Icon2 WHITE or ORANGE

Hello all, this beautiful Milgauss is about to be accessorized with either an Orange or White Rubber B strap.

What do you guys think? Thoughts?

If anyone owns one with a rubber B strap by all means don't be afraid to share a pic!:)

Thanks!!

Honestly? I wouldn't. It looks great as it is. If I were to change to a new strap I would go leather, not rubber..

What a great watch. Between white & orange, I would say orange (white straps are a bit much for me, but I think the orange could be very cool). Looking forward to the pix either way.

Also, fairly recently there were pix posted of a white Milgauss on a black sailcloth strap with orange stitching that looked great, IMO.

I was leaning more towards the orange as well! Thanks for the opinion, i like the idea of the black with orange stitching too. I just love the different looks and how unique straps can really stand out from the thousands of other people with the same watch :)

I'd also leave it as it is. The Oyster bracelet is hard to beat!

I agree. Orange is too loud on an already loud watch. White is far too feminine.

Orange if you are dead set, other than that I like the Oyster.

I guess orange, but it's not something I would do. Certainly don't do white.

Orange if you need a change.
Steel bracelet over everything.

wow that looks great on the explorer II!! Thanks for sharing, I have always been a fan of the various traps you are capable of putting on these beautiful watches. I understand the essence and originality of leaving the manufactured bracelets on the watch as it was intended to be worn. But Ive always had a thing for trying to stand out ;) ha! Thanks again

I would use more than one colour, maybe something like this:
But I realize that this can't be done with rubber.
