Agree. I prefer most Rolexes on the bracelet (do love a Sub/nato combination through), but the polar really takes to straps well.

Interesting. Not sure how I feel about this one.

I love my 16570 and I love Jubilees so I’m open, do you have any other shots?

Hi some additional shots. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the jubilee on explorer. Try it out.

Rubber B is the highest quality you can get. Expensive? yes but you can put a cheap silicone strap, risk the strap breaking, your watch falls on the ground and boom! 4-5 times more than what you would spend on a good band.

Was never a fan of the straps until seeing all of the great pics.... those explorers look nice on the nato fabric and leather bands

I'm pretty sure that canvas with deployment clasp is from Timefactors straps.

Here’s a few of the straps I prefer. Mostly I wear it on a grey NATO.

Has anyone ever tried putting a 114060 oyster bracelet on a 16570? I love the weight/feel of my 114060 bracelet, and can’t think of any reason it wouldn’t fit (as long as I use right spring bars) since they use the same rubber b & Everest straps.

+1 it’s like it was meant to be on a strap

Yes! For my first 4 months of owning the 16570 I have worn it exclusively on the 114060 oyster. It fits perfectly and is a nice upgrade. You do notice the additional weight over the original bracelet though.

And here another strap option - Regatta Nato from Cheapest Nato Straps
