Let's see some Rolex on rubber...

I thought I'd give this combo a try - Rolex YM on RubberB. It's growing on me. Very comfy and casual. It's usually hard to match a blue dial but this one is very close. Anyone else a fan of rubber - let's see 'em!

Does anyone else have a thing for isofrane? I have one of those on a Breitling Avenger and it is the most comfortable bracelet option I have ever worn.

Also, in my estimation, this is exactly what James Bond would (should?) wear today.

- Most capable diver in the lineup that's still black-tie appropriate from a diameter and thickness perspective
- Rubber strap (if combined with glidelock) is a functional upgrade on the traditional NATO.

Kudos.

I prefer the 5 digit sizes generally, but I think the new bulkier SubC and GMTc cases/lugs would look awesome with the oysterflex. When the day comes, I'm all over it. 116040 with oysterflex would be my next watch.

For now the Rubber B and Everest examples look great! More posts!
