Hi,

First time posting on here and just wanted to introduce myself and one of my watches from the collection I've been building.

I got an Everest strap and wanted to get your opinion on it. Any other recommendations for some different rubber straps i can try out ? Photos ?

Honestly I find myself switching between no stap / strap all the time. Gives it a different feel.

Source OF, I like the end link look

I prefer a bracelet. I like the aesthetics of both, but the flexibility of bracelet sizing wins it for me. That being said, I think Everest straps mitigate that by having a more traditional clasp that doesn't require cutting right?

Bracelet. For me it’s the same as an AP RO...needs a bracelet to look complete.

It’s like having two watches in one! Two totally different yet really good looks!

Yes definitely true!

Blicky41 · 14 January 2019, 07:48 AM

Thanks I appreciate that. Not many dig the TT look, but I decided to get it because it stands out. Too much SS in my collection

Rubber look great to me

Hibbyx · 14 January 2019, 08:04 AM

I nearly bought a WG Daytona C on oysterflex, wish I had and I think it's going to be my next watch, loved it

Fuerdai · 14 January 2019, 08:05 AM

I wonder if they will ever have ceramic Daytona in gold bracelets in future versions.

I vote bracelet.

Chadridv · 14 January 2019, 08:15 AM

I love rubber, but 99% of the time the original bracelet rules above all! This is among the 99%.

sensui · 14 January 2019, 08:16 AM

Bracelet.

Solo118 · 14 January 2019, 08:19 AM

Bracelet for me, maybe the rubber would look good on a Stainless Daytona

HogwldFLTR · 14 January 2019, 08:20 AM

I prefer the bracelet but there's no problem mixing it up on occasion!!!

Rolex Essex · 14 January 2019, 08:26 AM

For TT Daytona it looks better on bracelet.
Try to get end links with OF strap, it may look better than the Everest strap.
The only downside with end links is there’s no gold on it.

Ben.McDonald7 · 14 January 2019, 09:15 AM

Bracelet although the precious metal daytonas on oysterflex are a close second. I don't like the look of Everest bands on the Daytonas personally.

It actually looks great on the rubber! That said, I always prefer wearing my watches on the bracelet.

vigsva · 14 January 2019, 09:31 AM

The bracelet man!

cajerseyboy · 14 January 2019, 09:56 AM

They both have their place. Rubber more casual. Bracelet more dressed up.

samson66 · 14 January 2019, 09:59 AM

I'm actually surprised how good that looks on an Everest! Both are great looks.

peticks · 14 January 2019, 10:09 AM

bracelet on this one

ygoloroh · 14 January 2019, 10:09 AM

Bracelet. Perhaps a different answer if the bezel was more matte (i.e. ceramic).

bradyb · 14 January 2019, 10:30 AM

Bracelet, but both look good.
