A Rolex belongs on a bracelet.

I think it looks great, but would look better w/some end links.

Thank u for your very honest answer. Had this strap for a long time. Thought change tt to strap so my wife can wear it. Coz she doesnt want to wear it with the bracelet. Too bling she said. Seems she like it. So just gave her to try. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Generally not a fan of subs on leather, but I actually think it looks good!

I like the combo, but there seems to be a balance issue between thickness of strap to lug size. As previously mentioned, end links may solve this.

No. It's too slim and makes the head look huge!

Why not? You can always change back.

I'm just being honest, no it doesn't do it for me.
But I think you shouldn't care what the bloody swede thinks! If you like it, you wear it!!!

It looks good but I think a calf strap would look better, gator is a bit too dressy with a diver bezel. And maybe gold stitching to blend it in more with the TT.

Looks a bit large on the strap. Perhaps endlinks added will add enough "meat" to compensate. JMHO.

You need a beefier strap to match those lugs.

No! If you want an alternative to the TT Oyster Bracelet, then maybe a good quality blue rubber with deployment buckle. Another option that might work would be a thick coated leather strap with bold stitching on the sides.

Whatever you dig...that's all that matters. That said, the Sub is a diver's watch and should be on steel or rubber, IMHO.
Funny though...as I write this I'm wearing a Black Bay on its leather strap! Doh! |

Negative. And your bezel seems to be misaligned?

Add endlinks and it's a winner.
Who cares what others think, though. If you like it (or if your wife likes it), wear it. |

Even as a fan of leather straps not sure about it but your watch so why not as Dan P. said you can always change it back.

Honestly, I love that watch, but I HATE it on that band. Please put it back on the steel.
