    I've seen them on jubilee bracelets which look quite good!

    Is that rubber strap made specifically for the ‘58 case?

    I saw an article once where they had one on a blue artem sailcloth and I thought it looked excellent. Maybe fratello / monochrome

    Vanguard rubber. Excellent quality and value. Had a few other options including a sailcloth but I’ve just sold the watch on so can’t photograph them

    The Vanguard strap looks excellent. I was tempted by one of these fitted rubber straps for my Black Bay, but it seems all the big brands (Everest, Rubber B, Vanguard, Crafter Blue) only make their straps in a single size, and I find that rough 80mm/125mm generic size to be just too big for a 6 3/4 inch wrist. Too much overhang. Works great on a larger wrist. I do often wonder why these expensive strap brands don't offer a modicum of sizing choice to customers

    125/80 standard or 110/70 shorter.

    I have a 6.5” wrist so one of the selling points of the Vanguard, apart from the excellent quality, was the option to get a shorter one

    I haven't found the perfect strap for the blue 58. I think the perfect nylon strap is an Erika's Original. An Erika's Original in a matching colorway to the blue 58 would be ideal but she doesn't have make one. The closest is probably the Trident but it is too dark for me. I've tried a couple of better matching straps that look great but are way too lightweight and stretchy - fine for desk diving and walking around but nothing more strenuous. If that is all you need perhaps these will work. The canvas strap was a bit of a flyer - I already had it so I tried it out with rather disappointing results. The straps are shown in best to worst color match and worst to best functionality.
