Red strap!

Picked up this red Horus strap and it’s a lot of fun- quality is pretty good, a lot thinner than my Everest and so light on the wrist.

Are you happy with the fit?

I ordered an orange strap from Horus for my explorer ii polar and it fit terribly. The unfortunate part is that I found out the hard way that “after purchase” support from Horus to be non-existent.

While cheaper than RubberB or Everest, they still aren’t inexpensive at $100+.

Heh, that red is pretty bold. I prefer straps that match or complement colors in the watch head, but I can also appreciate just going for pure sporty colour.

i wonder if the little pop of colour on the dial of the current Sea-Dweller (or a vintage red sub) would be enough to match the red.

Not my cup of tea. Camo belongs on the battlefield or on the hunt, not as a fashion statement. Call me old fashioned. It looks kinda ghetto.

I like the rubber look on a Submariner no doubt. Definitely the Everest. I think it goes well. But I like solid colors like black.

But if you're digging it, then that's what counts.

The Rolex 116610 has arguably the best bracelets in the history of horology, certainly one of the finest you will find on any sports watch. What's that you've got there?

Um. Uh.

No. No. No.

Red tap out camo watch straps are not me.

I’d go all red only.

If you like it, that’s all that matters (obligatory)

we all end up back on the bracelet at some point or another. It just takes a bit of time.

Curious the age of all the “nopes” lol.

It’s cool. I keep thinking of gray digi camo for my blnr. However I just have a problem w horus being too much when a comparable panatime is $25.

Not all of us. I take the bracelets off at the AD and wrap them in plastic to store away.

Nothing wrong with the bracelets (design, quality, etc.) I just do not like wearing any bracelet from any watch brand that I have tried so far.
