I'd like a nice summer watch on a white rubber strap. But I HATE all the "normal" options!! NO Divers, at all! Lol.

How do you guys think a Volcano would look on white rubber?
Any photos??! Thanks

Think it would look better on the new orange rubber strap. There really issue much white on the dial to tie in the white rubber strap.

At first, I was thinking "hell no"! Then, I pulled up a pic of it again... and I think it will look pretty decent. Im thinking with the lighter toned SS case, it won't be such a stark difference going to a white strap. You could always sell it if you don't like it, the white rubber seems to be pretty popular right now. I do believe you'd have to pick up a tang for it too, but not 100% sure.

IMO, it ain’t going to work – too stark a contrast between the steel and the rubber, with nothing to tie it in to the black and orange dial.
You can see the Volcano with orange rubber on Google images, which does work, for the obvious reason.

It’s a bit rough and ready, but should let you see that the white rubber strap looks tacky and wrong.

Thanks a lot for the responses guys!!
I agree, not enough white in the dial to tie in the strap - so I won't be doing that white rubber! Thanks!
