GMT 16750 strap options....rubber? Pics.
Hi guys,
Soo I am soon to be the owner of a beautiful matte dial 16750. I will make a separate post with pics. I have been thinking about straps since I will be using this watch in and around water. I in addition to its original bracelet i have purchased an earlier oVal link jubilee which I know may not be period correct but I think I will like the look. But I was wondering about a rubber strap.....anyone have one? Do you like ? Any recommendations ? Thanks

Bonetto Cinturini, model 306. I got one for my DRSD and love it. The company makes a lot of different models/looks. High quality thick rubber straps from Italy, but not crazy expensive. And it's real vanilla-smelling rubber, not silicon. Then, of course, there are Rubber B and Everest bands. I just think they're too expensive for what they are. But maybe that's just me. Good luck in your search.

1ST congrats on the incoming
Here are a few examples, same piece I just like to swap out the inserts, 1st is the blue rubber B perfect for mid summer and any pool/water activites, the 2nd I just got yesterday from Hodinkee, must say so far the most comfortable strap I have, I had to check my wrist a few times this morning to make sure it's still there! |

I have to agree. Hodinkee has the nicest leather straps that I have owned. Very comfortable and the highest quality |
