The best way to wear your 14060M. Croco or rabbit?

Hi, guys, I wear now my 14060M on a medium brown croco and find it quite nice and much less "sport" than with a bracelet.
But still guess what is the best way to wear it, on a croco or on a rabbit?

Here some pics for make an idea...

Submariner 14060M on a croco



























Submariner 14060M on a rabbit (called Terminator...)











Thanks for help

Diving watches look terrible on straps and other bands .... there is a reason they come with Stainless Steel bracelet ... putting a rolex diver on a strap made of croco, rabbit, racoon, birds, tiger, killer whale, elephant, godzilla.....just ruins 90% of the looks and makes the watch look weak ....straps should be reserved for wannabe watches full of hot air, like the Daytona, Tudors and Cellinis ....not for legendary icons like the Sub or the SD ....

I love the pics! I tend to keep my Rolex divers either on the bracelet or a NATO. My Panerai Submersible however sees everything from croc and calf to osterich and chicken leg....

Great pics man. I like watches on leather straps, but your SUB would look better if you will put it on black croc strap, brown strap and black bezel do not match each other in my opinion but if you like it and it works for you that's what counts. Your rabbit is awesome!

Really not working for me. Complete mismatch between watch and strap.
Nice rabbit though.

I gotta say, the whole setup looks pretty good to me! I really didn't expect to like it but I did!! The rabbit? Well, that's another matter for another forum.

I'd put my 14060M on a NATO if I could, but my straps from TF don't seem to fit through the narrow gap between the spring bar and the case...

I love reptile skin watch straps.....but not on the sub....bracelet, NATO or rubber strap are the only ones, IMHO, that look good on subs!

Akira... maybe you should try the rabbit instead ;)

I do like the sub on crocs though, but maybe I would prefer it on a steel belt.

I would have to dissagree with some of your post.
I often wear my 14060M on a leather band. I think it looks pretty good and it is very comfortable to wear. Also it also goes under the rader when needed.

Neither. Watch on a cock is still the best way to go...




Please. No jokes about the size of my cock. It was a specially made Yacht Master (500 mm), that is why the cock looks so small...
