Yay or nay?

I found this NOS tropic rubber straps in white which i think matches the polar so well. I believe these were available as an option from AD in the 70's. They r not made by rolex but a swiss company nonetheless. Most of us hate those gaps between lugs, but these with curved ends took care of the issue.

not bad, looks great for summer coming up. I think I would prefer in black as well, but white looks casual and fun.

The white is a cool summer look, IMO, though I would prefer a smooth strap over this busy pattern.

Very feminine, if that's the look you're going for, looks good.
