Icon7 Yachtmaster 116622 w/ White Everest Band

Let me know what you guys think! I love the oyster bracelet, but I feel more comfortable with this on for day-to-day. Also looks unique in my humble opinion.

I'm a bracelet guy, the white doesn't do anything for me. Just my .02

Looks great for the summer or hanging at the beach.

First impression when looking at your combo is these colours clash, there's a dark navy blue dial and a bright white rubber band. So I start thinking that perhaps a red rubber strap or even better a navy blue strap would look good.

Then, the more I look at it, the more I get used to it and I imagine wearing white trousers with a navy blue jacket which works quite well.

In the end though I can't help thinking a navy blue strap would be the best combo for this dial.

My 2 cents. As long as you like it, it's all that matters.

I wear a perforated water resistant red leather strap with ventilated rubber lining on my YM plat. dial

I have the same watch. It is visually mismatch, sorry. The dissonance is too loud. The strap supposed to push attention towards the watch, not the opposite.

I agree. Plus I think white straps look feminine, so I would never consider it. I think navy would look much better.

If you like it that is all that matters.

Love it! I put a white rubber b band on my SS/PL Yachtmaster and it was like getting a whole new watch.

Your combo looks fantastic!

And can always put our oyster bracelets back onto our watches. I've had mine for 17 years and the change of pace is refreshing.

Wear it in good health. Enjoy your beautiful watch and band!

I think if you are wearing that at a resort in your white pants and Tommy Bahama shirt, it will be just perfect. It makes the watch much more casual, is what I'm trying to say.

For me, personally, I prefer the bracelet.

You are correct, too late for many of us.
