SD43 with Rubber Strap

Got the opportunity to purchase a SD43 last week
Looking to change the bracelet to a Tropic or Isofrane Strap
Just wondering if anybody has done it before or if there picture out there?

That’s a good looking watch on that rubber strap.

I wonder if Rolex would ever supply the Submariner or Sea Dweller on a Rubber strap, or include one in the box as an alternative?

Good find brian.

I think the sd43 is perfect on the bracelet. It does look good on rubber though.

I’ve only put one Rolex on a rubber bracelet which was the air king 116900 it looked great I just didn’t like the feel. Didn’t get on with Daytona on OF either to be honest.

Biggest downside of an aftermarket rubber strap is losing the adjustment.

They need to offer the SD43 with an Oysterflex bracelet.

A Tropic does not fit a modern SD. A Tropic fits in the 5 digits and especially in the 4 digits.

My dream is the day Rolex sells the Oysterflex to its customers. For now, the RubberB straps are pretty good. I prefer the tang buckle version as I worked at my desk a lot during the summer months.
