Not bad. I forgot how the white looked. Can you post side by side comparison?

Mark, the black is good but the white is perfect, IMO.

Mark/2thdoctor is the "Darth Vader" of dentists...he wears black scrubs.
I suggested Armani white linen scrubs for summer...at least until labor Day....kind of a cool "Miami Vice" look w/ the new white Tudor.

For the black "Darth Vader" scrubs look, Mark needs a blacked out Rolex, a Bamford or Prohunter blacked out sub or gmt

The solid black doesn't work. I think you need a strap with some white in it. Here is item # 220631911943 on Ebay.

They both look good and makes for a completely different look.
I like the idea of changing it up.

Thanks for all your opinions my friends! I like the look of both, but I must say, the black rubber strap is incredibly comfortable!

That NATO would look cool.
I love the bezel font, very different, kind of retro computer text

Although I am not a NATO fan, I would actually give that one a try. Problem is, the lug width on this Tudor is 21mm. The rubber strap is 22mm, but I squeezed it in. That NATO is 20mm, so there would be a gap which I'm sure would drive me nuts.

Only half a millimeter on either end of the spring bar, shoudn't be too bad....better than the gap on that old photo of the sub/strap on the old Bond film.
