I got the black and red Crafter Blue for my Black Bay and I'm very happy with it. I also bought a Zealande FKM for my Seamaster which is more on par with the Everest and Rubber B very soft and pliable. Strapsco is also selling FKM straps at a very good price and they seem to be getting good reviews as well
That is great to hear. I didn't try the FKM straps before, I will be sure to add one to my shopping cart :D Will try to make a bigger comparison in different price segments. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Dean, for your continous support :D Me as well buddy, the curved strap looks 100% better than the standard ones, but they will fit on only one model(s)
Nice detailed review. You are right that Rubber B is much higher quality for those who can spend. The Crafter Blue copies are more like a seiko band feeling (plastic and silicone blend like the seal of a car door window). FYI: The RB for Tudor has a very cool textured surface that my clients like because it goes with the Tudor rugged style. Like you said, some people do not care about the many details but guys like you and I definitely do. Stay safe brother.
Thank you Richard for watching and commenting, greatly appreciated brother. Yes, exactly if you want quality and comfort then definitely Rubber B, but if you want the look and a bit of lower quality (compared to Rubber B) then definitely the Crafter Blue would be the choice. I didn't know that about the RB for Tudor, and it definitely goes well with the rugged shape and look of the BB.
Yeah, it's always deceiving on video, and sometimes one buys a watch cause of the wrist wearing looks the same but when it comes its a surprise 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting Ryan.
Sorry need to ask because this is the only videos using explorer II. Is it "fit"? Or like other brands it leave a gap because explorer Ii have fixed bezel and All those straps are designed to "fit all" which other have rotating bezel. I tried everest and it leave gap because of this. Thx for your response
The crafter Blue fitted very well on the Tudor, no gaps at all. Also the Rubber B fitted perfectly on the Explorer, definitely the better quality as well. I hope that helps.
@@AbdulRWatches I ordered and try crafter blue. Then I return it. It is just the same, gap in there, maybe just a millimeters but still it's there. I can stick a paper between the gap 🤣. Wish I could show the picture. You sure rubber b don't have a gap? Is there really any straps exclusively designed for a fixed bezel like explorer II? Anyone?
@@febrianui1184 With the Rubber B there is almost no visible gap, definitely higher quality and finish than the crafter Blue. Yes, i wish there was an option with image commenting 😁
Hallo Mario, Der Crafter Blue gewinnt wenn man Kosten, nutzen, und Qualität schaut. Danke Danke 😁👍 Die Tudor an der Crafter Blue passt perfekt denke ich auch 😁 LG Abdul
Hi Abdul, I used to follow you over on Snupps and saw some of your earliest videos. Looks like the channel is growing well! Still miss the Snupps community and it’s positive ethos. I’m researching a rubber strap for my ceramic sub. I’m not sure if I like the way the integrated straps visually extend the lugs of the watch. I’d prefer the strap to hang straight down, so was thinking of trying a strap with straight ends first. Best wishes, Craig (6CWT) 🤿
Thanks Craig so much for your support, yes Snupps community was great, definitely miss it as well. The rubber B style is my favorite as it hugs the wrist, there is also one from Chronocenter that is of good material and looks great as welll. Have a great one buddy :D
