Anyone have a green Sumo?

I'm going to have to say no and of course it's just my opinion. In the end, as you know, you can do whatever you like as long as it pleases you. I think that's a cool looking strap but for a black faced dial.

The beauty of this watch is the green. It's what immediately drew me to it along with the new aesthetics and movement upgrade. It's an awesome emerald green that twinkles and refracts in the sun. The bezel too in the sun takes on a great green color. In the shade and other lighting, the green shifts like a chameleon to varying shades and darkness to sometimes black looking.

Adding a green strap in my opinion will drown out that focal point. The stainless bracelet it comes with is heavy duty and looks the business. It makes the green pop. For me, it was kind of heavy, so I opted to swap with a Crafter Blue black that fits like a glove. The black, like the stainless, makes the green pop and gives it a mean look that I like if you get what I'm saying.

Also, I feel divers should be on stainless and rubber and nothing else. It kind of looks wonky to me on others. I tried leather and didn't like it. But again, just my opinion.
