Planet Ocean 2201.50 black dial & blue rubber?

My 2201.50 is almost 10 years old, and since my daughter was born 5 years ago my collection has remained stagnant.

My shore/beach attire has moved to more navy blues.

I would not want to trade any of my watches, but I was contemplating switching out the OEM black rubber strap for a OEM blue one.

Has anyone ever since this or done it? How does it look? Any pictures?

I am not sure how the black dial would accent the blue rubber.

Any insight or opinions are appreciated.

Thanks

Not sure about rubber, but I wear mine with a blue/grey bond style NATO all the time. I think Blue gores well with the PO.

Beautiful combo, thanks for the input.

I failed to mention that I spent a lot of the at the beach/shore emeresed in the water, scuba, free diving, surfing etc, so rubber is the most ideal of materials.

I love nato straps but don't like soggy ones.

In my opinion, the best looking Planet Ocean there ever was. Sadly, the design went south after this....
