Hey guys, not too sure if I am posting this in the right place so if it isn't please let me know as I am new to this forum stuff. Anyway, I just purchased my first Rolex and will be posting here since I am hooked! I am a pilot in South Florida and found myself gravitating to the GMT Master II and once my buddy who is a dealer came across one I finally jumped on it. It's a 116713 and I immediately replaced the original strap with a rubber one since I am a heavy watch wearer and wanted to preserve the original one. What do you guys think?

Welcome!
GMT fits perfect to your life! wear it in great health. Rubber strap looks good but dont be worried about using the bracelet these new rolex bracelets really dont stretch or wear out like the days of old

Welcome to the forum. Lovely watch! It’s a slippery slope once you join. The next one will be along much more sooner than you think lol

You bought the watch to wear it - so put it back on steel and stop worrying.

Cheers

Welcome to the forums! I think it looks great, but IMHO I think all TTs look way better on the bracelet.
