Nice change up - the blue strap matches the blue bezel well!

The SwimSkin bands are really nice. I have some other Rubber B's but this one works really nicely with the BLNR.

As an added bonus from a security standpoint it's much safer as no one would bother stealing it!

My wrist is about 6.5" and I ordered the Small size..but that left no room for adjustment and it was touch tighter than I like. It's going back for a Medium.

Thank you!

The blue in the strap is only more noticeable with light on it. A part of the attraction for me is to make the watch less immediately noticeable which this does nicely.

Thanks Brian! Looking forward to wearing it.

The wait for the Medium should be slightly less than for the GMT!

Here's pictures from Rubber B's site..I think you can return it if you don't like it.

Thank you!

All about options! Plus the Rolex bracelets are the first things to draw attention. Usually not an issue for me but often it is.

As I posted in the start of the thread, I've owned Rolexes for about 25 years and never thought of a strap change till about last year. It's added another level of enjoyment and with a lot of watches, it's really nice to change it up!

Yet people post Rolex = Bracelet as if I never thought of it

I agree! Love the bracelets!

Thanks I had looked at their site, I had not seen one on a persons watch before this. I am still pondering whether I want to do this

Yea, something about these wider lugs with the 6 digits, just can’t pull off the straps like the 5 digits.

Yup, it's a small going back for Medium.

I think it looks pretty good. How about some more pictures maybe from farther away or have someone else take them of your arm? I am looking for a strap option.

I'll take more when I get the Medium and install it..You're right, it's good to see at distances too.

I'm noticing TRF has turned into such a hostile place in the last 2 years that I haven't been on..what's going on here?

Back on topic, OP I also enjoyed switching straps and bracelets when I owned the BLNR. I thought I would never put the bracelet back on after getting my blue Everest band but I couldn't wait to go back in just a couple of days. BLNR and PCL is just a match made in heaven and nothing could top that, IMO. But if you enjoy a certain strap that's all that matters, after all, the bully on an Internet forum isn't going to be the one wearing it. Enjoy!

You're right! Hey OP, it's just not my thing..I prefer the Oyster band and am getting a Jubilee as well for mine! No offense meant!

“Haters” for having a difference of opinion. Something’s never change.


The strap doesn’t do this reference justice imo, but wear what you dig. I’ll stop being a “hater” now.

Looks great - but perhaps time to switch back to metal now that Winter is coming?
