Of the NATOs I like the black, not sure I like the texture of that particular leather, but probably better in person. I know folks are adament about end links and not having the gap, but I prefer it without the end links I think. For me the bracelet is the winner, but I'm in the brushed center link camp, and that rubber b with the blue stripe is a big winner!

I love the rubber b with blue stripe. Where can I get one and does it come with the clasp?
Edited...found it http://rubberb.com/en/rolex-watch-ba...s-vulchromatic |

In your collection pic, what strap, maker and deployant is second from end going to the right? I've been looking for a quality leather/synthetic with that type of deployant. Thanks for the info.

Revival
I am reviving this thread as I just purchased a BLNR and am very excited about the strap options. Ideally I would love to find the Jubilee with the 502T End Links and have that as an option, but the NATOs, Everest, and Rubber B straps are quite nice.
I understand that both Everest and Rubber B will come with spring bars, however with a NATO strap what spring bars would I need for this option? Thank you, in advance. |

OP many many thanks for the time and effort you went to for this thread. You have saved me a lot of time. Whilst I don't mind the black and grey NATO (still a bond fan at heart) and the leather/rubber actually seeing all the option Ive decided I prefer the original bracelet.
PCLs I'm 50/50 on. Some situations I like them, others not so much. But bracelet still wins hands down for me. |

Love that watch! From your pics I like the black NATO with grey stripes the best. And the bracelet of course. I think the black leather straps look a little out of of place with the BLNR.. I reckon black rubber would look better.

To me, the BLNR was made tone on the ss band and anything else cheapens the watch.

Thanks for pic. I am was researching straps for my two tone Sky Dweller. Looked at Rubber B, but prefer a leather strap, but want the functionality of being able to wear it in the water.
Looked at custom straps form ABP but worked quite expense for not something I really wanted. Your post as has answered all my questions. Quality of Viscount strap, best buckle to use. Also if I should consider a nato. I love the watch on the leather, also on the nato and bracelet. Great watch. |

I have a Blnr and could never picture it on anything but the bracelet or Rubberb. I'm not a big strap fan on Rolex but I've tried a lot of natos on others and the JB nato on yours actually looks pretty good. I'm most surprised how well the leather looks, the end links really help. Great thread, you've got me thinking to step out of the box a little bit.
