Look at all the high priced AP and PP on rubber straps over the last 20 years. I think WIS have adapted to rubber just fine. To me it is the modern leather strap, but better, more comfortable and easier to clean. I know plenty of Rolex purists kvetch about the Oysterflexes on PM, but they are perfect for today's more casual dress world.

Don’t know, don’t care, I love the comfort of rubber and that’s all that matters. Others have different preferences and more power to 'em.

I care about what I like. Everyone else can pound sand if they do not like it.

Most of the time NATO is enough for me. But I did change my mind a bit when I saw the new Yacht Master on rubber - liked it more than I thought.

Wait till you ask about putting a $7k Sub on a $15 NATO strap ... LOL
To me, put it on whatever strap / bracelet that fits the activity and the fit. its your watch, just make sure it doesn't fall off your wrist. :D (I am ok with all bracelet, strap, NATO, etc)

I had to get a less expensive analog watch for my volunteer EMT service. I bought a Seiko field watch with a NATO type material strap. I switched it out for a rubber strap and it works just great. I thought it would create a lot of sweat, but not at this time. I’ll have to check back for summer.

I find the rubber strap on my diver perfect for the summer. Doesn’t get too hot and is of course so easy to keep clean unlike absorbent leather.

like rubber but prefer a thin tropical to the thicker types (like AP diver rubber)

I was very down on rubber until I installed a Rubber B on a customer's DeepSea. I got one for my Sub shortly after and it hasn't been taken off since. It may be permanent, as I have an Explorer with an oyster bracelet already.

I have a few on rubber. The Speake-Marin came on white rubber.
