While I can certainly appreciate the desire to change it up and go with a strap from time to time, for me this one belongs on the oyster bracelet with glidelock

I agree, 100%.

I'm taking delivery of my SD43 in a few weeks and was almost certain I'd immediately put it on a leather Nato, but I'm having second thoughts. Something about an SD in specific on anything but the stock bracelet seems wrong. I might try it at some point, but am hoping to amass a couple other watches before such boredom settles in. That said, I do really like the SD on the military green Nato seen on the previous page- that's one of my favourite colours though, so hard for me to be objective!

Great look! Where did you get these? Looking for my 16600.

Looks great im so tempted to do the same

The Rolex Sea-Dweller 126600 on a strap, especially a new 22mm green Synchron Tropic strap is beautiful and comfortable. Also, don't forget, Mr Sean Connery wore a Rolex 6538 big-crown Sub on a 16mm green-and-black striped nylon strap and made it a legend and priceless.

Dive watches look great with a rubber band.

Kind of a silly question really.

Why would anyone buy a dive watch that they are not exclusively using for diving? Rolex can call it a "dive" watch all it wants. It can be used for that but that is not its primary use any longer.

These things are jewelry that can be used for other things. Dress it up however you would like.

I tried a NATO and it was just too top heavy. Also tried rubber strap, was better, looked good, still too top heavy. Eventually I went back to the bracelet. I do think the blue rubber looked best but wares better with the metal, balance counts a lot.

Thanks

I wear this one a rubber strap. It gets swapped a bit but rubber is good. I also have blue.

Always liked the look of a tropic strap, but don't see too many examples out there.

Original 21mm Oysterflex and aftermarket endlinks for finished look.

Looks pretty decent on Brady sailcloth strap with red stitching (picture from member @meganfox17).

Skabadi · 28 January 2023, 08:16 PM

Definitely not for me. Can’t see my DSC on a strap. It will be against all the laws of physics

Must be the angle, but that watch looks like it is attacking and digesting your arm. Like a giant squid LOL

I prefer the bracelet, but those strap combos look good.

Lol, I think it’s both the angle and I have a small wrist.
