Blue Pelagos - Black rubber strap

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has tried putting the blue pelagos on a black rubber strap (oem, isofrane, or other)?

If so, I'd love to see a picture or two as I am planning to purchase one shortly and am somewhat torn between the black and blue versions. I went to look at them "live" today at the local AD and the blue is actually quite nice "in the flesh" and not quite so bright as some of the pictures I see online.

Cheers,
Brad

Haven't seen one, but I would think that combo would look pretty sweet.

There's a little watch called the BLNR that uses those two colors pretty effectively, IMO.

See I like that, the blue oem strap is just too much blue for my tastes.

Thanks for posting! :)

Love that! Might want to get it for my black bay black.

Mind if I ask where you got it and how much?

Thanks

It came off of a Swiss Army Dive Master 500.

You can get the strap individually for $95 on the Victorinox website.

It's a very high quality strap...a lot nicer than the Tudor OEM. Longer and doesn't smell bad either....actually it has NO odor, so it's possible for rubber not to stink!
