    I used to be indecisive..

    Now I’m not so sure

    Metal


    Nato


    Or rubber?


    I think the rubber just pips it for me today but by tomorrow I’ll probably have changed my mind!

    I like the idea of a NATO strap, but in practice don't like the way it raises the watch off the wrist. Even when using the single layer RAF type.

    Rubber for me. Just.
    Would be more definite if in red to match the second hand and text.

    Good point, well presented. I did ponder with the red one to, and the yellow, and the blue

    Do the gaps between the watch head and strap remain when on wrist?

    The NATO wins it for me.

    They do at the moment, hopefully it will soften up a bit and become less obvious.

    Wear it in the bath, pool or sea to soften it up a bit quicker.

    Orange rubber, as it will look less like a Rolex on orange rubber.

    I'm not against rubber, but it has to make sense in terms of colours. I couldn't really live with an orange strap while the watch has red accents, so a resolute Mmetal!" for me - which is just as well, because to me, the watch looks best by a mile on it.

    Rubber, but black rubber surely???? Don't think the orange works very well, personally.

    That watch looks strangely familiar...

    Forgive me but I’m not sure what your post alludes to. Yes I’ve posted pics of it before, is there a one watch one pic rule I’m not aware of?

    I used to be indecisive..

    Red or black rubber would be great. Like others who’ve commented, I don’t quite understand why you would put that watch head on orange rubber... awful colour clash ...

    Probably because I have no taste In all honesty the minute amount of red on the face means it does not bother me at all. I am waiting for similar straps in red and black so will report back when they arrive, as long as I’m not in breach of the one watch one post rule

    'Fraid I'm with this -- yes to rubber to make it look distinctive, but not orange (or lime green, or royal blue)!

    My choice would be red -- make a statement. But, it would look very respectable on black.

    Bracelet for me, although agree with the above comment. Red rubber would look good

    The red strap arrived today, it’s a better fit at the lugs than the orange and it looks slightly redder in the flesh. Cost was considerably less to.

    Where did you buy the strap from?
