Sky Dweller Blue with Blue Rubber Strap!

I was looking for the right rubber strap for SkyD Blue for long time to make SkyD become everyday watch.

Finally end up with the waffle strap. Please see the photo.
I am so excited to share this photo to every SkyD owner if you guys have the same matter. It is inexpensive strap but really match with SkyD.

Sorry, but personally don’t dig the look of the waffle strap and rubber band on Sky Dweller, and I'm a huge fan of rubber bands in general.

Which aftermarket rubber strap brand did you use ? I'm not too sure about Uncle Seiko's blue waffle strap.....

Interesting! But with the Sky-Dweller / DJ ( fluted bezels) I always like the combination of the PCL / jubilee and the fluted bezel ( the shine it gives off) with the rubber it kind of kills it.

It is not out for the SS version yet though; it will come out in spring 2018 or so. Only for leather band PM versions for now. Looks great though thanks for sharing.

I actually like the rubber (certain) straps on the Sky Dweller. That Rubber B strap in particular looks great!

Right, the PM SkyD with the leather straps have a much different end link fit than the SS SkyDs. I find myself looking at the rubber straps but in truth know there's nothing like the oyster bracelet for the SkyD SS models.

Sam hooked me up on that!! I think there is a community effort to swing me to the dark side again

Looks awesome Neil, I will not lie.

My AP aspirations are for the 39mm or max 41mm offerings sadly at the moment.

I find the 42 ROO wears similar to the 41 RO as it has a tighter, smaller dial, but it's obviously thicker. I love this combo on my 44.

If the watch come with the rubber strap band than it’s ok or if you work in a rough environment it’s also fine.
