Thinking of doing it

So I have this galactic 41 since 2013 and been wearing it mainly as my daily watch (even though I have Rolex/omega/Cartier). Lately been toying with the idea of getting it the diver pro rubber strap (in black/blue). What do you think? Should I do it? And if yes, should I invest the extra cash and get the special deployment clasp or just take the cheaper rubber close?

I bought the cheaper blue aero rubber strap with the tang buckle to mix things up with my Superocean. The total cost was $150 which is $300 less than the deployant clasp. I couldn't justify the extra money plus this strap is very flexible so the tang works perfect.

I prefer the bracelet set up, just my opinion, even a NATO on that piece looks better than the strange bubble texture of the rubber.

Absolutely adore this! Considering the same setup on rubber also - I think it looks fantastic. I’ve thought about getting the bracelet plus order the rubber separately but knowing me the bracelet would just sit in the box. Great choice!

You know, I used to hate rubber straps, thought they looked cheap. Then I bought my Aquanaut and have done a complete 180, can't get enough of them. Weird how that happened. Anyway, love the blue bracelet/band and think you should get it.
