Interesting! The brown is nice, however, I think a black strap would look even nicer! Very cool nonetheless!

Another one here to echo the above sentiments.

What you have now looks fantastic, but I suspect for me, the black might trump it.

Although the stripe is nice, IMHO sport Rolex watches deserve their oyster bracelets ...

Gotta agree. Although I've seen some vintage DJ's on leather, I've always prefered bracelets on Rolex watches.

I'm in the group that doesn't like leather on a Sub, and I would go with black if I went that route.

Beautiful strap! I could really relate to that one on a root beer GMT! Nice camera work!

Sorry but I think that looks awful...for the same reason that you don't wear brown shoes with a black belt.

I find it interesting how many beautiful, black face watches out there, have brown or tan leather straps. Yet, with Rolex, if it’s not on a bracelet, it looks terrible. This way of thinking has always perplexed me.
