A grey nato looks good. I also think a custom leather strap with some orange stitching for contrast would look amazing.

I keep the original bracelet on my polar 216750, but I do mostly wear a black RubberB on my 116710LN GMTII unless I need to "dress it up a bit".

It’s an Oris strap so should be available anywhere their watches are. I will warn that’s it’s wildly overpriced, but working in the plastic industry I really like the fact that is recycled plastic. And the colours are cool

Reviving this thread to see if there are other options\examples of straps and bands for the 216570. Still waiting to see what Everest has to offer.

Love this and uses the Rolex oem clasp. The black with orange stripe is very nice too.

Googled Everest bands to take a look at how the clasp integrates with the rubber strap and saw that Everest started out on Kickstarter in 2012. I never knew that https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-the-everest-b |

I have a 42 Polar on bracelet. Thinking of finally trying a RubberB. I see most with the orange stripe to match the orange hand but thinking I'd like white stripe better to match the dial. Still thinking..

Bought my explorer a couple years ago and immediately put it on a Rubber B. I am back to the oyster bracelet, think it looks much better with original bracelet. Rubber B is not a bad choice though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think the watch looks great with the bracelet but I also think it looks great with other straps and bands. I've got rubber, leather and nylon already.
Its a fun watch, have fun with it! |

But the 21mm size really limits the options that I have with my 116610 at 20mm.

This is 10
Since 21mm is an odd ball size we should start a list of sellers who have it and make it a sticky. |

And I've gone to the websites of some of the other recommended companies and a lot of them don't stock 21mm which is why I suggested a sticky post with a list.

I don’t have a six digit, but a five digit polar. The slight red in the hr hand makes a red strap pop. I’m sure a six digit would do the same with black, orange or a comparable color.

I have a 16570 polar and in my opinion it’s one of the most versatile rolexes...works on oyster, jubilee, leather, rubber, and natos. I like it on two piece nato straps...even better with end links

I just threw a sold black Rubber B with tang buckle on my polar 16570. It's a nice change, but I did it b/c I found some nice Rubber B (Black with orange stripe and a black one with white stripe) straps on Ebay and I love what it did for my black 216570. I've been wearing the 216570 2 + years straight and just felt like a bracelet change. But now I want a polar 216570 also.

Coffeebreak, that Straposphere with endlinks combination is outstanding! While the Oyster bracelet obviously integrates perfectly with the watch head, that oak strap acts like a frame around a painting and sets it off beautifully. Well done!
The black Hirsh does the same thing, but in a more formal manner. Another nice choice! |

A plain black rubber B wouldn't be a bad idea.
