I only like the Sub on it's oyster bracelet, but to each his own. If you enjoy it on that strap that should be all that counts.

Those straps are an interesting variation, but I far prefer the Oyster bracelet on the Sub. It's such a huge part of it's visual appeal and history, and it just doesn't look right without it.

I quite like a strap and am considering a quality Rubber diver for my 5513, but I am really not sure about the Orange nylon....

Straps on Rolex are nothing new. Mil. Subs can only use straps due to the welded springbars.

They do represent an alternative,
