would a rubber strap ruin the look of a rolex

This strap looks fantastic, as does your watch!

Not a fan of rubber straps at all, but like other types and styles.

I have a DJ2 I sometimes swap out onto a leather strap. I find the PCL links of the oyster bracelet sometimes just make the whole watch too reflective at times.

Not for me

Thank you

Nothing wrong with a nice appreciate band.

Rubber straps aren't bad, there's no harm trying new stuffs.

Not at all

Didn't ruin it for me YMMV, but...

Nope. I absolutely love the Rubber B on my SD43.

Now I just need a JC so I can have bracelet too.

Yea, I tried a few and sold them all.

Lots of people use these rubber straps but I suspect that the brackelets have a way of finding their way back onto the watch.

It would be good if they were a little easier to change.

I change out my Daytona to a RubberB for the month of July to create a carefree, summer watch. I enjoy it, as does my girlfriend because she can easily size it to her wrist (I have the tang version).







Pssst … don’t tell anyone, but I’ve actually put an (Omega) nato on it too

Looks good on rubber as long as the strap marries up with case (not leaving that gap)

Absolutely the Horus strap!!

The coloured straps look horrible to me, black is really nice, I had a black Rubber B but I couldn't keep it on for more than a few days and always had an urge to return to the bracelet. Sold the B after a few months. I was the same way with my Omega 300m.

[creepy neville]

My 2 cents …

I think rubber straps cheapen the look of a Rolex - any Rolex.

But as most have said - whatever floats your boat is the best option for you.

Myself, I have worn my Rolex’s ‘lose’ on a factory metal strap for decades, anything else would just not feel right.

Rolex apparently doesn't think so with the their OF straps.

I literally bought my Milgauss just so I could put an orange rubber strap on it. The factory steel is pretty plain and a little boring.

This is the only watch I wear on a rubber strap to this day. To me, my Rolex watches look so much better on their bracelet. Actually even the Omega does, but it gets heavy on the bracelet (205g vs 127g on rubber).

[GGGMT]

For me, yes it did. So I took it off. I do however where my tutor Blackbay, 58 on a rubber

Agreed. The looks of mine are "ruined", and it is JUST the time of year that I will endure looking at it on pool days for several months. It is my official watch of beach, pool and sand.

Awesome!! Great minds, right!! Yes - some of us must “endure” afternoons at the pool!

I say yes. I personally prefer the OEM bracelet.

Oyster Flex. Essentially a Rolex bracelet wrapped in rubber.

[Chadridv]

Overall no! I’m all for it generally speaking but some watches work much better than others.

[jbsmith]

I love oysterflex on my daytonas, and they are oem rubber with titanium core.

Love mine on rubber. Converted these two. Bluesy on a Rubber B and Daytona on an OF...
