Questions about straps

I am having a bit of a dilemma. I am considering buying a Daytona 116518, YG on a leather strap. However, I cannot stand to wear a leather strap watch when its hot. (I live in South Eastern section of the US) We get all four seasons. Rubber will not work for me because I LOVE the look of the leather. However, a perfect alternative would be a hybrid of leather on the top and rubber on the bottom. (Hublot does not really well, for example)

Problem is, I cant find any of the premium end strap makers that offer this (Rubber B does, but they have VERY limited options and it basically just a strip of leather down the middle of a rubber strap) So my question is this, first off do you guys know what I am talking about and secondly who make a very high quality version of this? TIA

You want one strap for life? Where’s fun in that?

Buy 2, 4 or 10 straps and change according to weather and/or mood.

I think Hirsch has a nice leather strap with rubber underneath.
