Daytona 18k on Rubber B's (no end links)

Couldn't resist....

Similar feeling to my IWC Deep One rubber bracelet.

Awesome watch, I'll have to visit my AD for a good look now.
This combo is nice too!

Sorry although not a fan of gold watches if I had a all gold watch then it would be on the gold bracelet and not any sort of rubber strap as IMHO it does nothing for the watch..

Didn't sound good but I think it actually looks great. The strap seem to make the sub dials pop.

I've just taken delivery of a Rubber B be it for my SS SubC and they do feel great.

Really like that look you've got going on there with the golds contrast to the black rubber strap.

Love it, totally changed the look of the watch. I wish Rolex would offer a rubber strap on some of their watches. I think Rubber on the Explorer II would be awesome.

My only gripe is I'm not 100% on the 6 o'clock sides link between the strap and the clasp, but that's me being really fussy.

Not a leather strap fan and think for me head and bracelet in YG would be too much but your pics actually make me want a YG watch, just a shame my bank manager doesn't agree

I think it would be a much better fit on SS or WG. But it's not hideous. Variety keeps it interesting around here!

Been using a rubber strap on a Tudor chrono and GMT II. It matches well with the Oyster case, IMHO.
That there's a beauty!

On paper Gold and Rubber shouldn't work... but that's a great look.
