Do you swap the straps on your SS model?

[mclain777]

Variety is the spice of life. I enjoy mixing things up once in a while. When I swap the bracelet for a rubber strap, it's not like I throw away the bracelet. Very easy to switch back and forth.

Not a big strap guy but some of these posts look great

This! I have tried them on three ceramics now, most I ever last is two days and I just can’t get used to it. Think I’ve given up now would love to just own an extra oysterflex watch some day, that’s the way forward!

I used to dress down my BLRO with a strap when I don't feel comfortable with the Rolex look.

For those sporting the Everest or RubberB. Can you use the same strap for Daytona and GMT?

Yes, does that on regular basis.

[lamfactor]

Pre ceramic sub with a Nato is definitely tasteful changeup.

As far as straps go, yes count me in as one that only uses the curved Everest and RubberB straps. I really don’t like “the gap” and think that the curved ends of the straps are essential to maintaining the basic shape of the watch. Would never never use a strap with a gap.

This will stay on all summer! Love my Everest strap

For 20+ years my 16610 had an iron diet; now its clear to have a more balanced meal !

I do swap straps with bracelets frequently. Sometimes all it takes is a few days on a nato or rubber and then I’ll be craving the steel bracelet, or vice versa. I think for my small collection especially, the changing of straps and looks keeps things interesting and with enough variety that I’m not constantly trying to acquire new pieces, and allows me to become more personal with what I have. The routine act of changing out a strap and interacting with your watch on that level, is not routine for every watch collector, but for me when I’m doing an “oil change” or a wax job, there is more of a personal bond there.

Nato for daily desk dive

When I occasionally feels like wearing the bracelet, I’ll pick my gmt ceramic for smart casual or explorer polar for sportier look



Wanna get rubber b, but my wrist size is only 5.5inch. Not sure if it will fit

Was looking at one of these straps, any reason why Rubber B is better than Everest?

[mosanman]

Why not?

[zjd168]

The only model I tried is DJ, it looks OK.

Anything else, the swaps are all eyesore looking hideous, frankly.

[Sjmoore11]

I’m a serial swapper. I like the bracelets but I also appreciate nice leather, NATOs, and (my favourite) Erika’s Originals. Because of my swapping trends, I’m a big lug hole fan and currently don’t own any Rolex without holes. Plus I feel straps look better on 4 and 5 digit models.

On my wrist today:


1016 looks awesome on anything. Does dress watch duty for me on a nice ostrich leather:


This one usually stays on bracelet but occasionally I’ll mix it up:

[Johnpierpontmorgan]

Hi watch strap folks



Can a 5.6 inch wrist fit into rubber b straps??

[stateman]

Hulk in Rubber B and moved the 97200 with glide lock to the BLNR. And I know some people will hate both but my preferred combo for a little while

IMO I find the RubberB to fit my wrist (7.25 in) a lot better than the Everest and their customer service department is top notch.

The Oyster stays on 24/7.

Here is my SD4K on a black rubber Everest. Almost gives it a similar look to the WG Yachtmaster that Steve Mnuchin wears.

I love rolex bracelets, but decided to try out a few variations with my Daytona --
