Thinking of getting a camo rubber strap to have some upcoming summer fun with the Diver. Which color camo do you like best on this watch? Is this just a bad idea overall? Thanks for your input/comments.

Here's my watch:

The color options (with some snagged watch shots):

GRAPHITE:

RED:

GREEN:

BLUE:

SNOW:

ORANGE:

Thoughts????

blue gets my vote!

I have the blue one for my 335 and let me tell you that - it looks really good online but in real life it's a cheap looking strap. I put it on one and now it's collecting dust.

Assuming those are horus straps.

I like the green one.

singe89 · 31 March 2017, 02:14 PM

I don't get these straps. Really cheapens the looks of amazing watches in my opinion. Why go this route when AP has so many factory straps in just about every color?

Single color will look so much better, and classic !

I like the red, but just fyi these straps are quite inferior compared to AP's. For the same price they don't even bother to hide the parting lines on the sides.

Hairdude1 · 31 March 2017, 03:51 PM

It's cool but I don't see myself adding these to my AP

Phaedrus29 · 31 March 2017, 03:54 PM

Thanks for all the helpful comments so far.

I get the message.... The black rubber is obviously nice, but if I want a splash of color and do a solid AP rubber, which color would you go with for the Diver?

Found this one on here:

Someone has a solid white strap from AP for the diver, and it looks real summery, that is the one I would get. The others like everyone said, really cheapen the watch

1William · 31 March 2017, 09:47 PM

I like the graphite.

csi-n · 31 March 2017, 10:21 PM

Camos are definitely not my thing, I wouldn't do it. As already mentioned, the Diver or any other AP for that matter, is much better suited with a solid color strap IMHO. In addition to black and white, there were 3 or 4 new colors added with the Chrono Divers a couple of years ago. I think they are orange, green, blue??? I think they are on the AP's website.

White strap will look awesome on a black diver!

Here's a few pics of benlee's diver on the white strap (thanks benlee!):

And this one might be on a blue rubber strap unless it's just the lighting:

Same here, I bought one in May '16 thinking that it looked good in the online advert but when it arrived I was extremely disappointed. I remember the cost of the strap being high + the carriage cost was about an additional 20% of the cost of the strap and to top it off a month after delivery I received an import bill for duty. Overall it would have been less money to buy a genuine AP strap.

Found pics of another option...this is turning into a benlee appreciation thread! ;)

AK797 · 2 April 2017, 03:35 AM

I like Ben's white best. The Graphite would be fun but if the guys say it feels cheap then I'd pass.

Phaedrus29 · 2 April 2017, 04:25 AM

Thank you again to benlee...hope you don't mind! Think it will be helpful to others having all these color options pics in one place:
