Anyone Sporting a Brightly Colored Rubber Strap?

Thinking about throwing an orange rubber strap on my navy (new style) just to mix it up a little. Pictures and opinions (good or bad) are welcome.

I'm not a big fan but if you like it.... I'm a gator guy myself. Unfortunately i don't like hornbacks.


Thanks,

would look OK imo, but a picture has been going around of that same watch on a navy hornback with orange stitching - not sure if you have seen it but it matches perfectly and imo is what should have come with the watch

Most definitely. I'm sure their orange matches the chrono hand and sub dials.

I tossed around the idea of camo. Wouldn't do it with the AP, but I have a nato on my Apple Watch. Also thinking about getting a heavy duty codura camo for either my PAM or top gun.

I used to put an orange strap on my Planet Ocean, was so much fun! Great for a change up.

Here ya go! Looks good, but not as good as i'd hoped for. the orange accents on the dial are just a little too subtle for it to match perfectly. But it certainly matches well enough for a really fun and fresh secondary look!

I don't know if they make the orange rubber in the more tapered ROO Chrono strap, but I bet that would look better.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the wider diver strap, but it's a lot of orange real estate to be paired with a dial that doesn't match perfectly.

Came out better than I imagined... Much better than the CE Diver on orange. Could def be a fun switch up for here n there or beach/poolside.

Was thinking exactly the same thing, but I am happy to see it in real as I was thinking of ordering an orange one as well, but won't, it is nice to have some contrast but that is too much, I ordered the grey strap for my ce diver think grey and black should be nice, some here said it won't and that the orange would be better but really don't agree, anyways we will see how it turns out on the grey rubber

I think the navy would look better on a white rubber, the 44 pt looks very cool on it and it has the same colors, for me much nicer than orange
