Thanks, everyone!!

@ Jamie - yes!! The orange rubber was the runner-up choice for the Milgauss!

@ Magwitch - might not be too late! There might be one or two left at some ADs! (I got mine recently)

Does the rubber strap fit flush with the Milgauss lugs? Looks a bit receded due to the larger case size?

Not something I'd be able to pull off, but I think they look good....I think the orange on the Milgauss would be a good combo.

Strangely, the white strap does not sit flush (nor do the ones on Rubber B's website). But the orange on Exp2 sits flush, and so do some of the pictures of the black strap on Rubber B's website.

Did you get the correct size (width)? Did you try contacting Rubber B?

Very nice. I think I've come to the conclusion that the white dialled Milgauss is my favourite variant of the modern range of Milgausses.

The colors are perfect for the summer time. Nice watch and nice straps. Are these from Rubber B?

The orange rubber really makes the orange hand pop. Would look good on either. Pretty cool.

They 'sound' gross but look fantastic. I think an orange on the Milguass would look pretty cool too.

The Orange really makes your wrist pop but I think I would go the more conservative route and stick to white.
