Rolex Explorer 124270 on integrated rubber strap with micro adjust, a first of its kind?
Hey everyone!
I like many Rolex Explorer 124270 owners have been waiting, for years now, for Everest or Vanguard to release integrated rubber straps for our reference number with no luck.
I decided to roll the dice and purchased a blue and an orange strap from Vagenari.
Straps arrived on Friday with zero instructions in English so Trial and Error it was.
As I was installing I realized, hey, I have to cut this to size so the 12 o’clock piece just attaches to the clasp directly, it can’t utilize the EasyLink - that’s lame. (Everest and/or Vanguard will ask how many links at 12 and 6 o’clock and send you exactly what you need).
A shower thought hit me a day later…I have an X-Acto kit in my garage. I could drink just enough wine to calm my nerves and attempt to notch the rubber, after all I left plenty of extra in the clasp (see pictures below) to afford a f*ck up or two…of which there was one.
TL;DR You can buy a rubber strap from China and trim it to use your EasyLink.
Thanks for taking the plunge for us all! Looks great but I can‘t stop thinking they cheaped out a bit on this strap. Especially at the price. How‘s the quality and fit? And is the 6 o‘clock part too long? I like my clasp to sit closer to 6 rather than 12… Could you share an image from the side stating your wrist side?
Appreciate it! Happy easter ;)

I’ll follow up on these requests after the holiday.
Quick answers:
Quality is there, reminds me of the Vanguard I have for my BB58.
My wrist is about 6.5”. The 6 o’clock side is one link longer than I wear my oyster bracelet.
