126610LV on Horus rubber?

Has anybody tried this? They have a few different shades of green but the "shamrock" color seems like it would be a great color match for the ceramic green, though they don't have a picture showing that pairing.

I don't have an LV yet but I'm tempted to pick one up on the current sale anyway. If any of you have one, which shade of green did you go with?

Worth a punt at under £50

Doesn't seem to say which version / case it fits... (but I only looked quickly)

Good eye, I missed that detail. Their other Sub straps have a 40/41 selection so I had assumed this one did as well... that's too bad because the one that has a 41 seems much darker than the green bezel... so no good options I guess.

Check out Barton watch straps, easier price point if you just want to excitement with colors while going off bracelet.

I would say go even lower price. After all, this is just 10 cent molded silicone rubber with holes…Why get a lower price to test? Well, what usually happens is experimentation through boredom. People get an idea that they’d like to try their bracelet purchased Rolex on a band/strap. We’ve all done these things, but we learn our lesson. I’d venture to say that a very tiny % of owners end up staying with the strap/band change, instead the experiment ends with the acquisition collecting dust in some drawer after the novelty has worn off.

Therefore, those sold on Etsy are a few bucks, look the same and are a good price point to experiment with. One can get 5 or 6 colors for the price of just one so called “premium” brands. By all means, if you truly like the look/feel then upgrade to the premiums and throw the Etsy’s in the trash. I bet few end up upgrading, thats my experience and 2 cents

This is so so true and hit home very hard.
