It's not the best one probably, but I like blue and wanted a little change without totally changing it, will get the white one zoon probably the best combo with the black dial...

You think?
On RG 44 Novelty the white strap looks kicka55, I'm unsure how it would be on Ceramic Diver. I'd love to see photos! Has anyone or can anyone do this?

Not on the ceramic with the orange it won't.
The contrast will be too stark and look out of place – would probably work well with the SS and white dial.
I'm not aware of an orange strap, so short of a custom leather one, you're stuck with the black or blue.

honestly, i think black looks the best. if you really want something special, then orange. if the watch had some blue highlights then the blue strap would be ok. but it doesn't.......

I know the BLNR is a hot watch that proves blue and black can be great, but this black and blue (with hits of orange) don't mix, IMO.

As much as I like mixing and matching straps, with the ceramic diver, I'd stick with the black.

The novelty 44's come on the tang buckle though. So ap does not have a red rubber strap for them? Would be a shame because I would love one.

Closest match would be the strap from the Volcano.

Doesn't look right to me either. I'd stick to black, white or maybe even orange? If they even make an orange strap

They make an orange hornback with blue stitching on the Goliath.

I like the black better, but I can see how this (and other colors) are good for a change of pace.

I might be a little more concerned that you are looking for a change of pace after just a couple of months with the watch.
