Would a blue dial and black strap clash?

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the RG ROC 26331 blue dial with the blue strap. Only problem is I am not crazy about the blue strap it comes with. I was thinking about ordering a black AP strap for it. Do you think the black strap would clash with the blue dial?

On that same note, the deployant clasp wasn't all that comfortable when I tried it on. Has anyone done a conversion to a tang buckle set up on the ROC? I've tried the search function and did not come up with anything on the tang buckle.

I would appreciate your opinions.

Think it will be fine, I generally don't like blue straps with blue watches, I'd rather a black one with blue stitching or accents.

You can't go wrong! I think having both straps and being able to swap them is a good call.

You're going to be killing the game with this timepiece regardless.

I've been eyeing this piece for sometime. I have two 44's and now feel a need to diversify and flip one of them.

I m actually thinking about the same thing, blue in dial is nowhere near that saturated as on strap, dial look almost black so black strap is perfect option for more dressier look and being able to swap to blue is excellent choice when wearing jeans..

So i figured it out, now only one thing remains - to get some spare bucks fo RG ROC :D
