Love the watch, but prefer an Oyster bracelet.

lamnyc · 20 May 2015, 11:38 AM

No way. It looks cheap.

Thanks guys. I still prefer the bracelet over others. But its a nice change as the weather is getting really warm here. In real life its not that bad really. I like the white on white. Maybe the pictures. Here is one further away. I have a black one incoming this week. Will post pic when i get it for comparison.

I think it's like the white ceramic APs that were released, at first I thought they were a little feminine, but I saw some wrist shots, and they really started to grow on me as something really casual. The white ceramic APs are not something that I would personally spend my money on, but I think could look great if accessorized properly. You know like a short-sleeve white button up, shorts, boat shoes, hanging off your boat, surrounded by bikini-clad models. In that situation a white on white watch works perfectly.

I'm no fan of white watch bands, but that RubberB looks amazing. The OP band however makes the Explorer look cheap IMHO.

strapsfreak · 22 May 2015, 03:54 AM

nay, that's not what i like

LumpHammer · 22 May 2015, 04:28 AM

If you look close enough you can see that poor dial weeping with shame and embarracement.

CabbageHead · 22 May 2015, 04:49 AM

Would I? Well, I'm not a polar guy so there is that answer.

HOWEVER, DO YOU!!! Rock that thing. You found the straps, put them on, took pics, were obviously excited about it, and then came here and let people

all over it.

Wear it and do your own thing.

VinnieVegas · 22 May 2015, 04:53 AM

BTW, love the aged tritium on the Markers on your Polar.

Enjoy the strap!

Lets get back to the topic. Here is one in black.

I think black on black looks better, like this.

Andad · 22 May 2015, 10:37 AM

Looks good and makes a change in either white or black but does look better on the white rubber B.

I think the Polar works on the black also, but again, I'm biased. I modded a Black Rubber strap from a Pelagos and some Everest Leather band Endlinks and it also came out pretty good as a black on Polar option.

And as for the vintage Tudor, that watch makes any strap look awesome, ;).
