Sky Dweller on rubber
Had not seen a SkyD on rubber yet. Saw this on Instagram today. Rubber B definitely does great straps for Rolex. I think they look super! The red details look on point but I think i like the blu o blue better.

If it didn't had the flutted bezel then maybe..else no go for me! It looks like it lost half it's value (monetarily and aesthetically) on the rubber!

I like that. Black dial with black rubber and red stripe band also sweet

Im with ya. Fluted bezel is to formal for a rubber strap in my taste, but hey to each his own.

I think it looks great, and I'm not generally a fan of Rolex watches on aftermarket rubber straps.

Agree with others about the fluted bezel / rubber combo. It’s too dressy and sporty mixed IMO.

That’s absolutely stunning! I would’ve never thought I’d say that about runner on a skydweller but that’s beautiful! I might order the same one for my blue skydweller!

I understand that putting diver watches on a rubber strap is popular both by the OEM and as an aftermarket purchase. But the watch needs to be suited to a rubber strap and IMHO the Sky Dweller doesn't lend its self to a rubber strap.

Just my few cents worth of opinion.
