How does this blue band look on my blnr

I put my blue Everest on my blnr. How do my fellow members think it looks ? I bet some will love it and some will hate it. Go !

I like Everest straps, so I’m a fan of this look. Put my green one on my green sub recently, which is too much for some people, but I dug it. Plus, it’s comfortable.

I’ve seen the blue rubber b on a BLNR and it looks fantastic.

Take some more pics, outside, in filtered light, and show some more angles.

I think yours will look fantastic as well : )

I will take more photos tomorrow. I really like it.i got this one from a fellow member. I am ordering black for this one as well and I have the black , green and white on the way for my sub hulk. I know it’s not for everyone but I really like how it gives you so many options for your watch to look different. It is comfortable. Plus it allows me to not wear out my metal band as much

It looks OK but cheap. Nothing's better than original bracelet.

I think it does look nice. I've been tempted to try one on one of mine but can't seem to commit being a big bracelet fan. Thinking I'll try the rubber b black/white stripe one on my Polar or green Everest on my SubC

This Everest fits perfect. I agree with the above the factory bracelet is very classy. Think this gives the watch a fun pop. Changes it up some. Good for daily and stuff. Probably wouldn’t wear it to a nice dinner but most other occasions yes. Plus it allows me to not be so cautious while attempting not to scuff up the gmt bracelet

For couple hundred bucks why not. Scratch this rubber no problemo. Scratch the factory little disappointment then.

If you like it and it’s comfortable then why not? I think it makes the watch look more playful, for better or for worse. I have a 16710 BLRO that I replaced the bracelet with a dark blue suede band with. I was told that I shouldn’t do it because it no longer looks like a Rolex. As if I’m committing a crime or something.

It doesn’t bother me about the knock off look. As long as I know what it is. It does not matter to me about what the others think. But I do agree to other comment it does kind of have a summer look. I am going to change it out to my
Black band once it arrives. It will tone it down a bit.

I would not do it Ever!

But I do think it looks great... It needed a touch more blue

Too blue IMO. In addition, having tried Everest on 6 digit cases, I think they look best on bracelet. But it is a (relatively) inexpensive option to spice things up from time to time, so enjoy!

I actually prefer the look of the Rubber B in black using blue accents on the BLNR. The all blue Everest looks too blue.

Whenever I see anything other than a Rolex Sub on a nato, I kinda think of those rolexes where the previous owner unwisely sold the bracelet and you see these orphan “braceletless” timepieces on chrono 24 for chump change. Yes, I’m out...

But the good thing is the watch is not an orphan. I have a brand new bracelet with full stickers still !
