I thought about ordering a custom strap but I wasn't sure how a strap would look on a BLNR. I decided to try it with a more commonly available IW Suisse GT Carrera strap. I also have a set of endlinks in-bound from George so those will help present a more finished look.

I like the look but I'm not certain if I'll purchase a custom strap. Having said that, The Strap Smith" has a very attractive blue double-stitched black strap:

He doesn't do the blue sides any longer but the holes and the keeper are still blue-sided. I'm still uncertain though.

Has anyone else put their BLNR on a strap yet? I'd love to see the results.

I have the LN on strap with end links. I think the
BLNR would look sick with a custom strap .

It does look nicer on a bracelet but maybe a NATO strap might work?

Not sure if I like it or not.

Looks great IMHO!! Whatever works for you is all that matters in the end....Cheers,

Agreed, looks great on a strap.

I was thinking of getting a Rubber B for my Day/Night - I think it would look sick. That said, the PCLs on that bracelet look really good...

Each to his own but I'm just not a strap fan for any Rolex unless it was original to the model. Have to admit that some look good but IMO it degrades the watch.

Get end links for it buddy

elcompa · 1 December 2013, 03:01 AM

I might think that a good distressed, brown, vintage band would look nice. As it is, Ill keep mine with the PCL band it came with.
