Yes an SS oyster would be the ticket.

This.

Currently wearing mine on a 116710LN bracelet with brushed center links.

I think it would look great on an Oyster Flex. If that's possible to fit though I'm not sure

Navy leather strap with red stitching.

My first choice would be a brushed - non polished center link oyster. Second choice would be a brown colored vintage leather strap.

That strap would look killer on the Daytona rainbow

Not a nato. It is underwear elastic with a bra clasp. Nothing like a nato.:thumbsup:

Two similar threads today. I don’t subscribe to SS on straps, other than Nato. Its sort of reminds me of the supercar running around on the space saver emergency spare tire. :rofl:

Frankly no controversy here imho. Do what you like; it's your watch!!! No one else matters in the decision making. :cheers:

Stick mine on a blushark nato whenever I want the BLRO to fly under the radar

Was the Glidelock a perfect fit Chad?

Simply gorgeous! But I gotta ask. Of the three bracelet types, which do you prefer or lean too the most? I really like the look the jubilee brings to the BLRO, but that all brushed bracelet really levels the BLRO for me of the three photo's you posted.

I'm still waiting for my BLRO to arrive, but after seeing your pictures, I think I'm going to have to source an all brushed bracelet to go with it for a change up! :cheers:

I like both the jubilee and the brushed. I'm currently wearing it on the brushed sub bracelet. However, its great to have the option to change the look occasionally.

Will the bracelet off a SubC work on this?

Hi, yes the brushed bracelet is from my Sub C 114060 with the BLRO spring bars :cheers:

Yeah, I'd say pretty damn close to perfect. No wiggle, and little to no gap exactly as it looks on a submariner! It's an awesome combo. :cheers:
