Looks the best on the strap but must say, all the others looked better than I expected!

I have been told it's reserved to Rolesor models sold in France, but I am skeptical.
Hallmark only on precious metal case.

On the stickers, it will be off. Someday. On its own

Even oysterflex doesn’t look right on Sky D due to thicker case design.

Would like to try some leather strap with the end links like in the PM SkyDwellers. I have browsed through some websites, but there is no custom end links for skydwellers.

I like it on the Oyster the best but I'm still curious about the sources for the rubber and leather straps? Thanks for showing them!!!

I'm would love to get a jubilee for this watch and am going to figure it out. It's just more comfortable to be. And if I could get the MOP with diamonds dial, like on on DJ, I'd problem sell all the others off.

stock bracelet definitely the best looking. Leather is not bad. No on the rubber and nato.

The brown leather looked great except for the gap. I wonder if the PM that comes with the leather strap has the same gap?

Rubber B supposingly have rubber strap for 21mm PM model but till now still not released. 22mm may take another few years I guess.

For the rubber strap I shown in the photos, I got it from fleabay, no idea on the origin. It’s thick, pliable but lint magnet. For the leather strap, it’s from Horween/Zelos. Top notch quality for this strap.

The PM with strap has end links to fill the cap. I think you need ones to make it look good.

Thanks for the input. I was wondering if it was RubberB or Everest; I guess still no dice.

In this case with the watch being Bi-metal I would keep with the bracelet, as it nicely compliments the watch.

If you're going to do it, you have to do it right. Otherwise never take off that original amazing Rolex Bracelet!

Two tone Sky D is hard to match straps. I struggled with my 116523 for 5 years and said "no mas" Two Tones.

Bracelet is your best option.

Mine with black leather strap. Could not find end link to bridge the gap. Anyone knows of such solution?

I am definitely not a big fan of the rubber straps....just makes the watch look fake or cheap. Also, not a fan of any other straps as it makes the watch look cheap and fake again. Stock original straps is the best and only way to go.

Sky Dweller on various straps (rubber, leather, NATO) #PIC_HEAVY

Reviving this old thread - I just received my Two Tone SkyDweller on Jubilee and would love to put it on a rubber strap every once in a while when I want to tone it down.

Horus, Everest and RubberB seem to not have anything at the moment for the 326933 on Jubilee. RubberB supports only the Osyter clasp, not the Jubilee one.

I agree with the majority that it looks best with the bracelet - however, I do like some black rubber for my black face SkyD....
