Rootbeer GMT on Rubber?
Saw this post from Everest this morning. Don’t think I’ve ever seen this combo before but it’s amazing.

What are your thoughts?

Who the heck would swap out an 18ct gold Oyster bracelet for a bit of rubber would be my first thought.

Makes it more casual in the summer months during the day. I don’t mind it as long as it’s a temporary change.

But how different is it from seeing a YM on an Oysterflex?

I like it.

I believe he is referring to the Everose version, not the two tone.

I just don’t understand the whole Rubber Bracelet craze.

Personally, I wouldn’t.

Life has gotten much more casual so I feel like rubber is a good way to “de-bling” a luxury watch.

There are a lot better strap watches. Rolex is a bracelet watch.

Could see a nice dark brown leather strap looking great on the rootbeer.
