Best strap for Elephant?

From what I have seen, I like the grey rubber. The rubber on my 44RG is great as I don't worry about wear and I can swim with it.

No, 44's rubber does not fit 42s.

I think that the grey or the black rubber look equally great on this piece.

You also may want to try a white rubber strap. White goes well with lots of color including grey and give the watch a more youthful and sporty appearance.

Here are a couple pics of mine on a black rubber strap. It really transforms the look of the watch.

That's the first time I've seen black...And I love it. Brings out the numerals, which are typically hard to see IMO

Rubber for sure, grey clearly, but would think white and black will look great as well

the OEM AP black is BY far the best rubber option IMHO.. I think this would look bad ass on an OEM AP Black flat gator with grey stitching (they can change the stitching for u). I am really not a fan of the grey hornback the buckle really tears it up over time.
