Was experimenting today. What do we think?

dnutz · 12 June 2015, 06:36 PM

do you have more pics roger? but I think it still looks better with the rubber strap

conkers · 12 June 2015, 07:12 PM

Another.

conkers · 12 June 2015, 07:14 PM

And Another.

conkers · 12 June 2015, 07:19 PM

Standard here.

HL65 · 12 June 2015, 07:22 PM

Looks good Roger but for me prefer the rubber.

I agree

conkers · 12 June 2015, 07:40 PM

The logic was that the stitching picks up the red needles. It definitely looks better in the flesh to my eyes but I will probably revert to rubber.

masterserg · 12 June 2015, 08:04 PM

The combo looks a little off to me. Have to see in real life.

PS, on second looks ... it's getting better :)

conkers · 12 June 2015, 09:52 PM

It is growing on me! It makes it feel a bit more like a limited piece. Stupid I know.

texex91 · 12 June 2015, 09:59 PM

Wonder what a gray rubber strap would look like?

Cru Jones · 12 June 2015, 10:23 PM

lookin' good.

i'd also be tempted to use grey stitching to bring out the dial and let the red hands "pop" on their own....

Not a real comparison point, but I tried the Schumi gray on the 44 SS and it looked a little muted ... it might be a nice match for the anthracite dial / black case.

TonyD · 12 June 2015, 11:01 PM

I love it. I think a nice contrast stitch goes a long way. I love to swap straps for fun.

Put a bright red strap on it. Heck, put it on a lime green strap. OK maybe not green......

Its not like you're trying to match shoes to a prom dress. Enjoy it!

s14roller · 12 June 2015, 11:13 PM

Side by side, I prefer the rubber.

orangedial · 12 June 2015, 11:50 PM

Roger, I prefer rubber. Maybe a dark grey hornback with black or red stitch would be nicer :)

el1125 · 13 June 2015, 12:01 AM

Prefer original rubber

APRolex · 13 June 2015, 12:32 AM

Rubber !

malarky_hk · 13 June 2015, 12:33 AM

I think it works!

GB-man · 13 June 2015, 01:15 AM

It works but I love rubber straps so I would lean that way.

conkers · 13 June 2015, 01:31 AM

Thanks guys appreciate the feedback!

csi-n · 13 June 2015, 01:33 AM

I'm going to say that they work equally well, so if you were to alternate between the rubber and the alligator straps, you'd be all set.

I think it would be a nice rotational permutation.

singe89 · 13 June 2015, 03:45 AM

Too glossy. I think the black/grey/red GP strap would look perfect on that watch!

mspeed76 · 13 June 2015, 04:24 AM

i think the grey schumi strap would look perfect, matching the dial and pushers

the hard lines of the rubber strap match the case

Marciano490 · 13 June 2015, 04:28 AM

Love the stitching. Really brings out the red. Did the same with my GP and it worked great. Trust your gut.

jjnd08 · 13 June 2015, 04:58 AM

I like it for a change up, but prefer the rubber.

DECR · 13 June 2015, 05:38 AM

Rubber looks better IMO

edo · 13 June 2015, 06:00 AM

Rubber looks way better... the only non rubber strap I like on 44 mm is blue croco on 44 platinum... this one and others I saw on 44 mm models looks too thick...

Colin W · 13 June 2015, 08:13 AM

I like it. Also think Carbon GP strap would look great & possibly Grey Schumi. Lots of great options 😄

Red edged GP strap is a good idea. Will ascertain if it fits the novelty's lugs.
