CE Diver strap options

I picked up a few straps for my CE Diver, a black hornback, white rubber strap and a green Horus strap. I think the green works, hornback is ok but not really sure about the white rubber. Wife tells me it's ok and "somehow" works.

What do you guys think?

Sorry, don't really like any and leather on a Diver is an absolute no. I say black or orange.

Agreed

I tried Grey too and that didn’t really work.

I agree with this. The black and green work for me but the orange in the dial just throws it off for me a bit.

Imho the only strap that works with the CE diver is the original black rubber strap.

Jury’s out on the reverse Oreo option - I think if was white ceramic on black strap it may ‘fit’ better.

The black hornback works visually, but as mentioned already, leather + water doesn’t mix well.

Green, nice looking option - the tonalities work well together. Maybe a few wrist shots of that one would be cool.

would be great if they made a black oem rubber with orange accents on it (perhaps similar to the one that comes with the latest black/red ceramic bezeled chrono)..

or if they were to make the two "channels" in the strap that lead to the plots orange.

I only like rubber on divers, and I'd look at getting a custom black with orange sides one made, a la the GP strap which is just a winner.

Will AP make a custom rubber strap like they do for hornback, or would it be 3rd party ?

Probably not AP but you should ask as they do do custom work, but not usually on rubber.

Sorry but I don't think none of the three works for this watch.
Only black and orange rubber straps work in my opinion.

Thanks gents for the input!

I'll probably just try them on a few days a week since I already have them. I wish there was something like the GP strap for the 42mm case.
