Extremely comfortable - quite surprised as I've had rubber straps on other watches before, and they've become irritating after a few hours. Not so with this, haven't taken it off at all since Friday. b-)

Nice not having the gap between the strap & the watch, doesn't look like 'mising teeth' any more...

Initial attachment of the band to the watch was a bit fiddly without the proper tools (you have to use the original Rolex /Mk II /whatever clasp), wouldn't like to have to do that regularly, but with the help of a YouTube Video was up & running in around 1/2 hour.

Think I might get a spare generic clasp off eBay so I don't scuff up the Mk II clasp.

Oops, forgot to mention! - This is the Rubber B specifically for the Rolex 14060 by the way. Acting on advice I chose "Submariner, Classic Series, Non-Date" (i.e. not 'Ceramic'), & then selected the 14060.

It's different from all the others, & I'm not sure the others would fit a Kingston/Nassau/KeyWest case without modifying &/or using it upside down (so opening & closing clasp could be akward).

Edit - using the Mk II clasp :

^Beautiful Kingston. One is all you need...

Yes, agreed Fullers1845 - but I have a confession to make:
I have another Kingston, though it's not a MK II....

Rather well-worn and somewhat older than the MK II, ...& many forum members I'd think.

Took my new-to-me LRRP GMT across on the ferry to Michael Young in Kowloon today for a full service. Should be ready in a fortnight.
Snapped a few pics of Kingston # 025 on the way :

I'm guessing this is the same Michael Young that is world famous for restoring the old stretched out Rolex bracelets? If so, his work is magic!

Yup, one and the same. Did a really good job on my well-worn 10-year old Sub last year.
It's been running at average of +/- zero seconds/day ever since. b-)

I'm confident the LRRP GMT is in very good hands.

Now that sounds to me like a half-way decent excuse for couple more of pics of it....

Put my 3-6-9 Nassau on an orange NATO today. Bold color, not sure how I feel about it.

Coincidence, also trying out straps with orange...

Good colour to have to find if it comes off while diving, but switched back to one a tad more subtle for now...
