As the leading producer of custom rubber watch straps, Rubber B is passionate about using our platform to help educate people from all corners of the globe about the importance of the world of horology. By doing so, we sincerely hope that this will make the world of watchmaking a more transparent and equitable place and that those who are sincerely interested in learning more about the topic can do so in a way that is easy to comprehend and approachable.
Oftentimes, this part of our mission statement is most visible in our blog posts, as they are a great way to reach a global audience and are very easy to access. These blog posts will often cover a wide variety of subjects, including important current events that may be happening in the world of horology, historical events that were significant in watchmaking (and likely changed the industry), and more technical pieces that focus on the mechanics of how watches are made, or how they work.
While this particular piece is a technical one in nature, it actually does not have anything to do with the watches themselves. We wanted to spend some time focusing on explaining to people how they could change their Glidelock rubber watch straps with relative ease. However, before we do that, we wanted to explain a little bit about how these straps are made, and then focus more on how to actually change the Glidelock rubber watch strap. This way, you not only know how to change the strap but why it has been designed in such a fashion in the first place. This will help ensure that there is a perfect fit for your watch each and every time.
How Does Rubber B Go About Crafting Their Rubber Watch Straps?
While we are not going to spend a large amount of time on this particular topic, we wanted to take a moment to explain a little about our design process, since it is pertinent to the topic at hand.
It is important to note that while we proudly create custom rubber watch straps for a wide variety of luxury timepiece brands, we are not affiliated with those brands in any way. Thus, we spend a painstaking amount of time measuring each timepiece that we construct our rubber watch bands for to ensure a perfect fit for your watch.
After those measurements are taken, each strap is put through a series of rigorous tests to ensure its durability. This process is a long one, but it allows us to maintain control over the quality of the custom rubber watch straps we sell to our clients, and this will always be of the utmost importance to us.
How Can You Change the Glidelock Strap on Your Watch?
Thankfully, one of the other things Rubber B has taken into account while designing our rubber watch straps is that we want them to be as user-friendly as possible. That means that if you need to change them, we wanted to ensure that this would be a quick and simple process to implement.
To begin with, you will need to take inventory of how many links your watch has. In most instances, you should have six links on each side of the bracelet, as that is the standard count for a medium-sized watch. It is important to note that if you have a half link in your bracelet, you should only count it if you have extra space in your clasp. If not, it should not count towards the total link count.
It should also be noted that if you do not wear a medium-sized watch, this count could be different. Consult your watch’s manufacturer, or look online, to determine how many links your watch is supposed to have, as you will need this information later for use with the size guide.
If for any reason, you are missing one of these links, then you need to replace them immediately. Failure to do so means that your watch will not fit securely on your wrist, and it is highly likely to fall off.
After ensuring that you have all of the necessary links, you can visit the Rubber B website, where we have size guides for every strap that we sell. You can then use that size guide to make sure that you are purchasing the correct sized custom rubber watch strap for your watch, and that it will be a perfect fit for your watch – every time.
What If I Have Questions About Purchasing the Right Sized Strap or Purchased the Wrong Size?
We know that people frequently have questions, and because they are also human, they make mistakes from time to time. Thus, it is entirely possible that you need some additional information or managed to accidentally purchase the wrong sized strap.
In the event that this happened to you, you do not need to worry at all. You can simply reach out to us through the contact information on our website, and one of our customer service team members will be happy to help you on the same business day. We are always here to help, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions.
