Green sub on rubber
Hi guys,

Does anyone have any pics of a green sub on other types of straps like rubber or NATO. It's hard to tell from google images if it looks good.

Thanks.

I do not like that green, but I think it looks great on that first nato.

That nato doesn't look too bad.

The green everest goes quite well with the 116610LV, otherwise, another great option is the rubberb rubber strap with the green line.

Thanks.
Google images is telling you the truth - it doesn't look good on anything other than the original bracelet.

Please just leave it as it is, I've never seen a Sub on anything other than bracelet that does the watch justice.

IMHO I also think the original bracelets look the best. With that said, why not change it up for some fun. There is a photo on another thread (no clue which one, sorry) of a blue 18k sub with the blue Everest strap and looks great.

I appreciate it looks great on the original bracelet but it's fun to mix it up a little for a change. Any other pics all welcome

Wouldn't do it on mine, but looks ok if you think so. Not a fan.

The dial and bezel are so striking, that adding a coloured strap (even black) makes the watch a bit overwhelming IMHO

I tried a Black Nato on mine and it only lasted 5 mins , IMO nothing beats the bracelet on the LV .

The bracelet is so good, so adjustable--unless you need a fashion statement--I personally would never bother. Of course the NATO thing has always been lost on me.

What Rolexes do you like on rubber straps?

I wear mine in orange Everest rubber. It is a polarised combo. Personally I like the playful contrast.

I spent five years wearing my LVc on nothing but the bracelet, because I thought nothing else worked with it. Then I saw someone with that blue/green NATO, and I'm very happy that I went for it. It looks great and is VERY comfortable....I like how the watch doesn't flop around without feeling right.
