16610 Anniversary Green Sub LV: Creative Strap Options?

Dear All:

As the Anniversary Green Sub LV 16610 has such an unusual green aluminum bezel, may I ask what creative strap options the good folks here might have?

Also, when using either a custom strap or off the shelf strap, do you guys tend to use an after market/3rd party "end piece"? or, do you prefer to let there be a gap between the case and the spring bar area when using a strap?

Thank you in advance. Looking forward to see creative strap options!

I don't use leather straps on Rolex models that don't have lug holes. Those spring bars don't go in very deep.

I recommend RubberB VulChromatic black with the green centre line.

Yeah, the problem is that Rolex and Omega supply spring bars that are closer to 19mm for their bracelets (without lug holes,) which makes it easier to get the bracelet on and off. You want to get a set of true 20mm bars if using a strap.

Have you checked out Everest bands? I don't have one but I'm very tempted.
