Strap is questionable on that beauty .
Doesn’t look bad though...
Bracelet is timeless and perfect.

I tend to like the original look a little better. Still, I like that the rubber band repeats the blue, and sometimes just switching something up a bit helps me appreciate it anew. Bonus, it'll give the bracelet a little time off.

Hey go for it. I'm not changing mine up though. Love the feeling and weight of that 18K bracelet.

I’d like to see a wrist shot, but I think I like it. Not something I would have thought of, but it works imo.

I like rubber straps on SS but I wouldn't change a PM bracelet for rubber. I paid a lot of $ for my PM bracelet!

You know what, it’s there so I had to try it.

The only fear is that I would be ham fisted and scratch up the finish, so I took my time, taped up the lugs, and got my trusty tooth picks out :)

Rubber on full YG is sometimes OK, but I always go back to the original bracelet. Always.

Thank goodness. The strap looks nice, no way in hell I could pay for all that gold just to take it off. Now if the watch came on a strap, that's another story.
Just look at that beautiful gold bracelet, it makes the watch.

Hahaha, it happened to me as well. Cool looking for about 2 hours. Then off with the rubber and back to the bracelet. Nice $250 experiment.

If you want a change up then it is OK. The bracelet is so strong though I would basically keep it on it.

Sometimes the only way to know is to try! Definitely looks better on the bracelet but how did rubber feel on the wrist?
