looks very good although not as dressy as with the gold bracelet.

Fear not. There are some sensible YG Sub owners here still. No rubber crap on mine.

+1 on this it's pretty funny when you hear people put down a style or preference that probably never had experience with... I have a rubber b on my SS YM & it's pretty awesome. I would say way better than the oysterflex. Looks awesome OP!

I guess to change it up it's not bad but this one belongs on the bracelet - perhaps an Oyster Flex might look better?

this reference is the nicest all GOLD Rolex watch, gotta leave it one that gorgeous solid 18kt bracelet!
plus, strap changes are risky
